A 135i at 21?? Cheeky cnut!

Loads of the younguns at work have 135s, A35s, i30Ns, Focus STs etc. With PCP you can get a well flash motah, it seems to par for the course now when you get your first "real" job.

Yep, he's now working, living at home, paying minimal rent (thanks to the wife!!) so why not? He's actually the reason I ended up buying my 5 series as he was the one looking for a new car. I had mine delivered before covid lockdown, he had to wait for his....he wasn't happy

Get your debts built up early to drive you to greater success / mental illness and poverty.. gamble you have to take these days if you want to look the part (which is the most important thing obvs :| )

I bet his insurance is ridiculous though?

Although at 18 I was driving an xr3i that cost more to insure than to buy

£750 fully comp, which to be fair, isn't that bad. My beemer is £300 and I'm old and been driving forever!

He's also (thanks to paying cock all rent) saving a load each month for a deposit on a house. Has a few investments and will be taking over the company he works for in about 18 months.

£750 is cheap, I was expecting double that or more TBF

I paid £800 to insure an R6 when I was 21.... 21 years ago

He's just got in from work, so I asked him, £650 fully comp, it went down in June this year.

I paid £800 for a 400cc Honda

Just the other day I was getting nostalgic for a gap toothed early R6. I have a late 90s CBR600 at the mo and I'm actually quite enjoying being on an old revvy jap sportsbike. Bring on the 600s shoot out!

German Parallel Import, paid £6k on the nose. Owned it three years, put 27,000 miles on it before trading it in for a 3 year old Blade.

It was burning a litre of oil every 100 miles and was on it's 2nd gearbox and clutch. I'd buy it back tomorrow.

That's the one!

My dad had a subscription to Ride magazine when I was a teen, every other article was a 600 group test

CBR600 sensible choice.
Kawasaki Lardy and slow.
Gixer six getting old.
R6 the sharp one!
TT600 joker with shit fueling.

I tested the R6 back to back with a GSXR600 (SRAD) at the stealership. The difference was night and day. The R6 felt like it had double the power!

Most expensive car insurance for me was the xr3i, was £1380 iirc.. 25 years ago :|

Cheapest ever was a ridiculous quick zx9r, £69 fully comp

[ZRX61]

If she carries that much crap, why not an AMG E63 S wagon?
