[John Tien <johntien99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Claire, Colm and Ian for replying~

Thinking again, I think i will go for the 1990s Mini
option (cost less than 1500!!)... Anyone got any good
insurance company to recommand?? Anything as cheap as
possible really, for a new license driver like me.

Thanks for helping^^

Regards,
John
