Anyone else on here the wrong side of 50......
« on: January 03, 2017, 03:12:51 pm »
Before I do the rounds, I just wondered how much you pay for the insurance on a modded car with one of the specialist companies ?
Eg,  stage 2, not living in a big city, full no claims, 10-12k mileage per year.
Cheers

Loveley High House prices, final salary pensions and low insurance premiums....some of the things that make me glad to be 55+!  :signLOL:

To the above I would also  probably add grown-up children  :drinking:

Not so keen on the accompanying sciatica, knackered knees, and high cholesterol tho!

Paying £350 ish, for stg 2 and all bit ed 30, for self + wife, otherwise as OP. Rural, not garaged.
 All mods declared...of course!

I'm with you on the kids having flown the nest, oh how I miss them!!!!!

I was recently able to celebrate my first visit to youngest daughter's new house....
By turning up the central heating to 25C,  turning on all the lights, and helping myself to most of the contents of her fridge :drinking:

I did also think about drying a single pair of my underpants in her new tumble dryer, for 2 hours, just because I could!

It was nice to have them all home for Christmas but.....
