Insurance on my V70 is due at beginning of July had notification from present insurer[Hasting Direct]and they quoted  £250 this year,up from £188 last year ??? Went on comparison site and got it for £180[I've got 4yrs NCD on the V70]so I took that and phoned Hastings to tell them to cancel as of renewal date.Of course they went through all the faff of seeing if they could do any better and came up with a figure of £195,when I still turned that down[why couldn't they have come up with that figure in the first place?]she had "A word with her team leader" and came back with a figure of £179! On principal that they tried it on in the first place and for the sake of a quid I still told them to cancel it.

Had the annual (or 15 monthly recently) debate with the breakdown company, under a ton for 15 months for 2 people on a joint membership, including towing anywhere.

Never use the breakdown service, so I'm probably a grand down over the last 15 years, but with Mrs TB batting up and down the M40 everyday, and me being away a fair bit, its that piece of mind.

Cost nearly £700 to get recovered from Preston to home following a bump as it was the only way to get me and the car home that night. That's the financial reality of a £3 per mile relay at short notice.

Even if the insurers had collected the car, it would have gone to the nearest compound and i would have be walking home.

Rumour has it that the reason that Lord Opti's insurance is so cheap is that not only is he a retired gentleman like yourself Mick, but he is insured for Social Pleasure only and with limited mileage, so he can poodle round locally visiting his mistresses.  :y

I was gonna say I'd never rev my car over 3000 when parked up. But the I remembered the MOT tester will rev it to over 4000 to try and make it smoke.  :(

Got to save a little bit of cash where you can, us poor pensioners & when you have mistresses to entertain as well it's not easy you know..😀

About 5000 miles in the Indian and about 15000 in the mighty Signum. :)

Petrol consumption overall about 17 MPG, and roughly 26 MPG in the classic and highly sought after Vauxhall. ::)

Makes perfect sense to me. Drive around in an elderly Vauxhall while the car you paid tens of thousands of pounds for sits, depreciating, on the drive.  :)
