RobbiesZed Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Never been to Southend in my Z, potholes/speed humps? Are they common near the seafront as that's pretty much the only place I know there? I tend to go to car parks to meet with my mates and the chavs glare at us and shout abuse. And, out of curiosity... if you don't mind me asking, how old are you guys? I'm 21, I feel I might be one of the youngest on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybp Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 pot holes and speed humps is what they should rename Southend the amount of speed humps I hit is ridiculous and that's not speeding and to answer you're question I'm ancient "50" in March. 21 I wouldn't want to pay your insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Thats it speed bumps pot holes and lets not forget car cruise injunctions http://www.southend....ruise_injuction Pretty reasonable injunction really, certainly wouldn't stop a few of us from here heading down as long as no-one was acting the fool.

Ukeraa Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) I'm 23 going on 13 lol. The seafront isn't actually a bad place when you're right on the front, but it's 20 now I believe and they are quite strict on cruising. There used to be meet-ups where people would turn around in a big car park and just go up and down the seafront. The surrounding area of Southend is a bit of a nightmare though, pretty much everywhere is full of speed bumps and pot holes. http://www.echo-news.co.uk/news/13625426.Car_cruisers_banned_from_Southend_seafront_by_the_courts/ I work in Brentwood and use my Z as a daily driver, the amount of pot holes and speed bumps is infuriating.

Pot holes. My Z is like the story 'Princess and the pea.' She feels every every little stone she runs over. And yeah. I'm not a fan of insurance, but I say it totally worth it at the end of the day. And this thread is turning out to be a pretty decent success, I didn't know there were so many (and I know there aren't actually that many, but I was only expecting 1 or 2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ukeraa Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 My insurance is £660 annually. Fully comp, 23 years old with zero no claims bonus, ld have got it for £500 with a black box, but yeah... not gonna happen in a million years! I have business travel on my insurance too because sometimes I have to drive to Coventry for work, but that put it up by like £20 a year. I think my postcode, job and the fact that it's kept in a locked garage overnight helps too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Kay Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I grew up in Epping but moved to the Essex/Herts border about 10 years ago. Would be keen to join in with a gathering if one is arranged. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's bloody cheap I'm 25 and mines coming up at 1200 with 0 no claims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ukeraa Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Elephant. I used Go Compare . Helped my neighbour buy a VW Golf at the weekend and his insurance is like 770, I'm only a year older and we have the same job. No idea why mines so much cheaper for a much more powerful car.
