Thanks for the Birthday wishes everyone.
So far today it hasn't been brilliant.
for my first birthday present I put two new tyres on the car. Nothing wrong with that and all went ok.
But
I have just renewed my insurance, actually runs out today. I changed again this year to try and keep the price down. My previous insurer, Admiral, wanted £450 odd for the privilege so I shoped around and finally went with Hastings Direct at £383. But when the paperwork came in the post I thought I'd better phone them and declare my body kit (side skirts and front and rear lips) because in the details I could see that they counted these as modifications :ohmy:
So I thought I'd declare these, it can't add much to the primium, if anything.
I was so wrong after being kept on hold fo some time while they talked to the underwriters they declared that that was going to cost me ............
Wait for it..........
an additional £183 hock:
So as expected I said in that case I needed to cancel and I would go elsewhere. They were then very pleased to tell me that under the circumstances they wouldn't charge me the cancellation fee, which I think is about £55. Good of them :blink:
So after that bombshell and to cut an even longer story short I went back to Admiral (I had already cancelled my policy) and after declaring the "mods" and with a bit of discount given for staying with them for another year I got it down to £425.
I am really surprised that they can get away this for something that is, at the end the day, a dealer optional accessory.
Been a good day for a lot of people so far, happy birthday and have fun with the.machine.
