i know what you mean about insurance company on speed dial ;D i think i had my own filling cabinet at 1 point. ive gone to pick my wife up from shopping before and shes stared blankly across the carpark as she couldnt remember what car i had !
would love something quick again but with kids and working a fair distance from home ive had to calm down a bit now to save the pennys , i paid £167 a MTH insurance at 19 for a v70 t5 ex police car was permanantly skint but loved it :y
