Cat C insurance write off...
Hi, New to the forum, a quick question, today spoke to my insurance and agreed to a figure less the buy back of my car, was ridiculous to even suggest not economical to repair, as the repair company marked every little scratch and dent on the body not just the latest ding.

Michelin Energy Tyres
I was thinking about getting some of these as I do a lot of miles and the alleged fuel savings plus the extra durability would be very useful. However, reviews are very mixed and I can't find them any cheaper than £80 each which is too expensive even taking the fuel consumption and better durability into account. Anyone…
