Our Poor Insurance Premiums
« on: 09 February 2011, 10:30:56 »
Due to the winters bad weather insurance claims have lept to £1.4 biillion for all insurance liabilities.

In respect of motor insurance 250,000 vehicles were affected by claims totalling £530 million! :'( :'(

Just renewed the policy on our VW Caddy van on a 'private use only' basis.
Comprehensive with unlimited mileage, both of us as named drivers with 9 years NCB from Aviva for 383 quid all in. In reality, no increase on last year's premium for us, thankfully.

Would've been a whopping £639 for the exact same Aviva policy with Adrian Flux! >:(

Bad weather :-?
More like another opportunity to screw us IMO!

My insurance aint too bad at the moment, I dont even pay £500 for my 2.2 fully comp and living in Essex.

I was looking at buying a R129 SL600 V12 just before christmas and I was surprised how cheap I could get insured on one. Then again on the other hand I cant insure an E46 M3 for less then £2000!

Go for it! A mate of mine had an AMG one. What a beast. :D

I guess they figure anyone who's ever sat in one knows better than to take it out in the snow. ;D

My uncle has had a Carllson tuned one for about 10 years now, its a beast 440 bhp with 18" Carllson split rims!


In the real world I will more then likely end up with a 320  ;D

They don't like cornering on 3 wheels, apparently. He's had the roll bar deploy a couple of times. :o Then again, he's a hooligan. His other car is a drag racing westfield that does a 1/4 mile in the 9's.

LOL, my mate did that in his E36 323. They went right through the rear window of his newly replaced roof!  :y
