Off Topic Panday 4: Live Free and Panday Harder!
Last year we couldn't do it as a club stand, but we were when we got there.
.
That's coz I asked Andrew Greenwood if I could bend his rules (again!!
) and he said yes!! He's got used to me asking, but he might say NO if I keep doing it.....
Long story short. Current insurance provider won't insure Panda. In order to insure Panda I need to take out a new policy with another insurance provider.
Panda insurance will be much cheaper with my NCB but obviously current insurance have that. Not sure how I'm going to overlap the two when I sell the Punto.
Why won't they insure the Panda?
OT though, Travelodge have cheap rooms the Sunday night for people traveling

I stayed at Worksop last time.
Because Asda Motor Insurance why.
They don't understand any question unless they have it written in their script :bang:
(Panda is modified, Asda don't do modified cars, well for under 25's)
Ah right, the disadvantages of cheap broker policies
I feel your pain.
Yep, had to go cheapest I could get my hands on because 1st year of driving costs a million quid nowadays.
Panda insurance with 1 years NCB is less than a quarter of my first year though

Who's that with out of interest?
Ok silly question Didge - what's modified? There weren't any mech changes iirc? If its just seats and wheels can't you swap the originals back (or at least something original to a Panda) until the current insurance runs out? Just a thought.
He'd struggle to put the original seats back as I've cut the runners out, plus the suspension has been modified with spax springs. Nice idea though
Uhmm. Some classic insurance people. Forgotten their name. I have it written down somewhere around here

:yeahthat: I like Charmania's mods, I'd rather just have to faff with the insurance than attempt to put it back to stock.
im with LV.. was the cheapest insurers i could find at 860odd quid. sadly they would not insure talon fully comp as he was "too old" ¬_¬;
oh well. its not like i cant fix talon myself if anything happens anyway.
still, my insurance went down almost by half with what i was paying on PiNKqCENTO. for my first year it was £1645!

old? younger than you... you.. cheeky little scamp, you.
I'm doing better and worse than you, 1st year insurance on the 1.4 Punto was £3400 TPFT.
Insurance for year no.2 on Panda with 1 year NCB £830 Fully Comp.
Worth a check - hadn't realised the suspension had been done, or the runners come to that!
Those insurance prices are crazy!!! To see why we can't get our heads round it, you have to realise that in 1988 my first car was a 9 year old 127 costing £575, with 3rd party fire & theft insurance at about £350. That seemed a fortune but maybe it wasn't so different once inflation has had its wicked way?
Come on who's going to admit their first insurance was pre decimal - I know you're out there!!!

Sorry: furthest I go back is 1982 -- TPFT on a 1967 1500cc Beetle (in about 50 shades of primer and beige... -- ah, those were't days...). So long ago, I can't remember what it cost: but it certainly wasn't a lot....
The first car I insured was a Fiat 126 (owned by my mum) for £155 TPF&T in 1983, but the first car I owned was a 1.2 Vauxhall Nova (bought new in Jan 1984) which cost me £250 fully comp. Current car costs about the same to insure
The most I ever paid for insurance was £1200 for a highly modified 1985 Vauxhall Nova 1.3 SR. It could outperform a standard Porsche 911 in the traffic light drag race (ran out of steam over 90MPH though).
