You have a V8 be happy! - smiles per gallon.
gets dark up here early and stays dark for longer. Rains most days / nights. Aint much to be smiling about 6 months of the year.
Ah, I am once again reminded of the truth my brother told me about insurance companies. He retired from State Farm here in the US after about 35 years as a bodily injury claims adjuster (a really disgusting job at that) His statement? Insurance is nothing but legal racketeering.

Drive it like you stole it!
as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike but thanks for your effort to add to the chat.

What you don't want to do is indirectly cause a crash or some other type of issue. Let's just say theoretically, someone crashes a car for whatever reason, they say I saw a pink mustang which blinded me with it's light, so I crashed into a speed camera.

The police would investigate that, they would get the details of the pink car, take the car in - then find either person who made the statement was wasting everyones time OR they find it has been modified in a way which does not relate to current regulations and thus - other person argument is now vailed.

They would also check with the car insurance and if the car insurance say's we agreed to ABCD etc mod's - then it's fine, your covered. However, any insurance company will insure anything, they require you to make sure that the car is within the legal requirements of the law.

If said modifications and have agreed to insure it but are not legal they require you to use them on private land and not public roads.

Now if the insurers, turn around and say, we are not aware of any changes/mods, they will end the policy as your acting in bad faith, the police could then seize the pink car since the driver was driving it at the time now without said insurance and settlement & fees would need to be paid to the claimant(s) along with any prosecution that could follow,

This would be passed on to the MIB and recorded - https://www.mib.org.uk/

The pink mustang driver would have to declare that this insurance was cancelled by the insurer for whatever the reason was as provided. That pink car would need good luck finding anyone for insurance policies again for anything, even home insurance etc or even far higher premiums if accepted by any insurers.

The police would take no action as they would be too busy taking action on any offensive comments on Twitter.

And if it’s a pink Mustang the driver will be part of the same rainbow alliance they belong to.

@E=MC2 so i called my insurance company (Ford Insure as it turns out) for the shts and giggles like and asked the question re changing headlight bulbs for LED's. They class it as some kind of spotlight / flasher / non OEM parts and it's a 25quid admin fee to add to the policy -no extra charge on the actual policy.
