insurance is ridiculous.
My golf (16v gti) cost me 1300 this year... half way through the year i've now changed to a nissan200sx running 280bhp... And its only 300 more.
The joke is if i waited til my renewal to change cars it would have cost me 1800.
Moral of the story, insurance is GHEY! Ring your insurance company and ask them, and shop around!
Thats my only advice!
