      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Good afternoon all, <br />
My name is Shane aka Shane-a-Ru <img src="styles/skype/smiley/emoticon-0100-smile.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" /> and just wanted to say hello. <br />
I found out about LADS from Chris after visiting CAMs in Darwen today for help reprogramming my spare key and Chris sorted it in  less than 10 minutes  <img src="styles/skype/smiley/emoticon-0103-cool.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" /> <br />
It was a blessing in disguise because otherwise I may not of found “Mr Subaru “ Brian and my now go to garage having just purchased my 55 plate Impreza WRX wagon. <br />
Cheers for now and happy Scoobing <img src="styles/skype/smiley/emoticon-0102-bigsmile.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" /><img src="styles/skype/smiley/emoticon-0102-bigsmile.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" />]]></content:encoded>

<br />
Are we going to open the gates to more variations of cars as we see the decline in the Subaru&#039;s daily. and people are leaving hand over fist. I know myself haven&#039;t re-joined yet but will but we could fill the car stands with a variety of sports vehicles ranging from BMWs to Ford RSs and may others expanding the group and also increasing the club funding .<br />

<br />
As anyone had a Insurance renewal letter over the lockdown period? <br />
Because today I got my and I&#039;m very shocked about it <img src="styles/skype/smiley/emoticon-0104-surprised.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" /><br />
So here some basic facts below for people to work out <br />
<br />
 - Everything the same on the policy<br />
 - No extra mods<br />
 - No claims made<br />
 - + 1 year no claims on top of the rest<br />
 -  it&#039;s not a daily driver car too<br />
<br />
So I&#039;m  shocked about a 23% increase <img src="styles/skype/smiley/emoticon-0121-angry.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:" /><br />
As anyone had sharp increase on their insurance ?]]></content:encoded>
