totally agree mate and i have been on my dads insurance as a named driver even tho it is my car. Prob just jealous cause my mummy and daddy dont have a merc!
Insurance is so bloody daft tghat it would have cost me 1400 quid to insure my 1.4 clio when i got it 2 years ago - i was 21 - now its...
IMO there seems to be a few plonkers on this post - some saying the guy is guilty b4 they even know the full story. Others that are going to get insured on s**t cars and then drive mummys new merc and others that say dont drive fast even tho they own 172s - Why dont you get a slower car if you...

some different replies there which I like!
I was just saying from experience that my v reg 1.4 8 valve seems to pull away better than the 1.2 16V.
