This time with the AA.
£206...... A 10 minute phone call later it was down to £156.
It's amazing how many people can't be arsed to ring in for a better price. Usually wealthy people and bone idle scousers. :)

I have done that every year with the AA, who I have been with forever, after going on a comparison site and getting a quote I can wave in their face!
Funnily enough the difference between the comparison and the cheapest, but full cover policy with the AA, has become much smaller ;)
As you so it is amazing how many people cannot be bothered to do that.

Mine was always stuck around the £600 mark, when I used to pay for it.
SWMBO's picanto is about £300. I'm sure it would be less if she had a few fewer claims ::)
-
Mine has been around the £250 for years with LV had a couple of claims over the years & they were excellent so have stuck with them.
-
I think I paid around £150 for the Omega last year, with protected NCD etc.

Yep......mine has been around the £150-£160 mark for the last five or six years.
The Tata is not that much more at around the £200-£250 mark. Perhaps Indian cars are cheaper to insure. :)
-
Just paid mine last month £629, last year £609, with LV need to declare the kit and all the extra bits, maybe should have phoned them see if could get it lower ::)
-
Just renewed the Range Rover with LV mentioned that I had now retired & the fact that my mileage would now be reducing went from £330 to £260..😃

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.

That'll learn 'em ;D

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

Does he do any miles? I thought he just sat in in revving the 'nads off it.

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. ::)

The mighty Signum must be on the verge of spontaneously dissolving by now M'Lud? ??? :-\ :)

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. :)

Yes, BG.........would the 2.8T V6 be of any use? ;)
-
That'll drop straight in :D
Needs a proper gearbox to get proper power out of it though...
235 bhp from that doesn't really need forced induction :P

Mmm, not a bad idea, and it won't cost £500 per year road tax in my Vectra, only £385. Should kill a few more fluffy Pilar Bears

Just had a message from my Insurer for the Omega saying that due to the Virus and the fact that we were not driving as much they are sending me a € 30 gift voucher for some rip off on line merchant .
€ 560 they charged me this year for the Omega and it hasn't turned a 'kin wheel. No chance of searching for an alternative insurer as Insurance companies over here will not insure any car over 15 years old stating that after that age they are all being used and driven by fraudsters and scammers .....Only in backward greedy ireland ! The only way to maintain insurance is to stay with your current insurer as they are obliged to renew.
Whereas once it gets to 30 yo the classic insurance brigade are clambouring for your business at a fraction of the cost being paid just now.
My E24 has agreed value insurance of €18 K for € 220.
When I renewed the Omega's policy this year I told them that I had , correctly , calculated that I had had approx 88 annual car insurance policies in my lifetime for private , business , commercial and classic vehicles most if not all running concurrently and never a claim on any to which she replied " we only go back five years with NCD......" Bitch . >:(
