So, the insurance for my 5.9 litre V8 classic Jeep is soon up for renewal. Last year, my premium was about E90 for the year and renewal cost is almost double that so I decided to check around to see what else was on offer.

The ACP which is the Portuguese version of the British Automobile Association has a classic car section and they've just offered me similar cover for just E40 per year....... how's that for a terrific deal!

Quite how the UK insurance companies can get away with charging thousands of pounds per year is simply beyond my understanding! LOL!

based on their immigration policy, I expect.

We have a similar issue here in Idaho due to the 30-million+ illegals in the US.

That idea hadn't even occurred to me but I guess you could well be right.

I've just heard from a friend of mine in the UK and he tells me it costs him UKP600/US$900 a year to insure his 1.6 litre Ford that was made in 1996 over there!
