+1 it would seem you need to fit a very specific criteria for AF to be competitive. HIC are dicks overall, and one of their underwriters, Equity Red Star, who I was insured with are massive cunts. I'm with SKY Insurance at the moment and they are not only friendly on the phone, they know their modified car shit, and they are helpful when dealing with a claim. I think it helps that my underwriter is Chaucer too, who have been great.
Passat estates are fucking sweet. Set of £200 hottuning coilovers and you wouldn't believe how quick a 1.8 estate could hustle down a B road.
For a reason. It's all well and good if you're a contractor or labourer, but if you care even 1% about aesthetics you won't be able to look at that with any sort of lust.
HELL YES. Can't decide what era to dress up as. From the photos I've seen over the years the 1920s to 40s seem to be most popular but I fancy 50s.
My Mini is being picked up on Tuesday by a Mini specialist called Mini Craft who will be using it as a loaner and for NA development.
Farewell, Norman! We had some epic times. From taking Paddock Hill Bend at 80mph with the back end out, through hanging on the back of a 997 GT3 RS for at least 5 miles of the 'Ring, all the way to understeering onto the verge on the wrong side of the road at 02:00 on an unlit B road back when I first got you and you were a virgin pup fresh out of the hands of a W London yuppie.
Not to worry though, as soon as the car is on the low loader I'm hot footing it to Edinburgh to pick up my next car. Gonna get my 90s PIMP on! He's yet to be named.
