I know somebody who has a Porsche Carrera GT and is 19

How? I don't believe Porsche would sell one to somebody that young from a PR perspective: "19 year old kills 3 crashing his £300,000 Porsche 'hyper' car...."

Apparantly Porsche 'vetted' buyers to make sure that they were going to people who would actually use them, not just put them in collections!?!?!

I honestly can't believe a 19 year old owns and insures a Carrera GT!

Nothing is stopping someone buying it second hand...and if you have enough money you only ever need to insure it to the minimum required by law (3rd party) so it is quite possible to be honest.

Um, never thought of myself as one of the older ones on here, at 27! You're all spermatozoa! Can't believe I'm older than Hyb or Cue! Still-they say you're only as old as the woman you feel. Great, I'm 31 then. :cry: \

How does an 18 year old bloke with no more than a year's experience and no-claims get insured on a 17D car? Madness! Tesco wouldn't even give me a quote at 26!

27 is a good age Steve!! (me too)

Had an E46 M3 at 26 tho! had it for a year.,.. and what a year... tyres are expensive though! VTS before that, had to return to the hot hatch's living in London (not to mention excessive insurance costs).

Very impressed with the commitment of the younger (am I old enough to say that) crew

Can't believe it, there was me under the impression that I was amongst the youngest at 24... and it's taken until now to get an exciting car, having blatted around in a Ka whilst at uni... :oops: Good times though in a car that was pretty slow!

Yes, you are all just young tadpoles. not going to say how "young" i am but was offered insurance with all the bells, courtesy car low excess etc etc for £260. Went with a more expensive Greenlight quote with "mods" in mind.

Nope, no-one is allowed to ruin threads (other than me). :lol:

Please don't quote the a-holes ducks butt, it gives me two links to remove!

You sound like Alan Partridge, "Back of the net!".

I got tired of 18 year olds, I prefer a woman who's sorted her head out and knows what she wants, as long as that isn't three kids and a Range Rover.

Definately not one of the younger ones here at 26! 19 and driving a Trophy?! Was in a Citroen AX at that time, and that was my Mums!

take care then, no matter how good at driving you are, I guarentee you aint as experienced as you need to be taking the Trophy near it's limits on the road.

I know i sound like a driving instructor here but those advanced driving courses are such a good idea. More than just keeping your insurance down, they'll teach you that speed doesn't kill, going to quick for road conditions kills.

24 here.. thought I'd be one of the youngest but evidently not, 24 seems to be the most common age though... 25 in October, bring on the cheaper insurance :) Paying about £650 at the mo.
