LOL, I guess that would cause them to view me in an unfavourable light :) Will enquire with Kwikfit and see how much they reckon, I can't see why it should be so high though - admittedly, I do have a couple of SP30's but when you do 36k+ per year it's statistically much more likely you'll get done, particularly in the wilds of Staffordshire where the crime level must be so low that they can afford to have coppers in vans catching naughty motorists all day long :) Cheers Hellraiser..........> |

If I insure the 155 for 10k miles / year, I can get it for around £300 full comp. Telling the truth about my 20k miles / year, it jumps up to £520. -- Steve H 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' http://www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - MZ ETZ300 VW Golf GL Cabrio - Alfa 75 TS - Alfa 155 TS Lusso - COSOC KOTL BoTAFOT #87 - BoTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |

Ah yes, but that's in my current company car - I'm (hopefully) changing jobs soon, and will just be travelling to and from the office, so around 8k miles per year. Still bloody expensive though - you'd have thought the more miles you did, the cheaper it would be as you'd be more experienced behind the wheel :( Anyway Steve, how old are you, how much NCD and who do you insure with if you don't mind me asking?
