Hi all, I'm sure everyone's aware of it already, but (for me at least) Admiral MultiCar is incredibly good on pricing, and includes foreign use, legal cover up to £100k, and a courtesy car. A brief rundown of the home situation: 2010 Octavia vRS TDi estate (15k a year mileage) Drivers: Main: 52 year old male, middle management, 16+ years NCB. Named: 50 year old female, administrator, 16+ years NCB. Both taking out guaranteed No Claims protection. £250 voluntary excess. £156 fully comprehensive. 2010 A3 2.0 TDI 140 Sportback Sport (6k a year mileage) Drivers: Main: 50 year old female, administrator, 16+ years NCB. Named: 52 year old male, middle management, 16+ years NCB. Both taking out guaranteed No Claims protection. £250 voluntary excess. £145 fully comprehensive. 2014 Octavia vRS TSI estate (6k a year mileage) Drivers: Main: (Me) 20 year old male, sales exec/parts management, 1 year NCB (got 3 years NCBon a second policy for a second car) Named: 50 year old female, administrator, 16+ years NCB. Named: 52 year old male, middle management, 16+ years NCB. Not allowed protected NCB. £250 voluntary excess. £503 fully comprehensive. I think that's rather good, given that the previous insurers were Aviva, who didn't offer a courtesy car, legal cover, or foreign use unless you paid extra, and wanted £570 just to renew the 2010 Octy and A3. They wouldn't even insure me in my new car. £503 for a 20 year old chap, in what is a relatively quick car, with a pretty low excess, seems very good to me

After 5 months of waiting, the end is finally on the horizon. Brief rundown: Candy white Octavia III vRS estate, TSI manual Black pack White stitching Cruise control Canton Columbus Ordered 16th of October 2013. Got a nice phone call today from the third salesman I've been passed on to at Westover Skoda Bournemouth, who said my car was built late last week, and is on its way. He then asked when I expected to take delivery, and given that 3-4 weeks from build seems to be the norm, I said just that. Apparently they've managed to pull a few strings and suchlike, and I'll be in it by the end of the month! Giving about two weeks from build to delivery, which, IF it happens, will be quite impressive. So in less that two weeks today, I should be in my new car. As expected, pictures and so on will be posted when it arrives Getting excited now!
