Yes probably best to start your own as soon as you can really
Or just get something cheap just now and save up for something better & once ins is cheaper!

How old are you?? 17 / 18?? If I was that age again id run a cheap motor for a few years to get some NCB without paying daft amounts of insurance! Then once things have calmed down and you have saved plenty money get something really fast I know a lad thats 19 has an Evo 8 - started off with a 1.0L pug 106 for a few years - no one laughs at him going past now

A 1.4 16v ain't that bad is it group 6-7 or that...1.6 is group 9

i started on a 1.0, and it was fantastic would go 100 miles if u farted in the petrol tank...
then 1 year later a GSi for roughly same insurance price + original car too at el cheapo cost.
