Sucks to hear mate, looks wickedly clean!. Mind if i ask how much the insurance are trying to rip you off by? I only ask because I'm 20, and also have a 1.4. insured atm, but dont want it to go up!

all of a sudden no insurance company will insure me for less than at least 2500-3000
and my dad is very against the whole fronting business so its gotta go
ive held my licence for a little over 2 years and i have no points or ever made a claim so i just cant be
bothered anymore probably a postcode thing

sorry my friend but it owes me too much and its too clean to be any cheaper
you really have to see it to appriciate it.
ive only done about 1000 miles since ive owned it so its still only got 35000 miles
genuine on the clock with all the paperwork to prove it

Christ! mines around a grand, I'm similar sort of position, no claims, 2 years driving etc. Im with sky insurance. Got an extra 20% off because i was on driftworks. SIgn up on driftworks, dont post anything, and get the 20% off.

Cant believe 3000, for a 5 door! iwas getting quoted 1200 for a 5 door when looking around, and 2500 plus for a 3 door! Called sky, and blam, Down to 80 quid a month now.
http://www.driftworks.com/forum/sky-insurance/ worth a shot, save you getting rid of an awsome motor!
