Car Advice - Mummy Cars!

@Crucial some insurers still ask for evidence, but others operate on you being truthful about it, plus it's with your existing insurer it matters.
I had someone back into my parked car earlier in the year and drive off, $4 k damage...
The U.K. Car insurance market has long been a basket case, not sure if the last 3 or 4 years have changed, but prior to that it hadn't made any money for about 10 years! Great business to be in....

Annddd there goes my thread about Mummy Cars!
Not that I'm complaining, sports cars are far more interesting.
Although I appreciate that the Boxster and Cayman are great cars in their own right, I am 100% in the Richard Hammond school of thought about them:
There’s only one reason you buy a boxster - one - and it’s because you can’t afford a 911. That’s it.

959 would be my preferred choice, well, in its day anyway...the good thing about having a vehicle like that is there is no room for the kids.

@ACT-Crusader BMW and extras - I know what you mean. I had to pay £90 extra for floor mats in my 911. How the fuckety-fuck are floor mats considered extras?

I don't get sports cars. Unless you have access to a race track they are the equivalent of waking up with a throbbing morning wood and no one to share it with except yourself.
So. Like most days then.

There goes my sports car thread....

@taniwharugby string them up by their scrotum. You don't fuck with a mans hilux.
I've got a four litre v6 hilux today as a courtesy car. I don't want to give it back.
I'm taking the loooooong way home. -

Nah don't string them up by the nuts.
Tie their nuts to the towbar and head off road.

There is nothing in the world more manly than a Hilux.

@taniwharugby And there I was recovering from finding out what a circle jerk literally was ... and you go and put up a story like that. Another panic attack - had to go and take the rotor out of my hilux (yes some classic vehicles still have a rotor). If it had an alarm I would go and set it.
I'm going for lie down. Today has just been too much.
@antipodean When it gets to 20 years old we will see.

Oh, and scum who steal hiluxes don't have nuts, balls, or any other sort of genitalia. They don't even qualify as fluffybunnies.
I really am upset now. Swearing on the interthing and people comparing brand new Mercedes to hiluxes. The bloody world has gone mad.

@antipodean cant see Crumpy driving that thing.

That thing will broken down about 500 times before the Hilux is even due an oil change.
Hiluxes rule.
