Expensive Mistake by careless Ferrari Driver
Jul 10th
If you are lucky enough to own a powerful rear-wheel drive car, whether it be something as exclusive as a Ferrari or something just a little more down to earth, like a Lotus or TVR, you need to be careful that you don’t lose control.
That’s why we offer such a massive discount on performance car insurance to owners who have completed a course like Ride Drive.
So if you’re lucky enough to have a dream car, think about improving your driving, or you’ll end up looking like a big wally – just ask this guy:
And if he doesn’t convince you, you could ask this Mustang driver.
Practise Safe Sex – by modifying your car!
Apr 30th
If, like Bernhard Stadlinger, you are feeling lucky after a night out on the town, and manage to get it on with a young lady you’ve met at the disco (well, he is German!), then you may well face the same problem as him.
After all one black VW Golf looks much like another, and if, like our 24 year old Bavarian chum and his unnamed lady friend, you choose the wrong one, you could be in trouble. When the middle aged owner of the car came back and found the windows a bit steamy, she called the police, and poor old Bernhard found himself with some explaining to do.
Now if only he had fitted a smart bodykit, mad exhaust, bling alloys, and some window tinting to his car he would have had no trouble finding it. You’ve got to wonder, though, how it was that, according to the press reports, his key fitted the locks on both cars.
Finally a guy driving badly…

After months of wanting a clip of a guy driving as badly as some of the women previously displaying their distinct lack of driving talent, I’ve finally got one.
This is why cars come with a handbrake – shame he was too dumb to use it…
It was all going so well, but just as I was about to post this, Gerry sent me this.
Now, just imagine you’ve had a really bad smash. For any sensible person, the priority would be, get out of the car and move to a safe distance, maybe call 999.
Not this lady…
Kinky Kit Car Owner’s eBay Blow Up
Feb 8th
When eBay seller and Westfield Kit Car enthusiast russf123 put his spare gearbox onto eBay, he took great care in taking clear photographs of the Ford type 9 ‘box from every angle.
Perhaps he should have taken a bit more care to tidy his garage first, though, as an interesting item lurks in the background of one of the shots…
Given that many of our customers are Kit Car enthusiasts themselves, perhaps there is someone reading this post who might want the gearbox for their own project. If so you’ve got until Saturday to put in a bid.
And don’t forget to call us on 08000 83 88 33 for free build up cover while you’re putting your car together as well as cheap, high quality kit car insurance for when you get it onto the road.
Hit in the Bollards
Nov 14th
Councils across the land are installing rising bollards in an attempt to keep motorists away from routes they’re not supposed to use. You would think placing a solid obstacle in way of the forbidden route would be more effective than just signs.
Clearly the designers reckoned without the British public.
I feel a claim or two coming on.
