Ramasis were half the cost of what C Nash quoted me - methinks it's a bloody lottery It's actually a casino...the 'house' (underwriters) are taking your bet that you will have an accident where the claim will exceed the premium, plus whatever they can gain from investing the cash. Underwriters spre...

Re: Old Fashioned Fuel Injection
