insurance is unreal lol

[turbojolt]

just looked at some quotes, ive moved a few houses down the road litterly 1/4 mile max

quote from old house (mx5) £943

quote from new house (mx5) £1368

how the fook does that work, £425 quid :eek: im on the same street lol

[novadave24]

why dont you just keep the insurance on the old house thats what i would do ;)

[Stuart]

Probably into a dodgeiererer postcode lol

Been getting quotes for this year and the 7 year old Passat which is worth all of ten pence costs £200 a year more to insure than an 18 month old £12K Abarth 500 lol

I have played the game and its cheaper to 'park on the street' than on the drive too.

i can see the theory behind that insurance wise, if its a new car thats only going to start with the key and its parked on the road they wont know where the key is, if its on your drive they know where to brake in and get the keys to have it away

and the real reason is more then likely the amount of people that reverse out of there drive with out looking properly

A grand for insurance ! :eek:

Do you have a license full of convictions ?

It's a hint from the insurance to get rid of the mx5

Jeepers!! I bought a house in Coventry last year, and previously had all my cars insured at my parents address in St. Albans, which is a nicer area etc, parked on the driveway. However, my insurance dropped when I re-insured them at my new address parking them ont he street...

Not sure how old you are, but I pay £200 FC for me and the Mrs on my MX5. But get raped £550 FC on my 1999 Golf GT TDI with 4yrs protected NCB.

You'd be in trouble if you had to claim though

This. My GT4 was quoted the other day as £240 in the garage, £230 on the drive and £220 on the street. Maybe if I park it in a different street I can get it under £200? lol

There can't be that many people who don't look before reversing, and surely your car is at greater risk of damage if its on the road. Doesn't explain why garage is more expensive again too.The only thing I could think of is if your garage fell down, or if tiles fell off your roof... or maybe the claim rate is higher for garaged cars?

There's a guy round here, parks his R8 out front of his house. I think its because it won't fit in the garage lol but still, balls to doing that in Bristol, surprised its still there tbh!

If you have another car insured on a standard car policy, look to insure your older jap cars on a classic policy. Footman James quoted me that £200.

[turbojolt]

dont have enough room for more cars unfortunately or i would buy another one in a heart beat got my work van, her fiesta, her corsa (fixed and gone soon hopefully) & soon i will have my nova back, getting out of hand now lol

[Alex J]

mx5 is a gay car, just roll round with no insurance, you get less of a fine that if you pay the stupid prices they charge these days lol

[turbojolt]

they do carrie a bit of a gay image, but there cheap rwd fun and we all know rwd is better then fwd lol

I've asked about this as my old VXR would have been an extra £70 to garage. They told me people damage their cars getting them in and out of the garage a lot. Makes sense in a round about way - chance of one of accidental damage / criminal damage is lower than two moves in/out of the garage each day.

I love mine, they're not quick but fun and nippy, and perfect in this current weather.

[turbojolt]

[chimp007_uk]

Yeh Mk1 1600 eunos. It sounds good lol decat and jap stainles system. As said, it's not quick just fun and nippy. It's on import lowering springs and is low.

i took the cone filter off mine felt so much faster and smoother to drive with the std air box on

[Nova-nation]

You lot are lucky!!! My nova 1.2 club to insure in £2500 on my own on a low risk area and a low risk job, with a few tricks it's £1000, but it's still a lot! And a nova is the cheapest car I've tried to insure.

My suggestion, slice your penis off and watch the price drop! lol lol lol lol

[Jack]

I find jap to be cheaper than vauxhalls tbh, my GT4 is peanuts to insure compared to the Nova or even the Cav. Thats a UK model though, JDM cars are usually silly money to insure
