i got a quote for a 340 1.4 im 22 no no claims but no accidents or anything 360 i thought that was dirt cheap considering my diesel caddy is £500 thats with direct line and i always find that fully comp is cheaper except on my 78 alfasud that was the only car that was cheper tpft strange i think :D
