"One of the benefits of being old"

As many of your know (and remind me about often) I'm 31 years old.

How many of you youngsters own a car? How much is your insurance?

I just renewed my insurance on my - guess how much it cost.

Some figures to help you ...

. Value of car = £11,000
. It's kept in a locked garage
. Used for social, domestic and pleasure purposes only
. I do about 10,000 miles a year
. Protected no-claims bonus for life
. I have 3 points on my license for speeding

The person who gets closest wins, erm, a quid via PayPal.

I'll check back later.

Ha!

I had six, but three of them expired last year. I would've had nine, but I got let off by a very nice police lady.

Actually, I went through a speed trap/check/whatever yesterday in Hartlebury at about 45mph and the limit was ... *drum roll* ... 50.

Boy Racer!

Oh Timmy. You speed demon.

I'm going to work soon, in my mum's girly Clio with dear insurance.

Woo

Respect and experience can be benefits for any age.

Hindsight is a curse :)

Actually it is more of a myth.

Erm. Respect? Experience? Hindsight?

One of the benefits? Are there any others 'cos I don't think I've found any of them yet.

Well that makes me feel a bit better.

I paid £1645 for my '97 Citroen Saxo VTR.

Ridiculous

This is so unfair. I pay over a grand for mine.

Edit:- And I've only got a 1 litre engine.
