Thanks, I wasn't sure having never done it before.

Will get on the phone to the insurance 👍

It occurs to me that I'm now more of a VAG fan (Bentley + 2x Porsche) than a BMW guy (Compact + MINI), and even Ford is now on a par with BMW here (Galaxie + Aston).

I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Only one way to soothe your concerns: buy a BMW era RR (the proper RR, not the upstart JLR ones). That'll bring balance to the force.

But you're thinking about it... @Gavster is out of the family car game, but is your Bentley a match for your dad's Maserati or would you need the car that "that takes the best there is, and make it better"?

In a game of Top Trumps the Bentley is longer, heavier, has a larger engine with more cylinders, is more powerful, and has a higher top speed. I'm not even sure if the Rolls would beat it by very much ?

It is all about the brand! You're right about the numbers game.

Given how badly aligned they are, I hope he didn't pay too much, though ;)

I'm building up to forking out on new tyres for the Spur. 275/40/20. I think the best deal I've found is from Tyresonthedrive, a set of Eagle F1 3 SUV for £700. That's actually less than buying from Camskill, but they obviously come here and fit them for me.

Black circles don't seem as competitive as they used to be. Anyone else I need to look at ?

I think someone recommended Asda Tyres?

Galaxy needs new summer tyres, but until the engine issue is sorted, I'm holding off.

Merityre in Hook have always given me a decent price and service. A chap called Barry is the owner there, into his bike track days.
Or a CostCo deal on Michelins to save £100?

Problem is it looks like you work for OVO Energy!
How about not having a sig at all?
