Youngsters ( especially young lads ) are getting screwed with car insurance to the point where many cant afford to insure their vehicles, and get their first step on the motoring ladder... out of order if you ask me.

I remember my first car was a 1981 Cortina 2.0L and that was only £800 to insure.. and when I was 18 I was insuring my Rs Turbo for around £400 due to a special offer.

Now Im 34, 8 years no claims, Pass Plus and it still costs me £400 to insure a 1.0 corsa... !!!! I was insuring my Escos for less PMSL

BTT.. MK2 Escort would be a cool car for a first motor, or a Mk1 fiesta.
