Play around with quotes online and note this awesome fact: Sometimes buying a multicar policy can be cheaper than buying a single one and is fully legal. Find some old micra or some equally rubbish car, be clear that you are not the owner or the registered keeper or the main driver and see if you can beat your single car quote
Realistically, you have a choice of two companies at your age: Sky Insurance (trader on here) or the Admiral Group (Bell, Admiral, Elephant, Diamond, yada yada).
Out of interest, how much do these go for as while I am more skint than a homeless unemployed beggar being mugged of a week's worth of coins on a rainy day at the moment, things might actually be different next month?
Exactly. I've got a 285 on my Rota GTRs which are 10 wide at the rear and these sit perfectly flush. Aside from the fact that those 12'' wheels stick out proper barryboy style (and are in fact illegal in doing so), a wheel which is 2 inches wider really ought to have slightly wider tyres on it. The fact that many tyre manufacturers specifically state that 285 tyres must only be fitted to a maximum width of 11 inches must surely also be a factor.
But then again, each to their own.
I get this a fair bit and my approach has recently been to do an extremely sarcastic fake yawn which on most occasions is a prelude for a barrage of abuse and anger from the saxo crammed with 5 teenagers which never fails to amuse me. I then pull away gently and let the idiots do whatever it is that they fancy doing.
A little off topic for which I apologise, but I once bought an epic air rifle which shot little hard plastic or metal pellets and could easily kill a bird of a decent size from around 20 yards. Unfortunately that purchase was made in the souvenir shop of Moscow's World War 2 Museum for the grand price of £3 about 15 years ago, so not much help.
Is it just me or are 12j GTR-D going to seriously stick out barryboy style? (their offsets must be more extreme due to the deep dish or is that just me?)
The frustrating thing is that for those under 30, Admiral have a virtual monopoly price-wise which means that no matter how much you dislike them, you're gonna stick with them anyway.
The Apple own-brand covers are pretty decent, but buy one in a dark colour as the lighter ones fade quite a bit and look a bit after a while. Or alternatively get yourself a non-apple one, but imho a cover that doubles as a stand is very useful. My wife's also got a wireless keyboard which she loves and uses frequently for writing anything long.
you can get a replica from Likwidart (google the name + email the guy) for considerably less. The only difference is that the replica has a silver outline, but I've got one after having rubbish badges before and am very pleased with it.
