Flex Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I caught the back of this story last night, didn't realise it was his, or he'd even be driving such a beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 What a non-story. The subject of the article should be how insurers did get the car fixed and a British engineering company did a fantastic job putting it back together, but instead it's a bloke guessing at his premium. Given how a young footballer would expect to pay £20K just to insure generic red sports car, I don't think £60K (if it is) is remotely expensive. It's 2% of the value of the car, or the equivalent of insuring a £30K 370Z for £600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theheff Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Dan you seem quite angry over the last couple if days, you ok cherub? I have a question for you though. Whats your thoughts on having 4 different types of tyre on a car. I mean, a differ t stylr on each corner, maybe one of the semi slick road tyres on the rear o/s, an off road tyre front o/s. so you get the bet of both worlds with it. Good for handling in the dry an off roading without having to change them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the subject of Mr Beans premium, then baring in mind that this is the 2nd time he`s stacked the car, and they have just forked out nearly a million quid repairing it, id have thought his premium would have been a lot more than £60k as he`s clearly a bit of a high risk. In fact, if I was an insurance company id probably tell him where to go. He actually stacked it the last time just down the road from where I used to live.
