What have you done with your pulsar today?

[campbellju]

Today, I finally got an MOT after 11 years off the road. I'm still slightly surprised. A couple of minor tidy up jobs the mechanic spotted but nothing significant so no advisories. I just need to sort insurance now and can start to run the engine in.

It sure puts a smile on your face when you get a fresh mot,now for the fun of driving it,don't be soft,drive it like you stole it.

 

[campbellju]

Thanks Stu

First job is to get insurance. Who are people using nowadays?

Thanks Cathode. I moved house in the middle so I'm pleased it finally got done.

 

[Cathode]

Moving house, possibly the the most stressful thing you can do on a par with getting married.

Well done Jim ! im very envious .

Thanks Geoff, fantastic to hear from you. I was just thinking about you the other day and our Japanese OC meet

 

[geoff pine]

what an amazing place Japan was i was down for going back again early in 2018 but sadly was still having test so could not get travel insurance . Im due to have my second covid jab 12 April so hoping to be able to travel once the shielding is lifted got family and friends to vision the north west.If there's a north west meet will try to get to that not seen agtir since my own drove up the road February 2020.

 

[campbellju]

@Geoff, as you know, a GtiR at a NW meet has been optional for a long time
If you're coming up to the North West once we're all vaccinated, let us know and we can organise something

 

[campbellju]

Between getting the MOT and now I've been dealing with a load of "life" stuff so no time for the Pulsar.

Got a quote for insurance yesterday of £620 with my current broker all mods declared.

Have you tried classic insurance, I got mine quoted for £245 with 90% of my mods declared!

That unlimited mileage too!

 

[campbellju]

Have you got a link Andy? I'm Classicline which I think is different. I found a classiccarinsurance and a few others relating to classic car and insurance.

I'm going to insure from 1st August so still time to look around.

I’m sure peter James was who I used for a classic policy on my Gtir last time I insured it , £150 a year ,
But I remember they were changing or had just had a rule that you had to be a member of a car club that they affiliated to - I had to send my membership number for the Jaguar enthusiast club that I was a member of
