I've only ever owned 2 cars and my previous car had a high level of respect within the Ford scene but never once did I proclaim to own the best of the bunch and yet various threads took a downward spiral for no reason..

its ok you may well have the best condition car on the forum but i will never jump on the butt kissing bandwagon lol, you know me lol

I think everyone who has an older Volvo that's got a market value like ours should consider an agreed value policy tbh as it's a lot to loose if not...

I had a modified s4 insured for £5250 including mods which is what I paid for it I spent 3k on her in getting her and keeping her up to scratch and when she got written off in nov 10 I got just £5k! I tried for more but in fairness while i was arguuing it i was driving there crappy hired v50 1.6d which cost them more. Believe it or not it cost the insurance company around £5.5k to put me in a 2008 v50 worth about £8k with barely legal tyres from the end of nov 2010 to end of jan 2011! They would have been better of settling quicker for the full amount even then I had to show them all the receipts I had to get £5k!
