What on earth am I thinking about

[Havard]

So just paid for my insurance on the M for another year at £125.81
For comparison my wife's picanto [with me on the policy] came in at £130.02
Hard to figure how they work out the realtive risk on those prices
That's kind of made my mind up now to keep the MR as my insurance would rocket if i switched cars -even a humble MX5 would be a lot higher apparently

Who is that with Mr Professor? Sounds amazing for an M.

i wish mine was cheaper to insure..... the cost of running the car with my level of modifications is painful.

Imagine how much worse it would be if I’d gone ahead with supercharging and using mine as a daily driver

Very enjoyable 25,000 miles a year, but very expensive way to burn cash - almost as expensive as pyrotechnics, as that is literally setting cash alight

My Z4MC was less than £1000 a year for 25k miles, business class 1, parked on the road in Liverpool and with 3 points.

After the accident, and including the Alfa on a 10k/10k mileage’s split with Admiral multicar, the price is still less than £1000. Not bad considering I’d just had an 'at fault' claim.

With Admiral on a multi-car policy -and only 2k miles pa and £250 vol excess
Then again I'm an old man so maybe reason for lowish premium
Perhaps having a boring CRV as my daily qualifies me for a discount on the MR ?
Nonethless I recall my Mazda Eunos cost >£200 to insure and my XKR was >£300 also on ltd miles
So perhaps the MR is also lower risk
I just said fine and made the renewal on the spot before they changed thier mind

I am with Admiral but at 42 I am paying £305.00. Greater Manchester has its drawbacks on insurance. Mine is on 3k miles but £125 is amazing. How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

If you do, then post up a picture and I'll guess...

The E63M is like a boat to drive - a big boat at that. Sounds great but absolutely marhoosive compared to the go-karts we drive... Driven the coupé M6 and it was a disappointment from a handling perspective.
For ref my insurance is about 400 on 6k miles and I'm in the same age bracket as Paul / Havard. Will shop around more next year...

Actually President Nicola arranged a specially low quote for me from Admiral -it's going to truly epic here in the people's republic of Scotingland-can't wait
