I'm paying £29 a month for the Sammi all mods declared.

The KJA was £145 last quote I got. Be about the same. £15 a month by the time they ad interest on.

Growing old has to have some benefits, not balding yet but my natural colour is badger grey.

Sounds about same as mine dan but I paid mine upfront. Hopefully will stay the same this year. It should be cheaper really. It's not like we're boy racers
