turns out a vr6 golf is only £300 more on insurance, shame its still £2500 in a years time.

Abuse the car one more time at PCT Hillclimb in January, then get it back to how it should look. Stock up on a shitload of detailing kit, get cambelt and full flush and service done, and keep it mint once nice weather shows up.

Sell.

Buy G40.

Well first on the list for me is get the G40 running again as I'm tired of looking at it half done in my drive.

Once thats done I'll have three cars, the G40, the openair valver and the Laguna V6.

By this time next year I only want two cars (because of the new insurance laws) so I either have to sell one of the above...or sell two of the above and buy something completely different. I'll hopefully keep the G40 though as weirdly its the cheapest to insure.

What new insurance laws?

As of January 2011 if you are the registered keeper of a car that is taxed it MUST be on an insurance policy. Whether it is kept on or off the road if its taxed it MUST be insured.

A bit silly I know if you like putting a car away for the winter, now you will have to go through the hassle of claiming the tax back, put it on SORN, then cancel the insurance or switch it or whatever, then you'll need to buy tax again once you decide you want to bring it back out.

Whatever you do we are getting bumped off because insurance is going up in January anyway with the insurance premium tax rise. But if you decide to SORN a car you'll never get back the true value of the tax and then you have to pay the full whack again when it comes to re-taxing.
