Who's your daughter's car insured with (and are they cheap)? TIA -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My bike 1996 Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr M'boy's bike 2003 Honda NSR125R Spare Bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X BOTAFOT #140 (KotL 2005), DIAABTCOD #26, BOMB#18 (slow)
Back in the day, most people I knew swore by Hyperformance, who seem to have a web site at http://www.youngerdriver.com/ Probably worth a look.
£1800 to £2000 for my lad to insure a Clio TPF&T. Eek. -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My bike 1996 Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr M'boy's bike 2003 Honda NSR125R Spare Bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X BOTAFOT #140 (KotL 2005), DIAABTCOD #26, BOMB#18 (slow)
£1700 on the Clio TPF&T -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My bike 1996 Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr M'boy's bike 2003 Honda NSR125R Spare Bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X BOTAFOT #140 (KotL 2005), DIAABTCOD #26, BOMB#18 (slow)
Bear says... Caz's was the hot hatch version. This was 4/5 years ago and insurance premiums were sky high for her. She wrote that one off and her insurance went sky high afterwards.
Lozzo says... Bad form etc: That is really badly written. I really must read my posts properly before hitting send.
On Tue, 15 Mar 2005 21:13:30 -0000 in uk.rec.motorcycles, Bear says: [teenage car insurance] Emily's ex-BF was quoted £1800 odd on a slightly better than cooking motor, halved after pass plus, still £900 is more than I would pay. Emily at 17 is paying £650 for a 1.1 Fiesta and Melissa at 20 is £450 for a 1.0 Micra. OTH my Micra costs me £108 IIRC with 3 named drivers.
Bear says... At 18 I had a Mk1 Mini Cooper 1071S that I baulked at paying 90 quid a year to insure. The Viva HB that preceded it had cost me 65 quid a year, the Morris Minor Traveller before that was a fiver less.
Rope says... I had similar happen. One of my neighbours offered me his E-type 3.8 FHC for 350 quid. I couldn't afford the 250 quid to insure it. I bought the HB Viva instead.
1.2 Litre believe it or not -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My bike 1996 Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr M'boy's bike 2003 Honda NSR125R Spare Bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X BOTAFOT #140 (KotL 2005), DIAABTCOD #26, BOMB#18 (slow)
Yeah, I heard that too, but having tried a few it seems to load the price up by about a third. -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My bike 1996 Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr M'boy's bike 2003 Honda NSR125R Spare Bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X BOTAFOT #140 (KotL 2005), DIAABTCOD #26, BOMB#18 (slow)
Indeed it is. Luckily my insurance doesn't expire until May, so i've added the car and the boy to my policy until then. Tonight marked another milestone too, I've just been out for a drive with him (seems only yesterday he being born). -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My bike 1996 Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr M'boy's bike 2003 Honda NSR125R Spare Bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X BOTAFOT #140 (KotL 2005), DIAABTCOD #26, BOMB#18 (slow)
Heh, those were given to him gratis by some bloke where he works. As if anyone would pay for them. -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My bike 1996 Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr M'boy's bike 2003 Honda NSR125R Spare Bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X BOTAFOT #140 (KotL 2005), DIAABTCOD #26, BOMB#18 (slow)
