Well, I've finally got my provisional licence and have now started driving. Unfortunitely, because the Vectra is still out of action I have to put up with this...

A 1.8 Vauxhall Astra Coupe

Equipped with:
Adjustable Coilovers
17" League Helix Alloys
and an earth shattering exhaust

Hang on, the fooook?!

Thought you had a full licence?

RebelRaven · 07-30-2010, 02:32 PM

Nope...

Murcie_LP640 · 07-30-2010, 09:02 PM

Your fiancee posted that up on a different forum I believe, and this was before the work was done to it lol.

RebelRaven · 07-31-2010, 11:16 AM

My other half is teaching me to drive, so the only thing really needing paid for is fuel due to the fact that his insurance put me on his existing policy for nothing extra a month

its a 09 Vauxhall Antara SE 2.0TDI or 2.2TDI im not sure.
dont know why it would be £1500 to get me insured on it tho.

mad::matt · 08-01-2010, 06:02 AM

I don't even know what an Antara is.

I'll check

.

Ah I see. Never seen one before. XD

Bit of a kick in the twat for that kinda insurance though.

I got a quote the other week for £800 fully comp on a 2 litre Audi.

I take it you're meaning the Vectra lol... It's not a 5 door, it's a saloon (i.e. it's a 4 door

) and it's still in quite a few pieces.
Like I said, my fiancee's insurance put me on for nothing extra a month for now, but when a new policy is taken out it'll be £400 extra.
And no, it's not a 2.0, it's a 1.8... You get them in 1.6s (not a lot of them around though), 1.8s, 2.0 turbo and 2.2s... and then the Triple 8 version.

However, I am looking at getting an Astra 1.8 SRi for my first car

Pretty cheap for the insurance with me being the main driver, but my fiancee being the policy holder... Just over £500
