£214.20
« on: 22 October 2020, 13:57:19 »

....to insure the Indian for another year. :y......this time with the AA.

A bigger excess would have brought it down to a paltry £183.

When I was young and dumb I had no insurance for years. The cops would have to catch me first. ::)

Now I'm old and sensible.....but still dumb. :)

One of the few advantages of getting old is cheap insurance. I also didnt bother with stuff such as insurance or even a licence when riding bikes in my teens in the 70,s. It was seen as a sign of weakness, and probably meant you were gay.  ::) ;D
Then in 79 at the end of my teens I paid £636 for third party insurance for a car. That was a lot of money then.  ::)
Tried to stay reasonably legal since then. although its only in the last decade Ive started to accept that speed limit signs might be just more than pointless road furniture.  :)

According to the online inflation calculator £636 in 1979 is £2938 in 2020. A lot of money.

I used the old 'Tax in post' approach for many years.

Must have saved me a fortune. ::)

Spooky, I was talking to an old friend yesterday for the first time in a few years. In our drinking days, before breathalyser or drink drive laws :-[, he had a 1930's Ford Y type, and as long as I knocked around with him, he had a suitably cut Guinness label in the tax disc holder, which we had a chuckle about yesterday. He told me that he was once stopped by a copper looking for some offender or other, and peered at the 'tax' label, my friend saying to his pax: 'This is going to be interesting!' The copper then waved him on. Short of time and couldn't be bothered I guess. ;D ;D ;D

I repeat my previous quote ;D


I too am full on gay, as I'm a reformed character after paying my £90 for 4hrs of being patronised. Coffee was an extra £2.  Worth every penny, as clearly doing 80mph on an empty, downhill dual carriageway was dreadfully reckless and irresponsible, and I should instead be staring at the speedo for maximum safety.

back in the mid 1960,s i owned an austin a35 . at that time i was a merchant seaman & was on my way to Hull to join a ship called the Bassano that was going down to Walvis Bay ( northwest South Africa, now Namibia ) from there we bunkered at Cape Town then onto Bombay. so i expected to be away from the UK for a few months. the ship sailed from Hull on a Sunday evening but i actually had signed on for the trip on Friday afternoon taking with me stuff i needed, among my stuff was my drivers docs. when i drove to Hull i had with me my wife & a mate of my dads whom was going to have use of the car whist i was away. i was about two miles out of York  when i was pulled up by a panda car. i new the copper he happened to be at the same school as me. anyway after trying to tell him that i would be away for a while he still gave me a 5 day producer. in my absence i was taken to Selby magistrates charge with failing to produce & got fined £550. the copper incidentally was because of his arrest rate was transferred to the cid but was sacked from the force for adding & lying , altering his book to get people done.

Hanging is too good for you and clearly an example had to be made. :)
