Anyone else on here the wrong side of 50......

I agree with grey golfster on the good things of getting older.

Our grown-up children are still at home.  They say it helps me fight off dementia, if I could remember what that is.   That also tell me it keeps me young.  It does, until I look in the mirror, and see my dad looking back at me!

I'm 62.  Costs me £365 to insure the GTI. Live in rural Cheshire, garage the car in the barn, fully comp (with max no claims), no limit on mileage, including business use.

Who's that with Oldy and is the car modified?

Getting back to OP's Insurance topic...

Have been getting insurance premium quotes for my proposed new car.
Tiguan Diesel 150HP auto 4x4 SENav, cost (note i didn't say value) £32000.
Coming back at a little more than my Stg 2 - and a bit - Ed 30!

I know Tig invoice price is 4 times the "value" of the Golf, but you would think Third party/public liability aspects of the premiums would have a greater effect?
After all "value" of Tig (should I be unlucky enough to have to claim a TL) will be about £20k in 6months   

Makes the price of my Ed30 insurance look quite reasonable, given that it probably has 4 times the performance of the Tig?
