Mate I know that feeling. I'm paying €3000 at the moment for my insurance! Someone rear ended my mk5 and decided to sue me over it, so I've lost my no claims bonus AND been hit with a massive accident loading for being under 25. Luckily all reports point to the other driver for fault so it's reckoned that I'll have my no claims bonus reinstated and have any excess I've paid refunded to me. That said, ever when my insurance is back to normal I'll still be paying about €1500 for a 1.4 car, even with my no claims. No other choice but to grin and bear it saly  :angry:

Has anyone noticed how the "old" dubbers turned this thread into "hey, look how cheap is my insurance?" :D

Only because they are jealous of the young dubbers and our coolness in general.  :grin:

I'm started to benefit from being only 21. :afro: If I did renew my policy my GL would be £450 next year instead of £650, or I can get a 8v GTi for £700, or a 16v GTi for £750. :grin:

Personally would have brought a newer slower car! I can get insurance on a Supercharged S2000 for that much, and im under 21 so most places won't even quote for a normal S2000!

(Not that i've been looking at charged S2000's :lipsrsealed:)

That's bloddy cheap. I know that the insurance gets A LOT cheaper, when you turn 21, but that is still really good for a VR6 and fully comp.
