    Even the boyfriend wouldn't be seen in a mini convertible

    Joking aside, the wife has just bought an R-Class, so we can't all have good taste....

      I once got a quote, it was really low, took it and then when the paperwork arrived it was for the wrong model.

      Quote was made by a Bob over the phone who obviously was a twonk.

        Its an online quote so I can't blame Fat finger Bob.

        As for why I have the mini, I have a parking space that fits it perfectly (and virtually no other car). Its also an automatic, I treat it as a go-cart and its very good at scaring boy racers.

          Yes, yes, but does your boyfriend like the colour?

            This is probably as close to the reason as you can get. Whole host of other things such as Zafira will be on the road more, have more people per mile in it. Zafira is going to get reversed in to stuff and less care taken than someones fun car and so on. Right bloody rip off insurance is.

              Mini cooper quote £197
              Vauxhall Zafira £205.

              I know theres not much in the quotes but they are from the same company !!!
              Number of seats. Also get the car HPI checked, if is cat D for example, the premium goes up

                Ah I get it. You're the only gay in the village, so they reckon you'll be quite safe pottering around at 10 mph.
