Hello everyone

[Turek]

Hello, my name is Tom.

I actually havent got a 4x4 car yet, but I am looking to buy some Patrol Y60. It was my passion for a long time, but as I moved in to UK 10 months ago I wasn't able to do so because of the move.
I am adrenaline addicted (I used to do rallying) photographer and I work as a web developer.

As it is going to be my first car in UK, I've seen on some posts people were saying about insurances around £400 or less, but when I did some quote it turned around £1100 on the cheapest one. Without any modifications, and as I would like to put some higher coils, shocks and bigger tires it will cost me a fortune probably.. is there any good insurer for a "first timer"?

And one more thing, is there any Sell forum here as I couldn't find any - or is it only for full members?

I can think of it, but I always wanted Y60

not many y60 patrols about

And why is that? hard to get parts? I could see that on AutoTrader for example - there were none, so I thaught on a proper forum there will be more

Hi, I have already seen your pictures - thats amazing - and what I was looking for. How much is the insurance in that case?

 

[makeitfit]

Mine is not cheap as it's one of many cars I have and I'm a bit good at collecting points too :doh Result about £380 I think
