Hello

Hi,

Having gone out yesterday looking for a sensible, economical car to replace my Focus 2.0 Ghia with 110,000 on the clock I found myself buying a white Octavia VRS WRC (74/100). Cleary I'm a sucker for good looks and performance but at least its got a huge boot so I only have to make one trip to the bottle bank to do my recycling (thereby saving the planet despite having a 1.8 turbo).

My main reason for posting was to ask for advice on reasonable insurance - any tips?

Sarah

P.S. Sorry for posting this on another thread first. Clearly I am a forum virgin!!

Welcome to Briskoda Sarah

Give Chris Knott a try for insurance and be sure to mention Briskoda

Is that a daily or a weekly trip?
