ive goto admit when you see young ones (17 and 18 yo) driving around in mummy and daddys car its a bit more worrying as it a case of yeah this has got so much more power than my 1.0 corsa saxo punto etc and they are more likely to push the car further without knowing how well it handles

gives an example it suffered from lift off oversteer but you knew how to handle it now think if someone who had just passed their test jumped into and lifted off round a corner weeeeee their off in a nice spin
i admit it myself when i was in the civic the most i would overtake on the roads round here would be 1 car at a time (unless i had a long straight and the cars were going slow enough) where as now with the bora i find myself passing until i know i have to come back in eg this ive just had to take my mum over to pick up her car passed 3 cars and a wagon whereas before i would never have done that in 1 move
is there not a insurance company now that will try and source 2nd hand parts to fit rather than new ones to keep premiums down. rather than fit a new front bumper at maybe £250 they would source one from a scrappy thats been involved in a rear shunt and take it fit it and dust it off to match the paint cost prob around £150
but like everyone else i think there robbing ******** who just want to make money off the young drivers
