Ooft!
You are brave letting her in that iain250! I'm still a bit reluctant to let my Dad drive mine! Even though he has been driving since before I was born.
Insurance isn't too bad when you're a learner Stuart Delahoy. It's when you've passed your test and the insurance companies realises you are going to be out on the streets on your own, they get a bit nervous and start to charge. My first year in a 1.4 R5 was £100 pcm. Now 21 with the R4 and it's £33 pcm. Still doesn't hold a candle to Bobble and the £100 for the entire year though!!

I dont care what anyone says, that little girl is Coool !!!
Imagine how you would feel if she wanted some crap, soulless, riceburning krudbox that went shhhh when you let the berries off.
You can only be pleased that she is happy to have a beautifuuly engineered car that her old man, and she, can fix.
