It depends on what way you looked at it. Richie had a theory about his insurance situation and several people disagreed with it saying it wouldn't work.

To actually have insurance named on the FTO on his insurance it was expensive.


Not just a theory... went through 5 or 6 checkpoints... they had to radio cos insurance wasnt directly for the car, but i was fully covered, and was told to continue on my way :D...

Same as what the new owner is doing!

Sorry to hear you sold the FTO Richie

By the way that thing with the doors i dont think its someone trying to break into it. mine does exactly the same thing. the interior light on and the door slightly open the next morning, had a few dead batteries over it at this stage, i dunnno wat causes it :?

If you dont think someone is tryin to get in, think again.. take a close look at the rubber where the window would normaly slip under when shut.. and nicks or unusual wear?? if theres no visible wear, open the door and look at the edge of the window at a few different angles, follow it from top to wing mirror, if you see and shiny mettalic parts, then someone has tried getting in, and succeeded.. theres a fella in limerick, this happened to his altezza.. im not sure why lads are doing it.. maybe they watch them to see if anyone checks on the cars.. im not sure.. have a look and let me know what you find! BTW check both doors. only my drivers door was opened but there where nick on the top of the rubber and down near wing mirror, the pass side had the shiny but on top of the windo but not as much wear on the rubber!
