Interviewed on regional London news. You had to select it from the red button on Sky.

Interviewed alongside Jason Barlow of Top Gear. Said that Public fed up of violent crime. Barlow agreed and said he hoped insurance hike would n't kill off cars as happened to GTI in 90's.

Insurance is high enough now as it is. I reckon most people on here are earning a decent whack in order to fund families, holidays, beer etc, and the youngsters probably forego non essentials like food and condoms.

I suspect that all insurance premiums rise as a result of this and not just for performance cars. The cynic in me says its a way to ease congestion, unfortunately its the less well off that will be first to move onto public transport.

Wifey ran in laughing saying "Pete looks absolutely knackered and its Robert Burns now"! She thought it was very funny.

Good of Pete to interupt his night shift serving the commuters of Essex

Well done Pete

I would like to think that the goverment will take notice..
But I doubt they will. The cynic in me says the goverment will see this as a means to an end to get performance cars off the roads of London. As Insurence will go sky high and the fact that owning such vehicles is becoming risky as well.
So I doubt we will see to much action from the boys in blue.

Lets hope I am wrong

Pete
