The Mrs got her car insurance annual renewal from AAMI a few weeks ago.

She promptly phoned AMMI as a new customer enquiry for the same car and got a much better deal.

She paid the "new customer" price, however she still received two notices informing her of the now overdue renewal.

Go figure ?? [}:)]

Yeah i've got 3 cars and home insurance with the same mob, all due at the same time don't know how i managed that each has gone up $100 compared to last year which I thought was a bit suss and why I rang around.

Youi are advertised everywhere so thought i'd try them, was hopeless 30mins to get price on the xr6t and when asked how does this competitive price sound $2200 [:0], reply yeh great thats more then double what im paying. Got the lot for less than that

Going through the getting 120hrs up for Ls with my daughter at the moment.Up until resiliently shes been happy driving my VS Ute but now decided she wants to drive a manual & the only one we have is the RS which up until now she's described as being old,smelly, noisy, ugly,& generally just not very nice.
So after a couple of lessons in an instructors car so she didn't completely destroy the clutch & a little talk to explain how hard the nose would be to replace if we hit anything (that she seemed to take in quite well) we started about 4 weeks Ugo.
Today we passed another L plater going the opposite direction in a new Rav4 or something similar & I said what would you rather be driving this or that? She said this car Dad, it's fun! But if you tell anyone that I'll deny it!

When my son started to drive I tried to get his manual driving skills up and took him to the back streets in the hope he wouldn't have to think (or brake) too quickly. I later (reluctanctly) threw him the keys when he finished work 1 day and he couldn't take off at the lights without stalling - 3 changes of lights later we ran around the car to swap positions. That was the last time he drove my car - short of trying to take it out 1 night when we were away for the night (unbeknown to him I'd removed the rotor button). Car didn't leave the garage but everything was in a different position - he denied trying to take it out but fessed up when I highlighted the evidence.

Spam emails. Seems i might be 800,000 richer.
