As in no insurance company in the UK will insure an 18 year old on a porsche haha. They won't even give you an offer.
Just like the inside of my Combo... well, my companies CRAPbo. Is there a quick and lazy way of installing an Auxillary in to the CD30? nothng worse than driving a gutless 1.4L van around, and having to listen to the radio..... (which cuts out) I'm told Corsas are something that young people try race in? What does insurance cost you ballpark anyway? My E34 Wagon is like... $300 a year, and I'm U25.
£768 per year for a 19 year old with a years no claims discount on car and 2 years no claims on a moped prior to that. Fully comprehensive with anywhere in UK (excluding Northern Ireland) recovery and courtesy car, no black box unit (many insurers install these for young drivers, void or increase insurance premium if you speed or violate curfews but the policy costs less in the first place). 2 other named drivers. Supposedly only 5000 miles per year but its not like they check (just aswell). The combo was pretty much a corsa stretched to van like proportions so I'm not surprised it looks the same inside, terrible vehicles. I had the CDR2005 rather than CD30 in my car. Nasty thing. Don't know much about the CD30 except that they use a quadlink harness rather than ISO, the CDR2005 simply uses ISO with 2 wires swapped (which is common for many manufacturers so on quite a few aftermarket wiring harnesses you find these 2 cables have plugs mid way down them which can be swapped anyway). On the CDR there was nowhere visible on the PCB for an aux connector and there certainly wasnt a plug for it on the front or rear of the unit, combine that with my CDR no longer ejecting disks anymore and it had to go. Spent about £20 in total for the fascia adaptor set, an aerial extension (the stock vauxhall/opel/holden (3rd&4th gen barina) aerial connection has almost zero friction on it, I've got a big of a macgyver solution with an extension cable and a ton of electrical tape) and a set of fuses after blowing one. New headunit cost £20 2nd hand from a local items for sale group on facebook (worth checking to see if there are any in your area, get some bargains on there). As for racing in them. What an american calls a ricer we call a boy racer. Ignore the racer part of the term, their barks are bigger than their bites. Bodykits, light strips, paint jobs, massive subs in the boot, aftermarket rims, slamming suspension and sticking a fat exhaust on it. Not really turning it into a race machine so much a thing that handles like crap (slammed suspension not done right) and loses its bumpers on every speedbump, typical ricer really. They'll only outperform my car because I have the 1.0 engine which was the smallest of the bunch and has almost zero power. My preference with modding: sleeper vehicles. I would rather keep a stock exterior but upgrade the performance as much as possible rather than end up with the above piece of turd.
Lol that thing looks like a turtle. A really lazy way is to buy one of those: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/car-ipo...sette-adapters/abcat0307013.c?id=abcat0307013 This if you have a cassette player in your radio. I have one too in my 1.4l ford focus and it sounds quite good for only 8€.
Wow, you teenagers in England really have high insurance rates. Why is that? Are most UK teenagers unable to drive or something? In the student parking lot at my high school there's a lot of older cheaper cars and cars that look like they belonged to their parents (minivans and stuff) but there's stuff like newer Hondas, a few pickup trucks, and even a Mustang.
My schools has 3 Mustangs of the same generation parked next to each other. There's a $35,000 F-150, a Dodge Challenger R/T, and a couple 5 series BMW's too. And I just drive a humble Toyota Corolla... But, shit, it was 99 cents. JK, it was free.
hehehehehehe, found out that there is a tesla store only 48 Mins away from me , ik where i'm going next time im at the city it's in
theres a kid in my school with a Camaro...its orange and dented/scrached. His parents got it for him brand new, he has crashed it 4 times.........................then the rest of the parking lot is pretty much same as you described
I got lucky in high school, there was actually a pretty good car group amongst some of us guys. Of course there were a bunch of kids with POS ricers, and other jap crap, however in our own group we had some serious performance cars. There were quite a few mustangs, most of which were 94-04 v6's however there were at least 2 guys who would drive late 60's stangs on a regular basis. There were a couple other 3rd and 2nd gen Camaro/firebird owners like myself, although a lot of students called us stoners . There was one kid who drove his dads blown 70 Charger on a rare occasion, and one kid with a 38 chevy. The guys I was most jealous of were some friends who had some serious tuned 4th gen Camaros and Trans Ams. They were sick, the kids who owned them took great care of them and they were never wrecked. Most of us actually had the cars titled in our name and bought them with our own money, there were a couple of kids who had rich parents who would buy them brand new Camaros, Mustangs ect. but they were all V6's so we gave them a lot of crap about that. One kid who just about all of the 3000+ students envied was a guy who would occasionally drive his daddys Porsche 911. Oh ya and there was this girl who drove an inherited 67 Pontiac Firebird, she annoyingly just called a convertible. She didn't really have a clue what kind of car it was until my friend told here. There were also a crazy amount of lifted trucks. Looking back there really was a cool verity of cars and trucks, I met some great fellow car enthusiasts over those 4 years, good times.
I did drive a 1972 Valiant Charger, We sold the Charger. I also Drive a HiLux, I'll take Pictures of that today.
Konis2014 bro! Feels so much better when you got poly bushings and shocks that aren't completely shot and rusted! I think the front still has to settle a tiny bit, it's a bit high, but oh well. NURBURGRING HERE I COME!
