  • The concept of getting a car with a smaller engine is ridiculous!

    Two years ago I was driving a 4litre engine and was paying 400 a month

    Oh well

    Earlier this year I was driving a 4.2 V8 and paying £400 a year. It went down at renewal as well.

    Maybe the answer is to move to a cheaper area ;)

  • so the outcome of this sorry tale is, in my case ..to become a (fake)lesbian :eek:(mother will be pleased!!:mad:) so what i would like to know is.....
    WHY ARE SINGLE PEOPLE SO DISCRIMINATED AGAINST WITH CAR INSURANCE ??

    I didn't think this would work, but having just tried all combinations of housemate, mum and dad with the real relationships, I tried my housemate as my 'partner'. Result?

    Reduction of £60 on my cheapest quote! Not sure how my housemate (or her boyfriend) will feel about our new 'relationship' but if it saves me money then fesbianism it is! :beer:

    The most influencing factor on your premium is your postcode (where the car is kept).
    Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.
