yer when i was 18 my insurace on it was 1500 but like you say alot of it comes down 2 were you live if you have a garage and what not!

anyway you think what you lot pay is bad a friend of mine (who is 22) has just got a 430 and his insurance is 9.5k a year! :shock:

But if you can aford a 100k car then you can aford 9k for the insurance! 8)

My cossy is £970 a year full comp all mods declared (450bhp, cage blablabla!) so it does get better!

lol he is iranian (related 2 the royal's out there in some distant way)
infact 4 months before his 18 his brother went home 2 run the famileys companys over there and left him his 360 spyder as a present!! sadly he couldnt get it insured normaly apart from day insurance which was £150 a day! :shock: so we only used it for mad dashes round sutton before flying home before the old bill were called! lol
And yes i once tried 2 race him in the polo 8)

lots of my mates are arabs and roll around in supercars! 8)
Sadly im a white irish/jewish (decended not rearly jewish) so i have 2 make do with the polo, escort and bike :wink:
