I wrote my first 1.2 8v off after seven days of passin. Then persuaded old man it was a good idea to let me buy a 1.4 16v SRI and now i have wrote that off i can't get insured on ne thing but a 1.2. Its all my fault i know but its a right bastard was hoping on a 1.6 16v engine in march oh well looks like its back to square one.

What wrong with the 1.2 8v?
Low insurance, gets to 70mph, fair mpg low maintenance. You need to walk before you run.

Christ, thats not a great driving record.
If you don't have time to stop then you shouldn't be driving as close. You don't have to be a hoon to crash in to things.
All experience eh.
