One of the best bits of the job, providing your not a lazy git. :wink:

Haha, definately not lazy. Been working sixty hour weeks for a year, add to that I'll be working for myself and in my favioute place (the car!) I think I've got a match made in heaven here. I can't wait!

Anyone any comments on my figures?

The main one. Bolton Le Moors (or Bolton 12 miles north of manchester!)

If you could let me know where I've messed up that would be lovely :). Thank you!

Phoned around a few places for insurance today. Insurance isn't cheap! Best quote I've had is £3500. I was aiming for around £2500 but I'll keep looking.

That's on a Skoda Octavia though, perhaps I could try and find something with a lower insurance group?

You live in a hot spot area I'm afraid, North Lancs has previous in terms of a poor track record.

I presume you've tried tradex?

I'm only 24 and they only quote for over 25s I think.

I'm 25 in six months, by the time my licence comes through that will be 4 or 5 so it may be beneficial to wait until then.

Or I could hire the car until July, will have a chat from the chappie at my base!
