  1. Just checked the AA site for online insurance quote. Apparently' date=' for the S reg Fiesta 1.4 I'm after, it'd cost me 2600 fully comp. Gay.[/quote']

    Have you booked/passed your test yet?

    I'm not getting fully comp, I'm going for third party fire and theft. Fully comp would be way too expensive.

  2. Holy Shit! What were you trying to insure? Either you need to look harder or seriously re-evaluate what you're going to drive until you build up a no claims.

    Yeah, I know - I was looking at a 1.4CL Polo, 5 doors. Not cheap, but meh. It'll go down a fair bit with Pass Plus when I do that. There were some quotes at 4 grand for the same thing, so I'd much rather pay 1400.

    For a 1 litre N reg fiesta I was getting quoted at just over a grand for insurance. It's high because I'm a 17 year old boy apparently.

  3. So, who from these boards has recently passed their practical test (within the last year or so)?

    I'm getting ready to book mine soon, I hope I pass it first time - I seriously need to be able to drive where I live. 10 miles from anywhere, it's just plain boring.

    Also, if you've passed your test did you go ahead and buy your own car or are you using your parent's car or whatever? I was thinking of buying a VW Polo but I don't have enough money at the moment. God dammit!

    Oh, and one more thing - who else was absolutely apalled at the price of their insurance?! For me to get my own insurance, the cheapest quote that I could find was 1400. Looks like it's extra hours at Somerfield for me then :(

  4. One time a white van drove past me while I was walking my dog, the driver didn't bother to move out a little despite my reflective clothing (to get to where I walk my dog, you have to walk on the side of the road for about 12 metres as there's no pavement) and so the wing mirror of his car cracked into my arm as he drove past at about 50/60 mph. Now, this hurt like hell and caused the wing mirror to break off of his vehicle, it also made a big noise - and the bastard didn't stop! So everyone, leave cars alone but fuck up any white van that you see - the people who drive them are cunts!

    Oh, and I still have the wing mirror, although the mirrored part of it shattered when it hit my arm/the ground. Difficult to tell which.

  5. when I was like 7 or 8 it must have been' date=' my mum helped me dress up as batman complete with cardboard box for mask, pointy bat-ears and a cape made from a black bag....ah those were the days....[/quote']

    Yeah, many a halloween a black bag was used as a cape.

    One time I dressed up as the devil, and I had pajama trousers which had a big devil tail on them. Ahh, it was ace. I got shedloads of sweets that year!

  6. Anybody else taken their theory test?

    I took mine today, I was fairly bricking it as I'd done almost nothing to prepare for it (wasn't worried about the multiple choice, it's easy as fuck - the hazard perception's the bit that scared me).

    Anyway, I passed mine with 34/35 for the multiple choice and 60/75 for the hazard perception, so I'm quite pleased at the moment.

    Now all I gotta do is learn how to drive and take that damn practical test :)
