Picking up a car later this week that I intend to
knock straight out, on that basis I can get short term
insurance ( 14 days) for £ 170 odd, or I can go
the fully comp for a year at £670.
Anyone know what kind of amount I'd lose if I go the
fully comp route and cancel the policy within 2 weeks?

Or has anyone got any better suggestions, re insurance I
hasten to add?

I've used TempCover before, they provide cover from just 24Hrs upto 30 days cover.

I Paid £15 for 24 Hrs cover on a 96 Honda civic....
