I may just be cynical ..but how come all the younger guys on the forum all started off with gti,s xr2,2 turbo,s and the like......When I am always hearing stories of the crippling insurance premiums for young drivers these days...When I we were 17-18 we all drove round in shitboxes that couldn,t pull the skin off a rice pudding

can people also add how much insurance is and where they are roughly?
how the hell did you insure an orion turbo at 17? and how do you insure a cossie at 26?

my mk2 escort was 500 quid to insure 17 years ago! the m3 is 700 quid now
