What Have You Bought Today?

Hopefully reduce the insurance? Where's our insurance correspondent @Bav when you need him?
As a general rule, I don't think insurers given enough discount for people who take vehicle security seriously, much like they don't give enough discount to those with advanced driver qualifications. Those b*stard insurers!!

HGV 40+ years

Sadly, 'tis true - insurers should be actively encouraging and rewarding continuous driver development. There are far too many for whom passing the standard driving test is the pinnacle of their driving ambitions.
 
Fortunately LV did skim a little of the premium for me, but not enough to warrant buying the tracker, that was more for my peace of mind.

We get all sorts of discounts with 'our' blue light card! Never go anywhere without it!
 
My insurance sent me a little tracker in the post and insisted I fit it to the van
 
Bought these wolfrace x10x the other week but had the tyres fitted yesterday at Costco. Very pleased with my alloy choice, just needs lowering next . A side note I highly recommend Costco for tyres, their fitters are the best I've come across, they even tried to swap the VW centre caps from my old wheels (without me asking) now that's attention to detail. They didn't fit sadly but at least I know that now. Just little things that show they take a interest in their job , unlike most fitters I've used before.
