Default Car insurance does make you laugh!!

At the moment, I can't be arsed with my scooby - just fed up with it at the mo, so have been looking for a cheap run about and found a tidy N reg Escort 1.8 Ghia X for £300 - went on go compare and they want more to insure that on third party fire and theft cover than my STI with fully comp cover!!!

poxy lardy arsed opera poof

They wouldn't offer breakdown recovery for mine though because "it's too old"...

Getting insurance for your second car is an almighty nightmare and suddenly you get all sorts of rubbish coming up like... "here is the most wonderful all singing all dancing quote in the world for you..." "taking into account all the mods?" "ha! no sorry ma'm, we can't insure a second car with all those mods..." WTF?!

Had a similar problem when I got the Scoob - 2 cars - one no claims bonus!

Priviledge have come up best for me as they 'mirror' the NCB on your second car - and by doing this were by far the cheapest!

Oh, and you don't have to be posh to use priviledge!!

everyones insurance at the end of the day is gonna be different even if we all owned the same car because theres just so much involved eg...age,how long you been driving,car security,post code.i rang a plan as i was told there really cheap.i have 27yrs driving experience done driving for a living have full no claimes my cars alarmed to the hills and parked on a drive with my partners car parked across the drive and im a women and they said they wouldnt touch me lmao! they actually said they needed me to have experience in high peformance cars for atleast a year 1st so to ring back next year. lol.so i rang 1st central and no prob atall so thats who im insured with and pay £400

Had a little think today, and by the time I bought the car, paid the insurance etc etc I'll be worse off.

My brother works with me, so we take it in turns to drive each week so has cut my fuel bill by half

Just treated the Scoob to some gauges to cheer myself up
