If he had his tools in the van, beating the door back into shape and being able to continue with his work will surely work out much cheaper than having to buy and wait for replacements.

Maybe but at the moment is arguing with insurance as overnight supposed to be on his driveway but he left it at the local pub😠

[C8RKH]

The devil is always in the detail. He'll not win that fight I wager. My two Hethel beauties need to be in my garage overnight for my insurance, obviously, if they are at home. I doubt arguing I left them in the pub car park just down the road would win me any arguments.

Hope he has luck with the approach of the van is usually at home on the drive and this was an exceptional night...

[LotusLeftLotusRight]

Leaving a work van overnight in a pub car-park is probably asking for trouble. Still better than the van driving idiots round here who come charging into the pub car park after work, have a skin full and then drive home again 4 hours later.

I doubt that would cut it. Hope to be proven wrong.

I hate thieving scumbags. Chop off their left hand. Then if they continue to thief, their right hand. Pure scum.

Isn't the phrasing that it's 'usually' at home overnight? If not, every car which is in a hotel car park when people are working away would be uninsured! 

[MPx]

Wording on mine is it needs to be in my garage between 10pm and 6am if within a mile of home.  ie Further afield when we're away would be insured as normal.

No it is not. It is specifically worded that, for instance, if the car is at home and you have said it is garaged, then it needs to be garaged between the times specified.

I think the question will be how far is the pub from home, and if it is walkable, I think the insurance co will try to wriggle out.

The "away on business" thing is a red herring @bibs - the clause is around where you have declared the car will be parked at home, overnight. Otherwise, as you say it would be a bloody stupid situation.

Just remember that if away at a hotel for work - then be careful.

social domestic and pleasure with commuting - that covers to a single place of work usually and not hotel stays. Better just mentioning it was a tinder hook up if the worst were to happen.

[C8RKH]

That's a very good point @Barrykearley and I've found that adding "Business Use" to my fully comp has not added anything on to my premium for my DD or for my Evora. I limit the "business" miles to 2k per year and did it for when I needed to leave the car at the airport for when travelling to/from business meetings.

I posted this guys review of the Esprit in the Esprit vid section here Esprit Review

Here are his thoughts on the Elan +2 

 

[USAndretti42]

He didn't like it, then.  Sounds like the suspension needs rebushing.

[ChrisJ]

He's sound like a bit of a knob, and I'm not sure how you can call a 40 second clip a review.

He didn't like the Esprit either - didn't enjoy driving it, feels bit unstable, so low down, horrible noise. Not sure he is

TVR Chimera - not much room inside, I won't bother starting it up, it is loud and unpleasant.

Corvette Stingray - nice to look at, feels unstable, dated.

Porsche Spider 718 - hard to drive

Rover P5B - Nice "little" old car.

 

[Bibs]

Someone buying a camera and pointing it at their face doesn't make them a journalist. Sums up most of youtube car reviewers in my opinion and this knob especially. Any content is clearly a waste of 1's and 0's.  

[mg4lotus]

I think it's irony. He's taking the mick out of those influencers who are gushy, smiley, gushy, smiley about a product.

[Escape]

He needs to work on his skills, a lot LOT, to make that pass for irony. As it is, he's just proving what a knob he is.

[USAndretti42]

I did wonder whether he was doing it for a joke but, if so, he isn't doing it very well as he just repeats himself.

On paper the new Defender has a greater wading dept than the old ones, but I know which one I'd trust to take the plunge! 🙂
