Project Elite, having sucusfully rebult the top end, and having gained an MOT, is now finished!
As I originally said, if the rebuild was a sucess (which it was) I would keep the car for myself - that is still the plan.
I just called Direct Line, I have arranged insurance from Thursday - when I will also Tax it. So from Thursday onwards - I've got a new car ;D
Can't wait, I'm thrilled :)

Insurance went from £70/month to £92/month

Both the Omegas cost me around £500 a year, FC. And yes, I have insured the tractor for a year...

Good news James that it all went well and your happy with it......tho that does sound excessive on insurance.....unless you've loads of points ::)
You should be getting good deals with the cars you have.....unless you've flogged em all :-/
Ive just got A Plan (taxi insurance) to drop my veccyC from £1400 to £950 or loose my business.
And remember im only paying these high rates coz insurance comps hate taxi drivers!

Yeah, but your rustbucket Senator is on TPFT...

Without my breakdown cover, it would cost me £20 a month less
I can't be arsed to change provider at the minute though.. there are only three months to run on my policy... and then I have 4 years no claims.
So I'm going to get stung for another three months... and then I will shop around for a better deal! The thing that's got me a bit, is that I had a "fault" accident a couple of years ago :(
But for the sake of three months, I'll let them sting me, get my NCD, and then shop around!
I have a squeaky clean licence!

£20 a month for breakdown cover!
I pay 40 quid a year!

James.... why do you of all people want breakdown cover???
As for £20 a MONTH?? :o

I do a lot of driving, often on motorway in the dead of night - sometimes really remote. It's just nice to know that if I break down, and don't have any tools / spares etc with me, I can get towed home, without having to pay an arm and a leg!!
£20/month is steep.. but I do get european cover with that!
-
Its still 4 times more than you need to be paying.......even with europeon cover...
At the end of the day, if you can change a wheel yourself....the most you need is recovery.....coz these recovery guys cant do bog all with a modern car at the side of the road any more...
-
James... so your paying £240 for breakdown cover per year??? ...ok so it includes euroland but.....
As DTM mentioned breakdown cover is £40 a year (AA or RAC)
For my trip to Europe I am taking out a years European breakdown cover (cheaper than single trip) for the Senator... cost? £88 :y
So thats less than half what your paying at the moment!

Marks right, they want to take you home rather than fix the car because theres more money in recovering the vehicle.
