Pimp My Paddy Wagon

Clearly Brunstrom’s crew at the North Wales police have decided that if you can’t beat them, you may as well join them, and have kitted out a police van with thousands of pounds worth of plod mods.

They reckon if they turn up at cruise events in their modified Ford Transit (resplendent in classic Martini race colours and recently retired from camera duty) they can talk to the participants about road safety. Presumably once the laughter has died down.

Predictably, many people are mocking the police for this, but I think they deserve some credit.

OK, so it’s about as cool as your dad coming out clubbing with you, but at least they’re making an effort to engage with a culture that most police forces don’t even try to understand, much less care about.

The bottom line is, that if a single life is saved, the effort will have been worth it, and by running a modified motor themselves, they might even learn a thing or two.

If any plumbers out there feel inspired enough to kit out their transit van, you know where to come for modified van insurance.

Milko!

I was glad we were able to help a young client with a problem. Insurance for young drivers is difficult to find at the best of times, but if you are a nineteen year old young driver, a bloke, live in London, and you need to insure a vehicle that is not only electrically powered, but is also q-plated and a milk float, there are very few insurers willing to offer cover.

Thankfully, because we have such a large panel of insurers, our commercial vehicles insurance department was able to help out a young man in exactly that situation, who had been looking, without any luck, for someone who could cover his 1987 milk float. And whilst the rate was never going to be particularly cheap, it was a good price for the situation, and he’s now got the coolest ride in London.

Here’s his blog and Flickr.

And if you need milk float insurance, give us a call on 08000 83 88 33.
