Insurance companies clearly think your Suzuki is a threat to the Skylines and to public safety. If some scrote decided to nick it for a joyride it would end in carnage.

Oil and filter and pollen filter changed this evening, total cost £60, and that was using Mobil 1 oil.
Audi wanted £200 which is fair enough given their overheads.
Hang on though, it only took an hour and a bit so that’s a pretty good hourly rate :eyebrows:
Chatting with a customer's neighbour this morning, who has just taken delivery of a new Audi Q3 (folk love to talk about their new cars, I'm told) and I asked him about the engine badge on the rear: "4.0 TFSI, blimey that's a big engine, I bet it's a bit rapid". He told me it makes 190bhp and is actually 2 litre. He said something about them preparing for electric/hybrid engines, but my eyes were staring to glaze over, as his tech talk wasn't nearly as interesting as his car, and I have a really short attention span when mealtimes are approaching.
Does this misleading engine badge make sense to anyone?
I wouldn't buy a car that carries no spare wheel.
My brother had a new Q5 briefly. A burst tyre in rural France left him stranded for ages. The puncture repair 'goo' and air pump supplied were useless. He sold the car in disgust!
The new Q3 is rather nice, not giving them away though.
A friend of my brother's bought a Bentley Continental GT a few years ago, and it cost him about 150 grand. One day he got a flat tyre, and was unable to find the spare wheel. So he phoned Bentley Service, enquiring as to its whereabouts, and after many audible clicks on a keyboard, the nice lady informed him that he'd not chosen the £3,000 spare wheel option.
This was a shrewd, canny Scottish owner of a multi million pound company employing about a hundred people. Surprising really that he was happy to face the ridicule he rightly received. :D
