There does seem to be a 'sweet spot' for car insurance regarding age.
Luckily for me, it would seem, I (and the wife) are in it at the moment. I have had insurance quotes on loads of different cars lately, all quite expensive and fairly powerful. The average is around £260 for both of us on pretty much anything. :?
