That's cheap. I'm with admiral. Hopefully mine will come down then. On my renewal I'll be 29, will have been driving for 10 years and have 5 years ncb. No points. FC seems to be only marginally more expensive than TPFT

Cheaper in my case! Strange

£659.59

Now I'm pleased with that. However bear with me.
This is how I cannot understand their pricing

I tried a few other vehicles.

1999 1.0 corsa 12v £450!!!!  :-?

1994 toyota supra twin turbo import £747

Ferarri f50 £1568

1994 Impreza WRX wagon import (what i used to have) £2400


See my point now?

Where do they pluck their prices from??!!!

I've just got a renewal for my Omega. 1995 3.0 Elite manual saloon, with all modifications declared (a lot of them)

5 years licence, 1 years no claims, i'm 22 and it was fully comp with £500 excess.

Who would like to hazard a guess?

My readout usually shows an average of around 24mpg running on LPG (probably not that accurate).
Went to welsh wales last December and averaged approx. 31mpg (on LPG) which I thought was superb.
Omegas are pretty economical cars for their size if used for motorway work,but how many of us spend most of our time on motorways ?

If I do end up on the motorway its usually at uneconomical speeds.

An e46 330ci convertible tried it on with me for a series of traffic light dashes. He didn't get in front which pleased me

« on: 02 August 2011, 10:58:22 »

A relative had a 2.5td omega for 14 years from new. I loved it as a child. she did 280000 miles in it (honestly) Always serviced correctly and never went wrong or broke down once. Obviously things wore out as you'd expect.

« on: 02 August 2011, 12:53:57 »

I know you can drive with no MOT if you are actually taking it for MOT and it has to be your nearest station. Not sure on the tax bit though.
