The Irish Mitsubishi FTO Owners Club

Hi Everyone

Just registered here my name is Niall but my screen name is tadFast. You can call me whatever you want.
I don't drive an FTO at present. I am only 17 and there not exactly an easy yoke to get insured on
Hopefully I'll have my own car in the next few months. I have enough money for a car but insurance is an absoloute ROB

BTW I just came accross this smiley! -> does anyone else think that it looks like a wave that you'd see someone doing while driving or is it just me

Anyways hope to become very active here and cant wait to get to know you all!

Don't mean to be bad...... But not a hope of ya getting insured on an FTO at 17. And a 0.0001% chance at 18

Welcome along Niall. Insurance is the killer for FTO owners as you will no doubt find out. Even in my 30's (*cringe) and I still found it hard to get a quote last year. You can get lucky though if you keep trying but expect to pay as much as the car itself for a years insurance, thats if you find anyone to quote you in the first place.

By the time you can get a reasonable quote, the FTO will probably qualify for classic insurance.

& best of luck

You don't need to tell me that when I'm getting quotes of €6000 on a eg civic

I'm just a fan of the car

Thanks I don't plan to get on one at the moment anyway....not unless I win the lotto :/

Well you'll learn a lot about them from this forum, so that when you do get the chance to purchase you'll know what to look out for.

Oh by the way guys I'm fairly decent at photoshop, if any one is looking into getting a new set of alloys and want to try a few on give me a pm here a before and after of a focus I did in 20 mins yesterday
