PS Mark (Johno), will you have the new car with you tonight?







Ummmm getting a bit cryptic for me this one, i'll stake my money on a tidy 4.3BV or 500 griff, i'm sure johno will post the details soon


Paul did you not have no claims protection? if not then cash in hand so to speak is probably the only way of preserving the NCB then

He's being very coy - I reckon he's got a Cerbera (and a big loan)

I have one of the last Griffith's, 5/100 in fact.

Balck with a black interior with Ally dash. I will post some piccies when I have them and tell the story of the 1200+ miles in the first 3 days of ownership.

Either of you pair going to be at VW ?

I’ll bet you £4000 I can guess what johno's car is, should just about take care of the damage on mine!

And no protection on my NCD, they wouldn’t do it till I was 25, still if they get all there loses paid for by the neighbour then surely my bonus should be reinstated?

Most insurers will say its a No Claim Bonus, not a No Blame Bonus.
Hope I'm wrong though. Even if you did have protection, they will just put up the premium at renewal time before they deduct the discount.
Sorry, forgot to take my anti-cynicism pill this morning.

Paul.

Bloody Hell!!

I'd better buy you a pint tonight, you won't be able to afford your own.
So when do you move into the tent in Paul's garden?

Paul.
(Only slightly jealous)
PS When do I get a ride?

Some good news, the insurance company has said if he pays up even after I’ve made the claim they will reinstate my no claims, also Webb’s have said they should have a door a little quicker than first expected 3 weeks, fingers crossed could have my car back soon than first expected!

To make matters worse the neighbour is uninsured, so know if he is deemed unable to pay I’ll lose all my NCD.



Sorry to hear the news, the b@ast@rd, aren't you covered with protected no claims bonus if you are then you can claim upto 3 times without losind you NCD, anyway claim off your insurance it might go up next year but least your having the car repaired prpoerly.

No, they won’t protect my NCD until I am 25.
