Council garages in some sh!t areas are like 7.50 a week. You could leave it in there chained up sorn with no insurance. Or get a policy in your parents name on a classic car just so you can keep to he car without driving it till your in a position to use it again.

That is brilliant! Why didn't I think of that?!

£130 fully comp parked on street at my rents house with my dad as the sole driver. (Goes up to 1200 if I add me as named driver, damn lol, I wi have a play and see if there is a way of getting me on). But yay, so long as my dad agrees (why would he) I can probs keep it...

Parting with a Mk2 can come with the side effect of buying a Mk3.
Dont take the risk :grin:

That is not a risk.

 Mk3s have one purpose, and one purpose only. To be broken for parts to keep mk2s alive!

Really don't know how you guys do this. Who are these insurers that give out these deals because I've never had quotes like that.

Prove it or its just BS internet numbers :tongue:

£84 for mine and my dad is a named driver, though he only ever drives it once or twice a year. I'm 42 years young which helps a lot! Costs me more to tax it for 6 months.

It needs to be in my garage by 10pm, if its parked any were else its not covered. But it can be driven after that time. 3k miles year max. Cannot be used to commute to/from work. Etc etc.
