[Need someone to take my car out]

for those people that are saying they are fully comp you better check your policy first because in some of them now in the fine print you will find your only allowed to drive yours and your not covered to drive any other car with or without the owners permission i found out on mine when i was reading all the fine print and im full comp as well but it doesn't cover me to drive any other car

but really do hope someone can manage a trip for you

Good advice there, far too many people assume they have the driving other cars entitlement and end up with IN10 convictions.

[Insuring a second car]

You need to find and insurer who can 'mirror' the NCB over to the second car..

What am i doing wrong???

You are trying to get a quote for a engine swapped car on a price comparison site.. these sites are primarily for standard UK cars.

Speak to a specialist insurer.

i hate the gormless mug u get on the other end of the line that just hates their job so cant be arsed to try and save u money and couldnt care less if you went else where

Not all insurers are like that.

[£1900 for a GT4 with 59k on the clock?]

Shockingly cheap. I sold my '94 WRC for not a lot more 6 months back

[Today I will be bitching about insurance]

Maybe we should whinge about Car Hire companies charging the Insurance Co's so much. Or find a way of getting the uninsured drivers to cough up more.

A sensible reply.

Last year the UK's private car insurance industry paid out £1.30 for every £1.00 they took in premiums, hence why rates are up by 30% - 40%. Some reading here:

Please do not shoot the messenger. The industry is in a mess and needs sorting out, by this I mean everything from cash for claims scams, rediculous PI claims, bodyshops charging far to much, hire car companies charging far too much etc etc.
