Re: Guaging interest - need advice quick

Re: what is the cheapest insurance co. for mr2 turbo's?

Adrian Flux win for me, 20 years old 3 years ncb, all mods declared on fully comp insurance for just over 1000.

im on a modified classic policy apparently. They love you if your young and have mods, any other insurance company associate the car with a young driver and turn you away.

After taking my car for a hard blast down a bumpy road, my speedo stopped working. I though it had packed up completely, but it came back on for a little bit, then stopped again and hasnt started since.
