Because sometimes Will life is just too damn short for all the faffing about it would entail... I do tend to take paths of least resistance these days whenever I can...

When they're up for renewal I'll look again. Interesting about Aviva...

I've found Aviva most unhelpful and very expensive. However, in Will's case, clearly not always like that.
I'll give them the benefit of the doubt next renewal time.

I found adding cars to the policy very easy...one phone call and it was done.

Conversely I've always found Admiral and Flux exceedingly friendly and helpful and to me that's actually worth paying perhaps a little more for...

Admiral have been very good for many years in my case.

On reflection, i never shopped around much with the xm, i got one quote, saved £30 a month and just took the bait....one thing is for sure..ill be shopping around at renewal time

Wow im tired this morning..... I did another Range rover yesterday which took me just over 10 hours straight! My hands today dont work after machining all day and im aching all over....It was so cold yesterday at 7:30 when i met the owner i just wanted to go home again and sack the job off...but i got it done....

What an amazing machine! a 2012 Range Rover Vogue SE in black with cream leather. Almost top spec it was on another level of luxury and electronic gadgetry...ill stick some pictures up on my Pallas blogsite soon.

What was the best though was there sat in the garage is £63k (what the owner paid for it) of mint looking black Range Rover and the local kids playing out were all looking at the xm saying "wow look at that car...what is it? It looks like something off back to the future"

Some kids just have good taste i suppose

Cool, I'm trying to get my head round why a 1 year old Range Rover needs the "Vince" treatment!?

It wasnt that bad Robert to be honest and i met the owner for a pre assessment and told him that. He insisted though that he wanted it making better than new and that he had seen the finish on the first range rover and thats how he wanted his. So i got it done for him

The pictures are uploading now onto my blogsite so you'll see just what level of finish degredation it picked up in just short of 10k miles that its done

Funny Vince, this happened to me on only my second day driving mine, three school kids (teenagers) stopped, one pointed and I waited to the laughter but received nods and a thumbs up! Looks like the XM is now cool
