So we have her to blame then
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

Try getting a quote for more than 30 days away though.pvr wrote: ↑Tue Sep 05, 2023 1:49 pm I saw the premium graph with a correlation between renewal point and the amount of weeks before you start looking at getting quotes. According to that, it is cheapest at 6 - 8 weeks before renewal. The closer you get, the more expensive.
The other thing is the job title thing
I called Admiral today and got my renewal down by nearly £300 pounds without any effort which has bought the price down to the same as last year. Probably due to removing Beth off a car as she is at Uni this year. Guess I can't complain too much now.

Don't think he is to be honest, there's plenty of early twenty somethings who think it's reasonable forking out 5k and over for insurance think the lad is actually lucky to get a quote.

At 20 it is highly unlikely they are earning enough to pay that premium, bank of mum and dad hence why they are not worried.
Abstinence is fine, in moderation.

Bought my first car at 19 which was a 1.2 Toyota Starlet think it cost £2400 which I thought was a fortune at the time and took out a bank loan my dream car at the time was either an Opel Manta GTE or a MK1 Fiesta XR2i but couldn't afford the insurance
Seems these days if kids pass their driving test their parents buy them a car as a reward

You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.
