When I was younger I wished away my late teens yearning to be 21 so my Insurance would be cheaper..... it just went up
Then the magic number was 30 so I had cars on limited mileage policy's, all it did was increase,
Lo and behold my 30's passed me by with all manner of motoring Exotica, most of which I never even took a picture of, but I saved all the Stubbs off the log book !!!!
As my 40's loomed on the horizon I'd eventually worked out that the holy grail of car Insurance renewals were just another means to relieve me of my hard earned cash,
My 50's are staring me in the face, I'm not sure if I'm having a mid life crisis.... I started off driving a mini at 17, the only mod I made on that car was a centre exit cherry bomb exhaust, oh and I wrapped the alternator in an empty sunblest bread poly bag ! Those who had an original mini know why !
:grin:
Any way, back on track, I've parked the MINI purchase obvious reasons, that and the fact that I refuse to pay crazy prizes, the chap selling said it'll be worth £40k in another 30 years and he might just keep it..... I drew breath but managed to stop myself telling him he won't be here to prosper from his windfall.
In retrospect I should have asked him how much his Insurance was :floor:
Just so I know when I'm 84 how lucky I'll be !
The car has done between 12 miles and less than 2K a year between MOT's
It seems a fair bit at just over 3k but how long will I have to wait for another in this condition ??
