First car, a Mk4 Fiesta 1.1l. Cost me £1k, cost me £1200 to insure it 3rd party.
2nd car, a Citroen Saxo 0.9l, cost me about £3k (yes I downgraded - but it was a newer car!) - fully comp was about £800.
3rd, a 1995 Mazda MX5 1.8 - £750 fully comp.
....then 2 years later I added a turbo - £750.
4th, the 350Z. Car cost £7500, insurance is £770 (should be £650 but had a "bump" in the MX5).
How the hell do kids afford such crazy insurance?
A 18yo kid up my road insists on owning a cruddy Rover 45. Some turbo diesel thing. He is paying almost £2k insurance! For a god damn grand dads car!!
