Whoop whoop

We're getting a new windscreen for the car

It's damaged in some way, lots of little stars all over it, which is a right pain when the sun is on it, or at night, with lights from cars coming towards you.

We've asked around and were told it would be anything up to 500€

It's being done, next week, here, for 227€

Grumpy is dead chuffed.

Sounds like a bargain Jan yaay

I guess you don't get windscreen cover on your insurance over there, Jan?

It's usually something like £75 excess you have to pay here ...

[cromwell]

That's a good result Jan.

If we were fully comp, we would, but because the car is 21, almost 22, our insurance guy said it would be a lot cheaper just to be 3rd party. Breakdown cover is standard anyway, so we were happy paying almost 300€ a year less. So we«ve saved almost 1,000€ since we moved insurance companies.

[TheOstrich]

Ah, I can the sense of that now, Jan, so as Crommers says, in the circumstances a good result!

[meriad]

excellent deal ! and it'll be so much safer driving now as well
