We needed the insurance to get the car home so paid it, and then phoned up to complain, and was offered £250 back if we cancelled the policy. Went on gocompare...

    K11 wheels

    Hello everybody peeps. I have just inherited a K11 from my son who has moved onto something a bit more exciting. My wife is planning on using the car for winter, and to that extent I want to put a pair of winter tyres on the front, and thought it would be easier to do this if I bought a couple...
