esure

Calm down dear it’s a commercial!

Well yes and no, I will be singing the praises of esure, but they have not paid for this. My site hasn’t been taken over by spammer.

It is just that esure have been fantastic! really their customer services and support throught buying my last car, the claim on the accident and all the supportive information has been great.

I can always get through via phone with little hassle, they are just amazing good and friendly.

So next time you insure consider them and also consider protecting your no claims (oops!).

On the car hunt again

Well the Puma is gone, it was written off because of some hidden work that didn’t come up on the check I did on the car. Now I need another car. My first choice is another Puma as I did like the old one and hadn’t gotten it out of my system. Plan B might be a Seat Ibiza, Hyundai Coupe or Mazfa 323F. At this stage I may just buy what I can to get on the road again.

Nooooooo!!!

Driving into work on a slippery Tuesday and the car in front of the car in front slams on the brakes to get into a side road. Unfortunately Audi A6s brake faster than Pumas even with ABS. I didn’t damage his car, bar a scratch. My bumper has been pushed in and the bar behind bent until it touches the radiator heatsink. For the record this is the first time I have ever phoned an insurer for anything other than a quote. I have been driving 6 years.

In better news I now have a working Fridge Freezer. It seems like the time for things to go wrong :(

I am glad though that no one was hurt. James and Susan are just recovering from a bike crash and it makes me value what didn’t happen all the more.

I have joined Project Puma, they are welcoming and very helpful. So if like me you own a Puma get a long there now!
