Right well, y'see, the car we have bought doesn't come with a spare wheel, just a can of gunk stuff. But, it was an option, and a spacesaver, jack and wheelbrace can be got for around £150. Then, there's a panel you can get to raise the boot floor to level with the load lip and in doing so create a little hidden boot under the floor for another £150. Then, I'll want some roof bars for it, they're about £150 too.
Where's that piggy bank?...

The "extra" boot space under the false floor is one reason my Mum likes her Renegade, sorry, FIAT 500L.

Is there some reason why I'm supposed to care that it's really a Fiat? She doesn't, so I don't. I see it as a big Panda actually. Which pleases me a bit.

No, but it'd be poor form if we didn't take whatever opportunity we can find for a wee bit of ribbing. It's only traditional.

That's inflation for you. Everything used to be forty quid, now it's a ton and a half.

Not checked but I think I'm going to hazard a guess at how much more it'll be to get "him" on the insurance as a named driver!
( £200 a year fully comp for just the two of us, which is nae bad. )

Can you get partially comprehensive insurance? 🤓

I'm sure you can if you shop around. Not a very popular choice though you'd think. 🤔

But, would she be doing little random dances?

Saw an old lady driving a Renegade this morning. It looks quite a bit smaller than a Qashqai? Not that that may be of any import to Humph!

Can you get partially comprehensive insurance? 🤓 In the UK possibly not, over here that's what the cheaper element is called, Teilkasko. You have Vollkasko too. Really imaginative with the names, you can't really argue you didn't know what you were buying.
