Why does everything happen at once?
Karl | January 22, 2010 21:14Although I knew new tyres were just around the corner, I had, inevitably been hoping they’d last just that little bit longer
This hoping was doubled when I realised that not only were the fronts going to need doing, but that the rears were joining in the fun. Great.
I also knew that any day would see the arrival of the car insurance renewal dropping on the door mat.
As an aside, the renewal duly arrived a couple of days ago. The renewal seemed a bit steep, so I checked with the broker that now deals with the classic insurance policy. They could do a much better deal, not only cheaper, but including breakdown.
Now, here’s the bit I don’t quite understand. I called the company that sent the renewal out, told them to stop writing me reminders, as I wasn’t renewing with them. They said, and this made me chuckle “if you tell us what they quoted, we can at least match it”. I asked why, if they could do me a better price, had they not done so? Were they hoping I’d just renew and not check around so they could make a bit of bonus money?
Anyway, these things always happen in threes, of course, so I wasn’t overly surprised to see
on the Saab’s dash.
Luckily (?) it’s an intermediate, so not too hard on the pocket!
So it’s all booked in. The dealer even quoted a sensible price for the four shiney new 235/45 SportContact3, so there’ll be one of those on each corner too.
….I wonder if they’ll lend me a TTiD to play with while it’s in there
