Sorry that's what I meant; standing water - sorry !!!

Having a problem with insurance at the moment;
Insurance company 1: sorry can't insure >12k without Thatcham immobiliser
Insurance company 2: sorry can't insure as a claim >5k in the last 3 years
Insurance company 3: "is it lowered innit", "its a kit car innit dat caterham" (specialist caterham policy )
Insurance company 4: of course we'll alleviate your wallet of 560 quid for 3k miles/annum

Haven't got the reg number yet eitehr; the owner is finding the envelope with the V5 in it as we speak to dig out the reg number, or I'm not picking it up on Sunday !

Phew - got the reg number and sorting out insurance now

Unfortunately Chris puts the policy up 25% cos of a hit and run on the Clio - how unfair is that ! Some idiot drives into your car, and drives off again leaving you not only with the bill, but increased premiums Having to increase the XS to cancel it out

Ho hum, nearly there !!!!!

Now just got to understand why the solicitor thinks they owe me 2k less than my calculations show, and the stress will be nearly over !!!
