Of what relation is the value of a vehicle to the price of insurance?
If you wanted it, you could work hard and pay for it. You just don't want it and therefore your original comment about doing anything to have one is false.
I STAND VICTORIOUSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I wouldn't insure a £15k car TPF&T. Just look at that guy that did it with a £10k Elise.
It's silly money. Cheapest real quote I got I think was close to £8000, how can I afford insurance like that year after year?
Sure if I was given a free Mustang I could probably do it as the quotes come down over the years and my purchase money went on insurance - one problem though as no one wants to give me a free Mustang
I'd even go as far to say as I'd owe money to own and be able to drive a Mustang now, and it's probably the only thing bar a house I will owe money on in my life hopefully.

Work harder. There are tens of people who could afford to spend £8000 per year on insurance.
My Z3's on TPFT, and FT was only after I got an independent specialist to value it. It was valued at over £10,000.
FC is impossible on cars over 6 years old here. You just deal with it.
Haha! I remember a friend of a friend (Russian oligarch) was going to get an E60 M5 in Central London when they just came out.
They had it on order, but when the insurance quote of £10k came through, they cancelled it. Poor kid had to live with an E46 330i at 18
There are plenty of reasons to work harder and better yourself, doing so to hand over £8000 to an insurance company to insure what is a fairly cheap car with a V8 engine bolted to it isn't what I'd call a brilliant motivation to earn more money.
Depends how bad you want it, you'd have to want a Mustang really hard to consider spending £8000 insuring the thing.
Work even harder then?
Not everybody's made for working the streets. Maybe he's got piles..

Put me down as a possible spectator, I may be able to sneak away for the day un-noticed by she who must be obeyed

Damn, was looking forward to mooching around your G60
No idea how it happened but looks like moisture got under the lacquer so the paint has got pimples everywhere, the meet is local so i might come and have a look for an hour or so but i might as well put the money towards repairing it instead of putting it on the RR
That was indeed my Saleen.
I got quite a few blurry snaps of it that day, it was absolutely stunning and the first Saleen I'd seen in the flesh. I'm pretty sure it was also parked next to this brand new Evo with a license plate which made me want the owners name to be "Stu" ![[TW]Fox](/data/man-of-honor/2009.png){kind=avatar}
That not an Evo 8/9? My bad. I think I took it around end of 2006 (edit: photo time stamp 9/11/06), not too sure on the details. Looked new to me from the pic but my memories of my uni days are quite hazey at best and my ability to distinguish Evo models are, well as you can see, below par

Those two statements do not contradict each other? 
He's saying the brand new Evo was parked next to the Mustang. I identified the Evo, explained what year it was likely to be, then 'dated' the photograph by explaining when Gibbo got the Mustang and what year the Mustang was
