Haha :P but I dont get it, whyd a car lose me my license in 2 years?

Also went on gocompare.com to check a 1999 1L corsa and itll cost me £1,773 (cheapest quote) to cover a 1999 1L Corsa, third party only, £250 excess. surely thats not right?[shocked]

well it probably wont,but when your a new driver you have a probationary period.

6 points in 2 years and you'll have to go through all the lessons and tests again.

so getting something that will make you less likely to drive like a plonker and get your self revoked is in your own interest.

you'll probably say on here that you'll be a responsible driver but I can guarantee that as soon as you pass your test you'll think ur the best driver in the world and you'll develop "new drivers lead foot".

as for insurance your gonna be pretty much fooked for a year insurance wise and I would recommend keeping your car for 2 years "until your out of the probationary period" then get what ever you can afford.

the higher excess you pay the cheaper the insurance will be but remember if the cars worth 20p don't go slapping a 500 quid excess on it cos you'll have to pay that plus any compulsory on top, if your gonna do that don't have any accidents but remember your 5 times more likely to have one than someone who has been driving for 3 years of more
another recommendation is get your self on an advanced course too that will lower the premium.
