Just a few weeks from finishing my 1275 turbo project in my 1984 austin mini mayfair and its just dawned on me im only 17 its about time i actually got an insurance quote with engine declared.

so far ive only found 3 companies which will actually insure me with this sort of modification and taking my age into consideration.
footman james being the only company under £3000 *surprised*.
managed to get a quote of £2000 with everything else declared.

I supose thats the price you pay for being a young driver.
i shall get a few pics next week of what it looks like now and what it looked like a year ago.
got some big plans for this car over the next year just got to wait for funds due to the fact the RAF doesnt pay very well. *happy*

1/4 mile in....??

Oooof, I remember getting quotes on my 998 at 17. Silly question but have you put your mum/dad/older siblings on? I found it was cheaper for me if I put on some older, experienced drivers :)

Indeed, my mortgage payment each month is horrendous, if I didn't pay that I could have loads of toys.

We have a new winner...Oli. Need to
