Sought after classic Vauxhall due on 9th June.

The Mexican coupe due on 15th June.

I'm hoping I can insure the pair for  less than £500 if I shop around.

Less than the road tax on the classic Vauxhall ancient sigmund 

Roughly £730 for the Signum when taken in 12 monthly payments, and £600 due for second year road tax for the Bavarian.....If memory serves the first year was around £1400.

 To tax the large arsed insignia,, that runs on forklift fuel costs a staggering £20 English pounds per year, and it's paid in one go...none of this instalment rubbish

I'm jealous, my diesel astra is £30  :'(

A quick google suggests he owns 181 cars and 160 motorcycles.

Can't be short of a few bob.

He must have a big garage. 

It's quite big .....

I've often thought that Jay Leno would be a good bloke to have a pint with.

I've often thought that Jay Leno would be a good bloke to have a pint with.

I wonder what the topic of conversation would be

I know, pick a car make, but lets sit in one while we chat.

It's Lord Opti, so the topic would be 19 year old blondes with big tits!

Sounds like your Marina conquests.

Try Direct Line they said.

Not on comparison sites they said.

Often cheaper they said.


I can now see why Direct Line are not willing to compete with Confused and the Meerkats. They'd be so far down the page that nobody would ever find them.


Meerkats....... £402
Confused.......£411
Direct line......£1356...

I just renewed my Omega insurance
over half an hour on the phone to get my old insurer to match "like for like" comparison site covers .
I told them NOT to retain the payment card details for next year and don't bother auto renewing 
over £100 more they wanted than other insurers 
they matched the "like for like" comparison price in the end

[Mr Skrunts]

Zenith - Aviva Zero - Swinton are the top 3 for renewal.  £4 difference between them.  Aill in the £195 + range.

Anyone had any issues with any of them?

Swinton are a complete PITA for pestering you once they've got your phone number IME.

[Doctor Gollum]

Used Zenith to good effect have a work pension with Aviva, but not exactly relevant. Avoid Swinton like the plague unless you want to be inundated with spam... Oh wait...

[Mr Skrunts]

Went with Zenith.

£194.74 cant complain.  Added key cover for an extra £15, covers car/home/garage /business etc.

So thats me sorted for another 12 Months.

[Mr Skrunts]

This is fun.  No communication, no mention of price, got an email from last years insurance company saying my Insurance has just been renewed. 

Had this when I was in hospital a few years ago.  Admiral took £750 from my bank for what ended up being £200/250ish worth of Insurance.

I have allways stated to Inurance companies I do not want Auto Renewal.

Gonna be fun if they have taken money.

Roll on trying to get through to them on the phone

[Mr Skrunts]

Sorted.

They had taken £267 from my account regardless of me ticking a box not to take payments.

Tried to charge me a £25 cancelation fee.  but Zenith allthough set to start the policy from 19/5/24 started it when I paid on 18/5/24 and have just saved me £25 so cant complain.

Also they tried to compete with Zenith and the best they price managed was £257
