• Insurance for young driver. Chipped MINI 9 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  great). Insurance was the main factor, but the car is only a group 5 standard, and it only went up a minute amount with the engine chip. I have the car insured under my dads name and I am a named driver - this has kept the cost down and I pay around £600 a year. One good thing about having the next 9
