im going to start off with Solihull and then incorporate Birmingham later!


not sure you can be badged for two areas but im certain your car cant be plated for 2 LA's...



Starting in Solihull but then Birmingham.. Not at the same time obviously. :)


good luck with that, changing areas will double your costs and you will need a new car

are you trying to go bankrupt?

my insurance (£950 a year) expires Dec 30th, to swap now to another car just £25 which surprised me, and to change plate to a new car £40 so just £60 in costs, I was expecting a lot more and its half term, so im off and the LO says they can make a plate the same day

Months ffs I thought you was nearly ready to go, waste of time checking insurance prices they'll change by the time you get your licence

£2999 with a telematics system.

Price wise its good but it does feel like 1984 with that telematics system installed...
