Or occasionally into a small child who has just run into the road as they don't have the reactions to brake in time.

I'm 20 with 1 year NCB on my Citroen ****box (licence held 3 years). Only pay £400 a year TPFT - comprehensive wasn't worth it with £200 excess and the vehicle value <£300.
I'm getting quotes varying from £700 to £1k for my 2.5 petrol landy but I reckon I could get it down to £500-£600 by moving my NCB onto it and going with specialist insurance.
Between when i was 17 and now, my insurance costs seem to have dropped off a cliff. I'm looking forward to my post-21 renewal

dont give up its worth it for the freedom you gain even if you have a **** box for your first year to get your no claims up, take it easy too just because you have passed doesnt make you a good driver that takes time and experience

OK.... so I do notget it.....
I wouldnot go get a Ferrari because I can not afford the insurance...instead I might rebuild a classic ferrari and use it for shows only therefore only havinglow insurance. In the meantime I may or maynotbe tempted to drive a fiat 500 for two or three years building a discount that Icould then use when insuring th ferrari for proper usual use...
Errr......
Substitute "Ferrari" for "Land Rover"

I have it on good (though anonymous) authority that your tongue retains flavours of virgins worldwide!I hope thats not an offer..as it may spoil the taste of this fruity australian red.
Still...
While I would prefer to attain such taste firsthand.....
Euugh did I type that our loud?!

Tis a lie..... I was looking forward to 21....nothing.
maybe it was 25..... nothing.
Getting a real job was what did the trick. Then a mortgage. Then married...
Now I can afford to insure anything for less than £350
. But sadly I'm now too old for that WRX STI 555 'enormous spoiler' Subaru now .

Whats so messed up about this whole Insurance thing is that it seems to be not so much about the car now, more it seems about were you live.
Im 22 been driving 3 years with no NCB and can insure my Discovery for less than any corsa or fiesta no matter how small the engine, its a joke.
Last few months I've been running a Subaru Forester S Turbo also insured for way less than any ****box. So how can a 180BHP road going rally car be classed as less risk than lets say my first car a 1.25 Fiesta
