Have you tried elephant they only charged us Â£600 we are only 25, they are really good and have always given us the cheapest quotes.

So what's the catch Lyndon? Doesn't it make you wonder how they can be SOOOO much cheaper? I nearly went with them, but it only saved me Â£30 so I couldn't be @rsed for the hassle of getting proof of no claims etc - I'm paying Â£500 and something with Tescos - and I'm old too

My first insurance at 18 years old was Â£114 tpft on a 1100 G reg (1960s not 1990!!!!!!)

esure won't insure anyone under 30 with a CC SE - rules me out

adrian flux were best with me due to the mods at Â£627 but i won't use them again due to charging Â£21 to insure courtesy cars etc.....

axa were Â£595 but cancelled my policy when i told them the car was lowered but strangely they covered every other mod

My first insurance at 18 years old was Â£114 tpft on a 1100 Greg (1960s not 1990!!!!!!)

But I'm the 1975 model - and it costs a lot less than Â£114 to ride me!! (a couple of pints of Stella usually does the trick!!)

er alters ya handling. gives the impression u are gunna drive faster.

only thing that has any substance in saying u might drive faster is if you modify the engine to increase performance.

having a car lowered doesn't any i wouldnt say the handling is much different from before.
