Angry car insurance

so today i thought i would sort out my car insurance, so i go to a certain broker as i've herd good things about them. so i go to get the quote, now i was only driving my old car for 6ish months and then i sold it, with that and a 10% discount with my 2 years no claims for my bike they quoted me £2300 TPFT, WHAT!!!, he advised me to sell the car and get a 1.2 or less petrol, "whats the point thats still going to be quicker than the 106" i said, then left in a huff

not happy

EDIT: my car is peugeot 106 1.5D, step down from my old Corsa

I thought you couldn't use bike related NCB on a car policy and vice-versa?

Still, helluva steep.

I'd say £400 fully comp for my scooby impreza turbo is much better than £2300 for your pug 1.5d

PS - do you go over Northam Bridge to/from work?

WTF, how much?? have yo crashed every other day since you had a licence??

do they realise how slow that car is and how un attractive it is to thieves.

In theory i agree with pricing youngsters out of having high performance cars (but this aint one) as there are far to many dIIk heads in fast cars around that think they are all that. Oh and if us bikers have to be restricted if we are under 21 so should car drivers.
