Title: how old were you when u first had ur own disco
Post by: beatmasterdave on September 27, 2007, 18:50:51: im 19 now, got my disco when i was 18. its a 2 seater commercial and considered a van, and under my dads insurance which brings it down to Â£600. if it was me on my own, it would be Â£3,000+. the 2 seat trick is really good, i had a Toyota Hilux when i was 16, that was my 1st car on the road. i think that was about Â£400 a year.
heres an example when i was looking into ford escorts
Insurance:
ford escort =Â£1,400/yr
ford escort estate=Â£2,700/yr
ford escort van=Â£400/yr

hope this helps

8) well yeah it worked for me. i had a hilux pickup, but wanted a hilux surf. they couldnt do anything cos all have 5 seats or more. wanted a defender, but couldnt afford a desent one. clicking around on autotrader and stumbled across commercial discos. wasnt keen on discos, but liked the van look. went insurance shopping again asking about em, with standard 5/7 seats, then asked about the 2 seats, and got really good quotes! waited for a bit and got a great deal for my one. loving this disco, no regrets! 8) :D 8) dont know if you can change the insurance for a registered 5/7seater to a 2 seater "van" even if you do take them out thuogh. give it a bash.

Post by: Disco Matt on August 10, 2008, 13:01:45: Got mine at 21 after my old Citroen ZX expired. Amusing part is that at the time I had several friends say "It's a woman's car" or "It's mumsy". Given a fairly sizable percentage of Disco drivers I know are mid-20s blokes I think the image may finally be changing!

Title: Re: how old were you when u first had ur own disco
Post by: Disco Matt on August 10, 2008, 22:05:59: I think you will see an increasing number of younger drivers with them now, as the prices have dropped to such a level as to make them a reasonable proposition. They're cheaper than a Defender but you still have the off road ability and the ready availability of spares and upgrades. Also with the older ones there is little in the way of electronics, making them both simple to fix DIY and capable of being repaired by a small independent garage.
Title: Re: how old were you when u first had ur own disco
Post by: Wireless on August 10, 2008, 22:40:05: I was 33, and that was over 9 years ago, still driving the same Disco today.

However, I'd been driving various Land Rovers with the Army since I was 18, including a Series 2 Ambulance and V8 101 Ambulance, before then, and in civvy street afterwards I'd driven a V8 Range Rover Ambulance and V8 110 4x4 Emergency Response Vehicle.

Out of those, the V8 110 was the best to drive as it had less bodywork and was fairly quick to 60mph, the next best was the Series 2, followed by the 101, and the absolute worst was the Range Rover Ambulance, which was utter crap to drive.

Best non-Ambo would be the Lightweight, absolute joy to drive, although I made the mistake of taking my HGV with the Army and always ended up in Bedford Mk's or CL's towing some great big generator or trailer box body, the best Bedford I drove was the straight 6 RL, despite the cramped cab.

Current Fully Comp is Â£220 on the Disco, but I plan to keep it another two years and then upgrade to a Range Rover Vogue V8 4.4, since by then second hand values will be much lower.

Post by: freelanderpx54 on August 10, 2008, 23:59:58: I was 40 when I got mine. Yes I have got the cardigan togo with it but Kim threw my pipe out. I have got some knackered slippers to make up for that. Insurance is Â£570 which includes greenflag.

Yes I will be changing insurance providers in September

Post by: lee celtic on August 11, 2008, 22:59:01: I was 36 when I got my disco off ebay ;)

I pay Â£288 fully comp with off road cover and all mods declared :dance:

I had a lada niva before that gave me the offroad bug but it was too small for the family but still a very good car.
