Its stupid even at 20yrs old for me!!! They knock a 40% increase to the quote on just because im not 21... i told them to stick it!!! I know how you are feeling, im not too hard done by though, my 1.8 is still pretty nippy!!! _________________________

ZetecGoingOnST Fiesta Fan Registered: 09/10/05 Posts: 145 Loc: wetherby west yorks	I can see it being illegal if you are the registered owner of the car. If you parents are then I cant see there being a problem. Im going to start building my own NCB next year. I wanted to this year but I still have to pay off my car and cant afford the premium! only working part time! Unfortunatley this means I have to wait for atleast two years untill I can comfortably afford the insurance on a more powerful car, even though I long for one! Oh well will give me time to save up for something I really want. _________________________

Also, I could afford the car but now im at university i cant, so do you still feel the same way??? Quote: You also don't build up any no claims, and technically it's illegal. Not aslong as they give you permission everytime and know where your going!!! _________________________

It will cost a small fortune the first year you insure but then it will probably 1/2 and you will be back to normal!!! Even though im at Uni, im being very careful with my cash, im having a great time, going out but also making sure im not spending more than my budget!!! I have a plan to save enough cash to put down a fairly big chunk on the car I long for at the end of the 3rd year of Uni... A Focus _________________________

crofty136 Fiesta Nutter Registered: 16/10/05 Posts: 1478 Loc: Leeds	As far as i know its illegal if you drive the car more than the insurance holder, no expert but i just think its better to get my own insurance. I understand that if you only work part time money is gonna be an issue. thats partly why i have chosen to make my previous part time job full time since doing my A levels. Its not a great wage but its giving me the chance to save quite a bit of money up towards a car and insurance

Go to work full time and have the Focus I want and be able to afford it... or Go to Uni... keep my Foci for a few years, try and save cash inbetween and then buy it at the end of the 3 years... I have chose option 2 as it is the passage I must take in life!!! We are all different!!! _________________________
