I am dreading my quote, I am 23 with no no claims bonus (1/2 way through my 1st year on my own insurance!) But hey, I want the car soo much, oh well Sh*t happens!

And

Elephant are cheap but in my opinion only seem worth getting a cheap quote from in order to get a price match off someone else, 'Internet only' insurance seems dodgey to me especially when you have to fork out 60p a min on the phone if you want to call them! This in combination with the fact that the site was dreadfully slow didn't inspire me too much if I ever had to make a claim.

Don't worry too much about that, at 23 I the best price that I got for insurance was just over £1400 on an Elise 111s with no no-claims.

Make sure you let me know if you get a mega cheap quote for an S though as I'll only just be when mine arrives (assuming that it actually turns up this year!
