Worried about high insurance prices??

Posted in Insurance

Is a sports car within your budget? Have you taken road tax, MOT and fuel costs into consideration? What about insurance? Just because you own a top of the line car, this shouldn’t mean you have to pay top prices on your insurance. Sports car insurance is always going to be one of the most expensive policies to buy, but shop around, use comparison websites and make sure you’re getting the best deal for a price that suits you. Some insurance companies won’t handle performance cars so make sure you do your research and the company you have chosen are willing to insure your vehicle.

In the UK, Endsleigh Car Insurance is a good independent comparison website and they will help you find the best quote. Being insurance professionals, they will be able to give advice for first timers and will even have something to offer the more experienced driver. Have a look at the website or give them a call to enquire and hopefully save!

Endsleigh has some good background and frequently asked questions as well as some helpful tips on how to reduce your premiums. Taking into consideration things like annual mileage, type of cover and any no claims bonuses, they offer a variety to suit everyone. They also have offers for huge discounts and agreed valuations.

Some car clubs will offer schemes that are only available to club members, so it’s worth having a look at these to see if they can offer something even better than specialist sports car policies. There are a lot to choose from, so do your homework and make sure any club you may be thinking of joining is right for you.

Pulse Evo SM 50cc

EVO SM 50cc

The new Pulse EVO SM 50cc based on the pulse adrenaline 125cc design and it perfect at handling although Like the adrenaline it doesn’t have amazing power but its is very fun on bending roads, As it’s an 50cc engine I am sure you can ride it from age of 16 in the U.K.

With prices starting from £1600.00 its a reasonable price for your first time bike although with a max speed of 45kph on a 2 stroke engine although sounds great it’s generally better for commuting to work or around friends, it’s not something you can take on motorway with a full licence due to lack of top speed and power.

Although if you put after-market exhaust on the bike you may gain up to around 5BHP out of the bike but it’s not something a biker wants to ride on long day out with other riders which may have more powerful engines to leave you behind, but PERFECT for the beginner rider and has a great scream like most 2 strokes.

Although once you start on a low-speed 2 stroke like this most likely you will end up moving to either a husquvarna WRE125 or DT 125 if still on learner legal licence if passed DSA then you may even want something with amazing power such as KTM EXC 125 or 250 which is just amazing 2 stroke power for an enduro bike.

Haven’t noticed anything bad about bike sounds nice and rides very well in wet weather couldn’t test in dry as its been raining in my area most of day for past few days but it handles as well as possible in wet weather so that’s a bonus as UK weather is mostly wet and gloomy.

Volkswagen Golf 1.9 GT-TDI 130BHP

Today a friend of mine wanted to buy himself an updated golf model as he has the old mark 3 golf but due to high price of golf’s, He was only wanting to spend around £4,000 so I was looking around for  him on condition i can check it after buying it.

In end found a nice model on 51 plate amazing condition with R32 replica kit plus Air conditioning and cd changer and alloys plus many more basics.

managed to buy it for £3,299 Including 12 Months Tax and M.O.T
so grabbed a bargain in silver and was amazing to drive it just perfect car to get from a to b without worrying about breaking down, Car was purchased  with full service history and HPI check was done when viewing car, Was a great buy and just goes to show buying older models of cars within 10 years old they all are pretty good and if serviced annually normally run for ever with little costs of maintaining it.

The love for the German cars is within us all the build quality and technical advantages to German cars has not been matched by very many other car manufactures but as always customers should not buy direct but buy privately that way they may save more money plus do not buy on a car loan you will end up paying more than what the car is worth new to pay back any loans on small repayments and long terms and fee’s.

Our Cars Drive Us Up The Wall – But We Love Them!

Posted in Insurance

A recent survey by the Telegraph has revealed that, despite all our moans about the cost of car insurance, road tax, fuel and poor road conditions; we British still wouldn’t be without our cars. And it’s not just for the convenience of getting from A to B; many of us view our cars as extensions of our homes, and prefer solitary driving to having passengers. Probably because, like at home, we can break wind, sing badly, talk to ourselves and generally behave as we like within our own little space.

But considering the statistics revealed in the survey, it’s surprising that we do feel so at home in our cars. Almost half (41%) of all drivers surveyed said that excessive restrictions have soured their enjoyment of being on the road – the main culprit being speed humps. Many drivers cited other road users as the fly in the ointment; tailgaters got 70% of the hate vote, while lost drivers got 40% of the blame.

Even though we can’t change it, the weather came in for its fair share of blame too; 39% of drivers hate driving in the snow, and the same amount dislike driving in rain. Often exacerbated by the weather, road conditions are also a very real problem with drivers; 80% of us state that our driving pleasure is tainted by the poor conditions, with potholes and poorly surfaced roads being the main offenders. 66% blame road works though, so it’s a case of “damned if you do, damned if you don’t”…Although it’s not so much the road works that grinds our gears; more the lower speed limits and resulting tailbacks when it’s quite clear that no work is actually going on.

But the underlying concern is unsurprisingly, the cost of actually being a car-owner. In the past year, fuel has risen to astronomical levels, and most drivers have also seen insurance premiums rise by up to 40%. Add these to the ever-increasing cost of road tax, MOTs and congestion charges, and it’s a wonder any of us can afford to run a car at all.

Despite all this, we wouldn’t be without our cars. More than just a means of transport; for many of us, the car we drive is as much an announcement to the world of our personality, status, or individuality, as the clothes we wear.
