UK Car insurance craziness?

[tankski]

Hi folks,

My car insurance is up for renewal in just over a month and I’ve been getting some indicative quotes for my Emira and they’re frankly absurd: £5500/year. About 8 weeks ago I was getting quotes for purchasing the car and they were around £1200 for the same inputs.

Im aware a lot of this could be down to my circumstances but they haven’t changed for a while. Has anyone else found their premiums go up an unreasonably large amount? I’m wondering if this is Emira-specific or if it’s just me.

I visited Bradford a few times. Lambos and Ferraris can often be seen driving around. I once saw a convoy of at least 20...ill gotten gains I expect

And copied number plates.

And copied number plates.

I knew a couple of blokes who actually did this, they had the exact same cars, so ran with the same number plates. Being friends, they eventually parked next to each other having completely forgotten not to.
Some passerby noticed, reported it and the 2 of them had an interesting conversation with the Police. One pleaded ignorance, the other got the full weight of the law down on him. IIRC, he lost his license for a year
