Just got my insurance renewed for £590!

by jimxms, 16-03-2019, 08:35 AM

So I get a renewal letter through in the post this morning saying that this year will be a whopping £1500! Fnark that I thought, so I hit up the price comparison sites and started tweaking my details.

- Putting policy in Mrs name with me as main driver and owner slashes the quote almost in half straight away (well £890).

- Changing her job title from housewife to accountant (she is my company accountant - but from home) knocks a further £50 off.

- Remembering that named drivers on last years policy also earn NCB, and the Mrs was a named driver knocks it down £100 with 1yrears NCB quoted for her.

- Saying that the car is parked in residential parking (rather than garage), Pow another £40 off. I don't mind leaving it out in the residential area a bit more often if that's the case. Most of the area is undercover anyway.

- Going for a 10 month ncb accelerator rather than standard 12 month drops it another £100. Technically though it makes the policy £2 more expensive per month, but if i can get through the next 10 months with no accidents the Mrs will have 2 years NCB and I'll have a year NCB so the renewal may be cheaper.

Fast and furious five lexus lfa

by Dave, 15-03-2019, 04:32 AM

Hi,

To all those like me that grew up watching this series of films, dreamin one day of being just like vin diesel. I went to see the latest installment last night. Its a good film that gets better as the film gets on. Its a little bit slow going at first but the end sequence is very entertaining however impossible it would be to do what they do in real life.

Anyways ill get to my point, han died in tokyo drift and he is back for this film too. However if i am right tokyo drift took place in about 2006.2007. at the end of this film he is seen riding off into the sunset in a lexus lfa. not exactly a huge deal but we all know the lfa was not realised till what about early 2010? late 2009? wonder if they even took that into account or just thought **** it no one will care.

Help me decide

by Ally, 14-03-2019, 07:42 AM

Folks, I reckon i'll be needing some new tyres pretty soon so that is always a good excuse to do something with the wheels. I reckon i've got 3 options, but i need some help make a decision. It's an is200 btw.

Option 1 - keep on my original 17'' 5 spokes which i've powdercoated in gloss black. Was going to get some 5mm spacers to push them out a bit.

Option 2 - dig out the set of OZ ultraleggeras that i've had in the shed for the last 2.5 years. They are 17 x 8 ET40, and i took them off as the stance looked rubbish with them on due to the cheapo stretched tyres(215/45/17) that were on them. Since i've taken them off, the car has been lowered an extra 15mm, and i reckon if i get tyres that are 225/45/17 it could look better?

Option 3 - get some 18s. Been looking at some Ultralite GTII in gunmetal with a polished lip. Or i like the RX8 wheels that Stav has on his. I'll need to sell the OZs to get money for these, and to make some room in the shed!!

Any comments welcome.

Thanks

Ally :wink:
