'Progression' to RX7 FD

[Dom]

Hi,

Some of you may remember that I'm biding my time until I'm 21 before subjecting myself to a 3rd gen RX7. Thing is, I don't really wanna jump in one unprepared

My original plan, as I'm selling my mini for a house, was to buy a land rover for up to 2.5k. Reasons for this is that it won't devalue over the year that I keep it, could come in useful for a first time house buyer (shifting sofas etc) and is fun in it's own way.

But, in my infinite wisdom, I've just thought about perhaps buying a 2nd gen RX7? They did a non-turbo version of them didn't they? Would this be overly expensive for a 19 year old to insure.

I was kinda thinking this might give me experience of rotary, and rear wheel drive without sitting 20ft in the air.

Any thoughts :confused:

Cheers,

Dom

hey i got a quote for one of those. i was 19 and 1yrs no claims and got hit with £2500 fully comp. maybe you should try a 1st gen. I think if you wanna learn about rear wheel drive cars i think most racing tracks do courses on how to drive them. or you could go to a track day with your FD and learn the fun way:D

I'm 21 with 0 years NCB ( 2nd car - 1st car has 3 years NCB) my 1st gen cost me somthing like £450 fully comp to insure + you can pick them up for peanuts at the moment and the handle really well and are quick enough to have some tail happy fun in 1st and 2nd :D ( 3rd in the wet :eek: )
