I had been driving for almost twenty years when I decided to ditch the car and buy a motorbike. I had recently split up with my wife, and out kids were all at university, so I really had no need for a big car, and it seemed like a great way for me to inject a bit of fun into my life.
I managed to sell my car without any problem, and perhaps foolishly I just dove in and bought a pretty powerful bike. I had taken all of the qualifications I needed to be able to ride the bike, but when I rang my insurance company to change the policy over from my old car to my new bike, I was told that there was actually going to be a very large hike in the amount of money I was going to be paying! To be honest with you I thought that my premium would have dropped, and I couldn’t understand the offer. Instead of just accepting the offer, I decided to have a look around online, and see if IU could find some advice about this,

It is a perennial argument between owners of both types of transport, but here, yet again, we look at the pros and cons of both vehicles!

These days there are many different ways to find a second hand car to buy. A lot of people still do it the old fashioned way and buy their local rag and search through the classifieds until they come across some grainy picture of a rust bucket that looks half decent in that lovely shade of grey!
I recently had to find a new car because my old car got run into the ground. It only cost me four hundred pounds but it did me proud for over fifty thousand miles! Unfortunately it has been sent to the scrap yard now, and I need something a bit smarter for my new job.
