So? The costs should then be recovered from the party causing the damage.[TW]Fox;16259856 said:

What if there is no third party? What if the owner scrapes it on a post?
What, who's going to recover the costs if some scrote keys it or pushes a trolley into or even does a hit and run?
I'm legally required to wear clothes in public, does that mean M&S have to give me free pants so I don't walk around ******* naked?
Further proof, if any was required, that you live in a total dreamworld.
Erm, it's still the owners responsibility to get the insurance - if they cant afford it or obtain it, then they shouldnt be driving the car on the road. The insurance companies have no obligation to anyone except their existing customers
About the same amount of insurers that quote young drivers £10,000 because they don't want the risk on their books.
A company WILL cover that, just at a cost which is entirely reasonable considering they chose to have a car with that finish.
The time spent whining to the Sun could have been spent just doing a few quotes before dropping a stupid amount of money on a car like that.

I'm also pretty sure insurance companies wouldn't have a problem insuring it 3rd party only... But i know i wouldn't want it 3rd only...

Perhaps they should recover it from the police force for failing to lock of the scrotes

The kind of idiot that buys his wife a chrome-plated mini instead of saving the money for his kids to go to university.
Well unfortunately these things do happen and when you buy something as expensive and attention seeking as this, be prepared to be loaded up on your premiums.
I don't choose to drive around in something like that so why should I have my premiums loaded up for someone who does make the choice?
Errr maybe they could afford both? Maybe the kids don't want to go to University? If they do, haven't you heard of student loans?

How do you know he doesn't have money to send his kids to university?
I should imagine anyone stacked enough to drop nearly £40k on a Mini for Valentine's day isn't worried about having enough to send his kids to uni. I'm sure he'll scrape by somehow.

Does it matter? Wouldn't you agree that there should be plenty of other things on the list between "send kids to university" and "buy chrome plated mini"? It gives his occupation as "builder".
What are you, the money police?
maybe he builds jet fighters? XD the mini is okish.. yes to flashy for most but still not as bad as some of the cars around.. insurance.. well i guess he never looked into specialists.. the ones that insure such things as 200k ferraris or 600k zondas..
