I must be lucky.

I have just been looking at my old insurance polices and I've noticed that I have never payed over £400.00 for my insurance in my 37 years of driving.

I feel like a nurnt.

Yes but £400 in 1975 would be more than £1,000 today

Edit - Yeah, so £400 in 1975 is equivalent to £3284 today apparently...

14 years driving, don't remember ever paying over £600, maybe £650.

My first policy, at 17, on a Fiat Uno 1.1, was £343. Some 17 year olds now are paying that a month!

My most memorable quote was £22,000 for a Mk1 MR2 worth £3,000 when I was 19. Insured it for about £4-500 in the end.

Wow... the petrol head inside me wishes I'd been born 15 years earlier...

Not sure what you mean, but it was VERY different.

Looking at it another way, I've only once paid more for a year's insurance than I actually paid for the car.

In two years, I've spent nearly 4 times the amount the car cost.

Currently my RS4 is about £35 a month
