Saying bye bye to my clio for a month...

[Russ.]

well insurance is up tomorow and it will cost £1060 to get covered. however if i wait a month till ive been driving 2 yrs its £792 inc mods. £260 is to good of a saving to miss out on for the sake of a month....so bye bye clio

im going to be so lost without my car for a month, but hoping to spend the money saved on petrol etc on some new upgraded shocks so im not lowered with just springs and a nice set of components maybe even a half decent IK and cold air feed.

Already treated myself to a 172 grill and silvervisions as well but not got round to posting pics yet hehe

why dont you ring them up and see if they will insure you for a month

 

[portland]

Make sure it's not on a public road, or you could be looking at a phat fine and some points.

its going in my garage so all is good

vinny, i enquired about that but they wanted a bloody fortune for it, nearly double than what ive been paying them, scamming gits...ive been with them 12months and only phoned once when i changed my car

im 20, no no claims (been 2nd driver as drove my mums car for 12months) and then cheapest quote i got last year was £2k to insure so had 2 go 2nd driver again. ive got alloys and lowered 60mm, nothing else other than a bit of ice atm. admiral are the ones who quoted me £792. no one else wanst to touch me with having mods.

 

[tommyboy]

I did pass plus aswell knocks a fair bit off. Its cheap but im lacking in speed so seems to much to me lol

 

[M1TCH]

have you bought the insurance already cos the price could change from now to then.

 

[tommyboy]

Damn 60mm looks good. Im so tempted now, Im going uni in september was thinking about selling the clio as it is, and using the money to buy a saxo vts and insure it for 900 but standard. In a bit of a dilemma as I love my mods on the clio, my zorst is so loud and pops like a b**ch lol

 

[Bradharding]

Try Elephant. I found them cheapest...

 

[steveV6]

My 1.2 16v has just cost me..........





..........wait for it...........






............£219 fully comp:approve:


Being an old fart has its advantages, even if you do have 6 points on ya license.

But if I was your age, I wouldn't have a 1.2..... ever. At 19 im putting up with the snail pace till the insurance tumbles.... :rasp:

 

[Bradharding]

Tommy, try elephant. Put your parents on as additional drivers and yo'll be suprised at the drop .

 

[Bradharding]

Sorry, I meant Russ

 

[tommyboy]

Tommy, try elephant. Put your parents on as additional drivers and yo'll be suprised at the drop .

Correct me if Im wrong but I thought admiral and elephant had same underwriters on insurance so the quotes are only a couple of quid different every time.

But Im gona try whacking the rents on..... :approve:

 

[Russ.]

my quote is including the rents lol both with 3 points each, but that made no difference in the premium. ive already tried elephant and they were more expensive which struck me as odd.

mitch - im buying insurance on 10th june as i want it to start 10th july...max you can buy it before cover starts is 1 calender month else id have bought it by now. ill be gutted if the price goes up tbh

 

[Bradharding]

Yeah they are the same group. But sometimes ytou can get suprisingly diferent quotes. Just try them both, and bell. After I stuck both my parents on with details my premium dropped about £200 and then another £100 when my mum phoned up! unbelievable! I guess it just epends on there no claims, convictions, and whether they like u or not, etc.

 

[tommyboy]

Im on the case ringing them up 2moro on my day off "amending my policy".

Lol, agreed, how has it come to this do you think??:S

Do i require a check up from the neck up?

 

[TomS]

Steve you really shouldn't have sold that Vee six thing to me you know
