Post a picture of your car here Part 4 (quote a picture, get a 24h ban!!)

Took this out of winter hiding and gave it a quick wash. Hard to believe it's almost been a year off the road!

I wouldn't mind having a Glanza like that.

I didn't even know you still had the Glanza! I thought you sold it to get the Celica.

Yeah, couldn't part with it, certainly not for the price i'd get. Hoping to get it on a second classic policy for the summer.

Which is the fastest? I bet the Glanza feels the fastest.

The glanza feels much faster tbh. It has 135bhp from pretty much 2k rpm and it weighs like 900kgs. The celicas 190bhp doesnt come on tap until 6500rpm so you only have 140bhp to lug 1100kgs around most of the time but it's still a nice drive

well no one will touch it on a daily policy because it's over 15, so it's not unthinkable. Clevland also had his carina (96) on a classic policy with another car as a daily so i think it's a reasonable expectation with a 98 starlet.

My car is 17 years old and on a daily policy.

I'm hopeful to get one seeing as it's 17 and i have another daily car but if i can't i'l live, i've driven it plenty already

Can you really be refused insurance because it's 15 years and older? My Glanza is a '99 and I had no problems getting insured, plus there was a massive drop in the premium.

Sometimes you wonder what they base their quotes on

I would keep that Glanza as long as you can. The next owner might ruin it

Well my first year insuring the glanza at age 20 was 475 iirc, now at aged 25 my cheapest renewal choice was north of 900 and the most common excuse to **** me aside from 'it's jap' is that it's over 15... i have a newer, more expensive, almost 50% more powerful car insured for €600. it just grates on me that as the glanza depreciates more and more and i am getting older with more and more NCB that renewals are going up dramatically year on year.

Due to a career change I needed to pick up something small and cheap whilst I'm running up and down to college. It's obviously nowhere near the S4, but it is such a happy, fun car....my Punto Sporting...

Is it just me or those Puntos age really well?

One of the best looking cars in its class.

Its actually one of the reasons I got it, I think its the headlight design that does it.

What's going on with those alloys?

What do you mean?

Enjoy, not many of those left on our roads.

I think there's plenty of those Punto's around.

I don't see them around my place, I thought they were gone.

We've a JTD version of that Punto. Cracking cars

Mk1 1.4 turbo would be a nice a Punto.
