 | car insurance lo chaps. Ive been looking around i-net insurers like the-aa and elephant/admiral (think its same company tbh). but they all quote STUPUD ammounts on even 10yo 1.0's. I was lookin at 1, and for a civic 1.3 M reg, it was 3k fully comp and 2.6k 3rd+f+t. needless to say when i clicked the female box rather than male i could get fully comp for just over 2k :E not fair at all.  joga bonito www.darkmattercommunity.com - sign up for our Gow 1&2 and CoD4 team add me : http://twitter.com/russgroves my blog : http://russellgroves.blogspot.com |

| Try Tesco's, they are the cheapest for me. And to be honest, don't expect to pay under a 1000 to insure anything but a 1.0 Metro. Living and dying laughing and crying Once you have seen it you will never be the same Life in the fast lane is just how it seems Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean  |

| I managed to get £1450 through Liverpool-Victoria on my 1.4 Clio just after I'd passed, which was the best deal then for me. If you pick the right car it can make a difference (I was only expecting to be able to afford a 1.1 or so for my first) and obviously different insurance companies vary. Norwich Union are very good, I'm going with them for my Alfa  My name is Simon  |

| Car insurance is a bitch, plain and simple. You gotta pay to play. There's a reason it's expensive for young drivers (they crash more) and there's a reason young female drivers have lower premiums (they crash less). Insurance companies run on VERY low margin, believe me...  "All our beliefs are being challenged now, and rightfully so, they're stupid." - Bill Hicks |

| I must say actaully I'm well pleased with my insurance this year, was paying £760FC and was hoping to get it down to about £600 this year, renewal came thru the otherday, £502.19 how impressed was I  Mind you I am turning into an old git and havent hit anything for a while  A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. |

| £650 - about 1.5x what my rusty 1.6 rover is worth I'm 26, but without any no claims so I guess it was to be expected. Insurance + all the other associated costs was probably the reason I left it till now to buy my first car. |
