Re: Tired of insurance premiums going up every year?
I had a nasty shock - I told you how I got a huge increase? I ignored it and they then took , with no permission, the increased premium in one go from my Debit card! I have managed to get a promise of a refund, I am waiting now hopefully.

Re: Speed Limits
I am surprised that we don't have them going up in dozens or even sevens, just to be awkward. If we tried to be more European we could covert exactly to KM/H with really confusing numbers, decimal places and even fractions.

Re: lanchester 14 running again BUT
I think I have it right now. It might be slightly retarded, as it won't pink on a hill. But it runs OK. But yesterday a drip was discovered , showing up on a damp road so now next job is to find the oil/petrol drip. But overall it starts and runs and is much better , using less oil (by 1953 standard...

Re: Tired of insurance premiums going up every year?
my quote for a Mercedes C Class went up to about -----£560! this was as much as for a quote I got for a 2008 Bentley Continental. So I got on the MeerKats site, and got a quote from COOP for about half the renewal. also, I now get a nic toy furry Meerkat.

Re: lanchester 14 running again BUT
