Thats a good lump of cash mate. You may be suprised by the insurance. When you looking at?

Mattharvey12 · 05-05-2009, 06:25 PM

well basically i have to sell my car to get it. one of my mates is obsessed with it and he said if he starts to learn when he turns 17 he will buy it. but preferably before summer next year. but if insurance is to much i will just wait till december (20th bday) and save up a bit more and get an even more mint one
