classic insurance - gone up loads this year

[stuartp]

has something happened?

- has car insurance bumped up massively for everyone because my renewal quote is 50 quid more than last year! (and everyone i ring is more than where i am now)

 

 

did i suddenly become a worse driver?

- nope, no accidents, no claims for anything (ever, in fact)

 

 

have i changed anything on the car?

- no, same as last year and the year before

 

 

have they decided this year to be really strict about modifications?

- never had any trouble in previous years, this year several won't even give me a quote

 

 

 

obviously no one enjoys sorting out insurance but this year it has been an extra massive pain (took me ages to sort out the kit car a few months back too)

 

 

sorry, just needed to rant a bit and maybe get some advice from you lot

 

 

this is the car in question...

it's because you have sideburns and long hair Stu

It is all because of your saarf london "badlands" postcode Stuart

this is true actually - russian bear on here couldn't even offer me a quote because of it (although 3 or 4 years back he could)

 

 

maybe i have lowered the tone of the area even more over the years?

dying the hair properly black tonight and will have a dress rehearsal

 

 

was studying the wembley show on youtube last night to pick up some moves / poses too

 

 

i'm possibly taking it a bit too seriously

 

 

 

in other news i have gone with performance direct for this years insurance - 80 quid less than footman james! only downside i can seeis no agreed value (unless it's garaged) but i don't really know how that bit works out anyway

[stuartp]

Insurance is a odd thing mine has gone down just under £100 from last year, rip off scum bags if you ask me.

[livewire7116]

my traders policy went from £700 upto £752 but when i told them i had better quote for under £700 they went £10 under just to beat it, another tip i was given is to wait til closer the end of the month when they are trying hard to meet target sales

my capri went up for no reason, im keeping it off the road until january when im 25 to hopefully get a better quote
