Well done that man...... It seems to get harder each year, I'm suprised they haven't included a gladiators style obstacle course yet!!!

it wasn't actually that bad, easy questioned regarding changing oil and tyre thread. then off for half an hour. Got reverse parking and reverse around a corner. wee buns!

Just wish i had of done it when i was 17 so i could afford to insure an impreza! might just have to do with a little glanza or something

congratulations mate.

i remeber when i passed my driving test in march 2006. had a ncie shiney white impreza sport waiting for me. that call to the insurers to check everything was legit was fantastic. i just drove around for hours not giving two ***** about petrol

for the record, when i was 22 later that year i got my current uk turbo which im not unfortunatley selling. ecar insured me for £1750 fully comp which was based on me being 22, no ncb, 9 months driving experience, car parked outside etc. try them, see if they can quote you, oh and then bbuy my scoob off me

Nice one fella.
I got my first Impreza when I was 23 and insurance was £1200ish for a uk turbo 2000. Have a look around you may be surprised.
Be safe out there

So you no longer have to do ALL the manoeuvres, then?

I remember my test, near Birmingham city centre, (Lozells, actually), where I had to do all today's manoeuvres and hand signals too.

They only had 2 manouvres back in 1996, no hazards stuff, can't say further back than that though, too young

thats the insurance quote.

The car itself is only £1300 but it needs a new wing and grill and ignition barrel as it was a stolen recovery. Me and my friend are gonna work on it in our spare time to get it up to scratch!

Tried getting a quote for a Turbo 2000 and was Denied
