Default Is my head in the clouds?

I'm 21, 22 in a couple of months and I'm after a 4wd saph cossie.

does anybody out there know of anyone my age thats managed to get insurance on one of these or am I just dreaming. I have my first baby due in a month and could do with a 4door and decent sized boot.

any help with this is greatly appreciated

cheers

CJ

Adrian Flux, Greenlight, HIC, Directline, Norwich Union are all worth a try, Greenlight give a PassionFord discount and cover mods and track days and stuff (as do some others so make sure you ask)

see, i am 23 now, Soo wish id bit the bullet and got a cossie
at the time(when i was 21) i bought the car i got now...

Get one mate, and endure the insurance,
cos you Just KNOW that whatever you get IF IT AINT a cossie,
(like me) you'll be saying,, fook sake, i Should of bought a cossie
instead of this more sensible (read Slow) thing i got.
