Saw an 11 plate diesel A1, sounded like a bag of bolts, just like an old London Black Cab, meanwhile my 20 year old Seat Ibiza is as sweet as a nut

Currently camping in North Wales. We have invested in inflatable furniture. It takes some getting used to - we are all like whisper in live and let die.

For some reason this has made me laugh for about five minutes.

I don't get out much these days.

I do live in an area where the only thing I've ever known to be nicked is my next door neighbours bike and even that was one he'd built out of 3 old bikes

I'll give them a buzz tomorrow and see what they can do. the Exo is insured by Footman James so I'll try them too. The Civic is due it's renewal too and the Exo needs taxed, it's going to be an expensive month

If the quote is reasonable I tend to stay with them if only because I can't be arsed to answer 100 questions to get another quote 

I have had insurance try and take the piss in the past hoping I won't notice so do check

It's a shit group anyway, just endless "what is this bike" as if it matters. Admittedly the retro bike subreddit I admin is the same but with added "how much is it worth".
