See, that's kind of the problem. If I swap out my license for a UK one, it has a brand new date of issue, so all insurance companies will assume that I've just now passed the test. I have experience, but the UK won't take it into account because I wasn't a named driver, because in my country there isn't such a thing - you insure the car, not the driver. Hopefully the prices are gonna start dropping once I've had insurance for a year. The UK has so many cool and fairly affordable cars in the used market, I just don't fancy paying sums with more than 3 zeroes for insurance.

Not to hijack the thread - OP, your Ferrari is awesome and I'm insanely jealous.

Remember that you don't have a choice about swapping your licence. If it's from the US or a similar third country non eea you have 2 years from arrival in the UK after which you are no longer licensed to drive. Book that test!

Try Footman James or Sureterm (?) or another specialist broker in the interim.

Since this is about eyetie cars - you should be able to insure a Panda 100hp for something like the same rate as the Skoda. Don't forget the Ragazzon catback and de-res pipe for that Council sound.

Both the original targa top and the "tonneau" canvas storage flap are gone. This thing:

Maybe they got seriously damaged somehow? Though the flap would have to be wrecked to be unusable. Maybe they got stolen? That'd suck.

Capot, Capotte or Capote? That's some proper old-school Italian quality control - they sell you a $100k+ or whatever car, but they can't be bothered to proof read their own manual. Or alternatively the three guys in charge of headings, captions and body text just agreed to disagree because :italy:

But why the dangling suspenders? Is he about to have sex with the cooling fan?

Porsche Unleashed is still my favorite racing game, bar none. :blush:

Truth and I still want a 914/6 because of it. Unfortunately I think original /6s all cost more than OP's Ferrari these days?

There was a period a while back where I had a huge bruise or something that made it painful to sit on the saddle, but I have no idea now if that had anything to do with my current condition.

It seems like any kind of exercise helps me resynch to my nerves better, but it's very fuzzy trying to draw that correlation.
So far, riding a bike isn't hard, since my sense of balance isn't affected, even if my ability to stand and balance on my legs is slightly degraded. Since you use your whole body to steer the bike, it's easier that way.

Right now, 50% of my waking hours are symptom free, but it seems to be creeping up.

I had something very similar a long time ago that turned out to be basically stress and a lovely job. Turns out you can get actual physical symptoms from poo poo like that, not completely imaginary ones.

Listen to your doctors and don't assume that you have a medical condition until they tell you so.
