£2k for insurance, you lot must be nutters with money to burn, why not get a 1.0ltr for a couple of years and then get the big guns out when your 19, save some pennies so that after those couple of years you can get a real nice car and not some old underpowered Golf.
I had a 1.1 Pop plus MK2 fester when I was 17, then a 1.3 astra, then 1.0 uno, I was in my mid 20's before I started on stuff with decent CC's.
You kids gotta have it all now now now.
