........... insurance quote.

I'm up to £3300 for fully comp on a BMW 330d, even though I've been driving it for a year n a half and have no claims against me for over 10 years.

All because the road is populated with twats who cant drive and insist on crashing into me once a year or so....

£110110 for a 1275 Mini Cooper.
It was meant to be £110, but someone at Swinton typed the premium twice (must have been on the phone).

My highest 'genuine' quote was £25k for a TVR Griffith 500 when I was 21 - they said if I could afford the Griffith at my age, I could afford the insurance as well! I ended up getting a VW Polo!

When looking at quotes for a Boxster when I was 19 only one company would quote me, and that was over £14000.

Strange though that when Tesco opened a year later they only wanted £2.5K, If I'd had known that at the time I would have kept the car on order.
