    Insurance is a bugger.. Its cheaper for me (19yr old) to be a named driver on my parents 4.6l Mustang, than it is to insure my own 998 Mayfair! >.<

    If the westminster was practical I'd be riding around in that, its quite cheap but for the amount of time ill have access its not.. Damnit >_<

    It's cheaper for me to insure a 2.7l 3 tonne Discovery than my modified 1.3 Cooper (£500 cheaper)

    Because I'm going through the Army college so I'd have to wait a year for them to do just my theory, I'm impatient and have a Mini ;)
