"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.

It's only because he's "special"

Not having had an accident for over 10 years helps.

Pff, I pay zilch for car insurance.

If I manage to get a scholarship for Uni this year (and my odds are pretty good, with very few people actually going for it, as it's through my dads work, but they only give out 1 (sometimes 2, annually)), then, coupled with teh summer work and part time work I'll have over the next 4-5 years, I'll be coming out of Uni with about 50k in excess.

And I'll be 21/22 (can't be bothered to work it out), so by then my insurance costs should have dropped.

Wonder what I'll do with that money.
Hmmm.

You can either be rogered senseless from behind by the forum member of your choice, or I can send you a quid via PayPal.
