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.

A 25 year old Range Rover ?? That's either
a) far too risky
or
b) hold my beer

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.

Those OV9 plates can’t have been cheap either!

Only 17.2litres? Did you forget to add the Bentley and the Porsche into the galaxy’s engine size

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!
