Re: Today’s want

I really don’t know. These cars are generally pretty tough. Suspension fault maybe. Engine light should be an MOT fail ? I’m going to have to ask.

Re: Today’s want

Re: FTAO EV owners - possible action required before end of March-24

I can't say I've ever tried it, but can you really re-tax your car when the existing tax hasn't run out ? I'd always rather assumed it needs to be SORNed or already expired or else "computer says no" because it doesn't need taxing. Yes - I followed the above process this morning. Mrs mik'...

Re: So I done a thing the weekend (very slow race content)

Yay ! Surprisingly difficult isn’t it ? Getting soundly thrashed by some old bloke in a shitty micra who’s been doing stuff like this for decades really opens your eyes to how bad your own driving is.

Not sure that’s appropriate on a private ambulance ? Unless they’ve previously determined the wishes of the deceased.

Interesting thing though, putting the Porsche on with Admiral, their default mileage of 10k was actually cheaper than if I put it down to 2k.

Last renewal for the main policy with Reis was at the end of July and came to: £401.46 Cayenne £370.90 Flying Spur £321.02 Vantage £236.25 Cooper S £137.92 Compact By total coincidence (honestly) the 360 arrived one day before the Reis renewal da...

Re: Your fleet running reports

With the excitement of maybe having the Porsche nice to drive again I figured I should insure & tax it and properly try it out. It’s been off the road for over two years. I had some trepidation due to all the stories of insurance going through the roof recently, but adding it to the admiral poli...
