Ah.. well let's hope it comes down for next year :y ::), best no drink, cos you'll end up short to pay the insurance ::)

Crikey, thats a bit steep. Where was that from? I'm getting quotes on a 3.2 Omega around £700 fully comp with 3 years no claims. My 2.6 was about £800 last year

Surely thats a misprint. i got quoted on my Omega with various companies and the dearest i was asking to pay was near £700. Thats with me being 30 and having only 3 years NCB. Though driving for over 15 years

Ridiculous amount!

Shop around for a 'normal' quote, for me that is £428 with RSA through the AA for my 3.0 fully comprehensive with windscreen cover. ;) ;)

Well I paid fully comp, including business use 901 last year, bearing in mind all extras are insured, eg irmscher bits, rims, suspension, stereo, one whole side of the car was keyed last year, all paid for by insurance, no doubt mine may go up this year, let's wait and see, 10 yrs no claims and protected, only in the last year ::)

I take it the quote was for your second year with that company. They hook you in the first year and whack it up after that. That's why you should never have a 'rolling' direct debit. Once they have taken the first instalment, you are knackered.
