Default insurance issues

HELP!!!

trying to get quotes on S1 RSt. how come a twenty year old car, (worth up to £5k maybe) costs as much as my vx? i am a difficult case it seems, because i want to drive it to work!!!

the vx has a soft top (you only need a stanley knife and a burberry hat to get in to it) and is quicker than a modified RSt (at least off the line ) and is worth three and a half times as much!!!

having said that, flux, dominion and greenlight been very helpful (crawl, crawl) with some good quotes. one company i called accidentally left me on the phone when they thought i was on hold, i could hear them shouting "vernier pulley? what the hell does that do!?" in the background!!!

it wasn't any of the above mentioned though, they all sounded very knowledgable (more crawling)

i feel strangely calm now...

very stealable cars back in the 80s and 90s mate...

same reasons cars like XR3is are in silly high ins. groups (iirc grp 13 or 14)

theyre worth fuck all and theyre slow... but theyre very stealable...
