I did the same when ibought my new scorpio, iggy pop wanted another 200quid which would have put my insurance over a monkey, so I shopped around a bit (and told a few porkies......ssshh) went back to iggy pop and got it reduced by 98 quid on my original insurance. Which just confirms what I've always thought, they just give you a stupid qoute in the hope you just accept. Rule #1. NEVER EVER accept the first qoute. Btw my insurance is 274 full compliance

Iggy Pop did quite a bit of the soundtrack.

I can understand that. ;D

This might explain ~ 4th paragraph:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2009/apr/29/iggy-pop-swiftcover-insurance-advert-ban

The gist of the ads IIRC is Iggy has such a "full life" he doesn't have time to faff about but can get his car insurance off the Internet in just 30 seconds. Or something like that

HTH

Iggy pop advertises swiftcover with a puppet of himself
