The new Beany is currently having a bit of a mental health crisis - hence why putting things on hold, rather than trying to deal with things while not making good decisions is a more conservative, sensible option.
There's no intention for the old Beany to stick around for too long, he gets on my fucking tits.

Re: Car insurance
The coping strategies are mostly 'dealing with shit'
Unfortunately I've woken up this morning with a fever so that's not helping with the dealing with things, or my mood

Re: Car insurance
Just to go back to the old beany/new beany, I have just cleared out a lot of big cardboard bits that I've not got shot of, because Old Beany. Doing that has given me a thumping, splitting headache.

When you mentioned 'New Beany' I thought meant a child! I wondered if I'd been living under a rock and you'd got a secret child or stolen one.

I might stretch to a cat one day, they're pretty self reliant.

Re: Car insurance
£200 increase this year on the clapped out Nissan Navara we gave to my father in law, so time to shop around for that one too I guess. Just checked and that's gone from £238 to £438 with LV.

Re: Car insurance
Jobbo’s post reminded me to try multicar insurance - added the Defender to my Aviva Mito policy last night for £500 (was £450 last year but renewal wanted £700). It’s ok I guess.
I think the whole Land Rover name is tainted when it comes to insurance

How about not having a sig at all?

Its up on the croft so we'll be using it there soon enough and it still needs to go on the road occasionally.Rich B wrote: Fri Jun 21, 2024 1:37 pmwhy are you insuring a car you've given to your father in law?Ascender wrote: Fri Jun 21, 2024 10:14 am £200 increase this year on the clapped out Nissan Navara we gave to my father in law, so time to shop around for that one too I guess.

Because he’s nice? Nice enough to insure a ford focus for me? *flutters eyelashes*
Re: Car insurance
Just put the cover in place for the MX5. £189.40 as an additional car, with no NCD applied to it. Wonder how much an Emira/992/A110 would have cost?
Re: Car insurance
Can anyone recommend an insurer that mirrors NCB?
Currently with Howdens (formally A-Plan) and looking at purchasing a QV which I've got lined up....unfortunately despite insuring my Evora and 4C previously I "don't have enough experience in high horsepower cars" so will only quote after I've owned it for a year
They tried another underwriter (Aviva) but they want £1600 with £700 excess, apparently due to my postcode and the cars theft history. Comparison quotes online are about £600-700, but that's based on my full NCB, and I've found in the past that the majority of mainstream won't let me use it.
Any suggestions? I fucking hate calling insurers and repeating the same 50 questions so I want to narrow it down and minimise the pain.
