insurance

just phoned up my insurance company to see about possibly getting a mk2 or mk3 golf insured

mk2 1.3 f reg 5door (most expensive one of group) came to 52.91 per month
mk2 1.6 driver f reg 5 door again the most expensive one of the group would be 58.19 per month
mk3 1.4 match m reg would be 59.28 per month this also being the most expensive one of mk3 1.4's

they said "make sure it's not got alloy wheels, as you can't have any modifications before the age of 25"

hmm better not mention my fez's modifications in that case then


basically my car's messing me around, so went to adjust the tappets today... and i think i may have made it worse, oh, also found a leak in my fuel line which can't be healthy, so considering getting a new runaround and garaging the mk1 fez

 

thats not too bad

 

What about VW alloys? when I insured my first dub, I just said they were optional extra, (BBS RA's) as they were avaiable as an option, but I fitted them

 

What's the situation if you buy an older VW and it comes with alloys but you "don't know" whether they are standard or not?

The Polo I bought had been supplied from new with alloys by the dealer rather than the normal steels etc.

 

WTF has being 25 got to do with having alloys?

F**king prats.
