Post by: Gozza on 26 January 2004, 15:25: Just a word of warning lads, if you do insure it in your mum/dads name you need to register the car to them as well otherwise if you do have a claim and sent the logbook you could well be up sh!t stree t when the insurers refuse to pay. I work for an insurance brokers so have seen this happen :(
