My 18th Birthday Present

that rapid bonus thing is bollox really. why pay for only 9 months cover to get 1 more year of no-claims 3 months earlier than you would anyway, when you could get a 12-month premium for not much more than the 9 month one? if they quote you for 9 months, always ask them what it would be for 12 months too, so you can compare their offer with others.

i did my first 2 years on my mums insurance, 1st year was £1400, 2nd year was £1100 (bith on a Rover Metro 1.3 Sport), then when i got the Escort i went on my own policy, and it was about £1050, then the following year it was £877, and now just a few weeks ago got it down to £568, and have 3 years no-claims bonus on my name so far.

all should be better next birthday though, when i turn 25 (my policy starts/expires on my b'day).

Norwich Union had a renewal quote of £692, so i ended us saving £130 on them by ringing around. i rung about 35 compannies. it comes down a lot too year-to-year in the first few years since you pass, as long as you don't crash.

plus the modifications on my car hinder me a bit, as many say they won't quote due to me being under 25, and those that do quote, come out with outrageous figures like £6000.

but that Pass Plus thing is worth doing, its only valid for 1 year from the dat eyou passed though, so do it quick.

an advanced driver course is also worth doing to bring your premiums down.

£160 for 12 months. :D
£15 12 months tax. :D
£0 per week for petrol (rounded down). :D

Get a bike. If you survive the winter (obviously not much of a concern down under), you're laughing. I'm not even a biker - I'm a car guy who has a bike. The only reason I've considered getting a car is the winter.

I don't think you can carry a guitar and amps on a bike though

I'd die on a bike, HARD. It'd be horrible, guts everywhere. I'll have me a nice steel safety net thankyou sir :p

So im a happy bunny. Plus, im getting my insurance on my moms one so that'll bring the price down

mums doing all the insurance hunting for me

Maybe they got scared by you, you giant freak with the gay leg

I'm with AAMI, it was about 1k a year for me, comprehensive.

That was like 30% off tho cos I've been in dad's name ever since I was 16 so I have a 3 year clean record with them, it goes down 10% more a year till a maximum of 60% off, which is coooool.

850 dollars?! That's like 300 quid isnt it?! @#$%&

What I need to do is find an area of Aus that all the ladies will be like "ooo (swoon) a british accent!" but cos EVERYONE goes to aus on gap years, I need to find somewhere not obvious. But not backward either - I went to uni in Wales for Christsakes, I've seen enough of that :/

i was talking to this scottish guy who cuts my hair today and he was saying how now days the accent does nothing cos every 2nd bastard has one.

damn that Australian idiot!

In that case, its gonna have to be the USA for me then :p


I figure I need to go to somewhere not too cosmopolitan, maybe San Diego. Or something. Maybe the midwest ( (8) the midwest farmers daughters, yeah they make me feel alright (8) ).

lol qwerty

try NZ or canada, they're the 2 countries that are always ignored cos they've got a better country right next to them

CANADA?!

NO! NO! NO! I hate canadians. Tey have wierd split heads. Maybe that's just southpark. Oh and also they say "ooot" instead of "out" (owt) - like scots do. Which is weird.

Also NZ - cool accent. But uber small man syndrome from every NZlander I've met. All quite angry. And dislike australians too. I can see why
