everything is declared cage, engine etc so this years cost me 1700. i did a quote without the cage and saved £400 but that was with a different insurer who offered me 2500.

rollcages are seen as a false sense of security as far as i know (put a friend off a few yrs ago - quite a few yrs ago infact - with his ax gt lol)

so bumps the price considerably alone

Mines a G3 I think..

I can remember seeing a 1.6 Saxo VTR and a Ford Puma...both 1.6...but the Puma was group 11....and th saxo was 9 !!!!!

Was a few years ago that...but baffled me none the less

how much u pay mate?

both saxo and puma are like rank?

i was surprised i could have a focus 2.0 zetec (0-60 9.0 secs) for the same price of a polo 1.4 16v (10.5 secs 0-60 lol) insurance wise (£1k)

preferred the look of the polo but want something real cheap to run tbh for first year of driving at least lol

u had no bumps? first yr drivin?

i had double the lessons u had (mainly due to the first instructor trying to milk me which was evident not only by my opinion, but that of my later instructor who got me passed first time)

gf is 340 a yr with me on her insurance fully comp for a 56 plate fiesta (1.25) - only £20 more than she was payin without me on it which doesnt make much sense lol

soon have my own car to worry about tho lol

Nope...took me into my 3rd year before a bump in an asda car park..we were both at fault...bt I got the blame. I didnt claim....but the other Grrr did.

My car was always in my mums name..and I was a named driver...but now its in my own name...so should see it drop as time goes by
