idea... no offence, like. ;-)

At least the windows haven't fallen out of the Alfa. Yet.

Have a look here http://www.2getherinsurance.com/ they insured my locost fully comp for £125 for the year. At the moment all I've done is give them money though so can't comment on their customer service etc. |
comp, unlimited miles as a 2nd car. Not bad at all. I was going to take
it until my current insurer, More Than, said they'd beat it by a tenner
when I emailed them the quote..

Actually, some fresh, reasonably thin oil fixed the funny engine
noise. I think the Alfa wants to have the engine flushed and some decent
oil put in. The more you drive it like you're in Rome the healthier it
sounds afterwards.

I was rather hoping common sense would kick in before you made a
decision on whether or not to buy something like the latter, tbh. ;-)

I'm currently exploring the feasibility of added another Italian jalopy to the stable, namely a 20 year old 4WD hot hatch. To make it worse the car in question is a Swiss-spec one that doesn't appear on any insurance brokers' computer. So far, most of my preferred brokers have declined to quote either because it won't be garaged or because "it's not on our system". Only company to quote was Heritage.

my Golf GTI. They're willing to insure most stuff - generally mods are free
up to a set power limit, so a lot of stuff other insurers won't cover, like
cages, they will.
CIHAGM?
