I love this sort of thread... ;D...!

When I see some of the super-dooper, high-speed, turbo-charged/super-charged, methanol burning, gas guzzlers, I think to myself, "How much insurance are these blokes paying for all of this?", so I look in their profile for their age, (teen-agers?), and then I seriously wonder.... :o....!

Hi BMan... ;D...!
Are the L.A.P.D. suitably impressed when they pull you over for going a little bit too fast  on '101, "SIR", and notice the bottle of Nitrous Oxide in your boot and the gauge on your panel registering "BOOST"....?
LOL...LOL...LOL...!

Exactly. Unfortunately, when I buy insurance, I'm not paying for any accidents I might have, but all those that others have, while uninsured. It's an epidemic in this county. Can you imagine what my insurance would be if I had a more expensive car, or lived in a high-crime area? No. Neither can I!  :o

I enquired about Pass Plus, It made a difference...
...of about a fiver a year! >:(, utter bollocks so i didn't bother.
Out of CIS, Budget, Sainsburys, Tesco's and Direct Line, CIS was the cheapest. I only had a short list because i needed to drive to Cardiff the week later, and they were the only ones who could sort it out in that time. Or somthing like that
Charlie, I live in Shrewsbury. Its also a nice neibourhood, I haven't herd of any car crime all the 8 years ive lived in our estate.
I think it might be because my mum has been driving for 13 years, as a second driver, so no no-claims for her. I'm also 19, and therefore branded as an inexperienced hooligan who perfers big bore exhausts to MPG.

What do I drive?  A piece of crap 95 Buick Riviera with bad shocks that I would just as soon drive into Lake Michigan and turn it into a wreck dive, but the fish would laugh at me for having such a piece of crap car.

That's what I drive... ;D
