What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[LightBulbFun]

Just realised a Skoda Favorit would be a great car to have on a 3K a year classic insurance policy

Motability car goes back on the 2nd Jan.

But I now have a bit of paper declaring no accident claims in the last 9 years.

Which is not the same as 9 years NCB, but some will accept it. 

We shall see.

 

I've had similar off classic policies. Most places wouldn't give me NCD for it the first year, but they gave me a discount equal to that many years NCD...

 

It's all smoke n mirrors.

Just got a quote from the Meercat £320 for the 75 on a standard policy, with 9 years NCB.

At present around £220 with Peter Best on Classic. But no other car to drive now, and need more than 3000 miles.

I've just got back from a long walk on the moors,

You should know by now to stick to the roads.

Is it worth ringing Peter Best and explaining the situation to see if there is anything they can do?

Went down the M6 today to pick my Panasports up.

 

A massive stretch of the smart motorway works are almost done and the speed limit has been raised to 60 accordingly. Takes a fair bit of time off the slog down to the Midlands - which I end up doing a lot for some reason these days.

Went to B&Q a couple of days ago, as I was driving out of the car park I spied a minty, mint Vauxhall Viva. Lovely it was, white, on a G plate and had a young, possibly early 20's couple sat in the front nomming away on KFC. Got a big smile off both of them as I gave a thumbs up whilst driving past.

 

Excellent.

Have you tried quotes with zero NCB? I've found it's only made 50-80 quid difference tops between zero NCB and nine years NCB. (For a 32 yr old living in Bristol)

For a moment I thought that was a tattoo.....

Starcrash     ( 1979 ) ...  why have I never seen this film ?

Saw a van today with the registration ****KKK. Obviously means nothing in Spanish. But I could not personally drive a vehicle with this registration to other European countries without getting some strange looks.

[Remspoor]

I cannot find the joke thread. has that too got culled?

I was going to add this to that one.

Tried that at the start a couple of years ago, was around a grand.

Will ring Peter Best, my policys up for renewal towards the end of the month and I'm in Spain 10 days so I don't really need a car at the moment.

Have thought of buying and insuring something else and leave the 75 on classic.

Should have bought the Multipla.

I received a letter today that the post office had not date stamped, therefore the stamps were unblemished.

 

Cue holding the letter over the boiling kettle to retrieve and reuse the stamps, $2 saved.

 

I am a tight git.

Received a heap of forms from the Swedish pension service to claim pension from the time I lived there.

Only five years since I originally asked the UK pension service to see to it, as they were supposed to.

 

Bit of a struggle trying to compose a cover letter in Swedish, 40 years after leaving there (under protest).
