Mods please feel free to push my bath chair post into the right direction. But I've just renewed my insurance with Saga for £105 for the year. "Live long and prosper."

And noodles, down here we get loads of them in coaches (saga louts), no manners' don't need them 'cos they are old enough to demand they are in the front of the queue. they arrive just after the school holidays. I love winding them up, normally as they complain about the rain, I tell them it's been fantastic for the past sis weeks.

I'm paying approx £110 for mine with Aviva.

When I bought the S I ditched my Mondeo insurance with General Accident and went with an Aviva multi-car policy for the Mondeo & S, which cost me about £110 more than previous policy. I hadn't realised that you need two lots of NCB if you buy a second car (I thought I was one who'd have an accident!), anyway the nice folks at Aviva gave me an introductory 9 years NCB on the S. I included business usage cover as well.

General Accident wanted silly money (about £800) to add the S to my existing policy - strange as they are the 'cheap' online arm of Aviva!

Plus I'm another old git!

Took early retirement, and as I'd had company cars it took some of my finest negotiation skills to persuade insurance companies that I was actually an experienced driver and a reasonable risk.

Admiral have come up with a bid of £516 for my everyday 2.0TDi Golf and the S2000. I'll go with that for next year, given the fact that the S2000 has been "modified" with an Ohlins suspension kit, then do a bit more negotiation when renewal time comes around again.
