How Much!! Are you living in the car theft capital of the world?

Well low and behold, got a reply back from the insurers regarding the lower quote of £570, and they revised their quote to £602.25, includes £1,000 ice cover. and all the mods, Thinks I might just go for that, only problem not protected and have 10 yrs no claims. Might just go 3rd party

, but I am insuring the car for 10k

Yep, always pays to haggle, goes to show how much they are prepared to rip you off...presonally I think they should all go to jail...then again I might just have a career change and become an insurance broker

Could'nt think of a better car to learn to drive in

True but she hasn't quite got the hang of controlling a barge in a car park yet. Not doing the blood pressure any good.

Still roll on when she passes her test - I can give her my 2.5 manual and treat myself to a 3.2 MV6......

Thats the benefits you see, why have 1 when you can have two, drive that she'll be OK driving any large barge cars......do u think she'll pass, she has'nt prnaged it yet has she

jonathanh · « **Reply #18 on:** 18 November 2006, 21:05:47 »

I see your point - two barges to spend vast amounts of money and time to keep on the road............

Not ready for the test yet but not got too far to go I think.

Having said that she did turn to me and say today that it wasn't as good as a Volvo. Sent me into a bit of a sulk and made we wonder whether I should change her for another model (present squeeze that is not the meega).

The other problem I have is that at 4ft 12 it is impossible for her to wash the car properly. I guess one of those car wash mops on a long handle will do for christmas.....

You could always lower the supension...still be cheaper than a volvo...is this the first test?

jonathanh · « **Reply #20 on:** 18 November 2006, 21:16:49 »

lower the suspension? I think I'd need to take the wheels off and then give her a set of steps.............

Yep first test and we have not found an instructor to knock the rough edges off yet. when we do I think it will be quite a difference pootling around in a 1litre corsa to the meega unless I can find and instrutor that has seen the light and doesn't mind the fuel bills.
