Thats prob your best hope. (would suggest getting this moved to members only if you are going to do that though.)
I remember insuring my single @ 19 or 20.....it was a nightmare!
I had to bend bits of thruth. (dear mr new guy @ elephant, i have blown my turbo's and cant afford 2 so am going to replace them with 1 bigger one.)
Now im 100% by the book and have been for the last 2 years, still pay £1000 for to approx 5 times i use the car in a year.
On a side note harvard, its prob because your getting on a bit now and they think you wouldnt be able to handle the power
