Was thinking about doing a wiki thing in the Marche Clubhouse about top tips ie if we find somewhere that may be of use to others - like where to fix strimmers or where to get a bargain on wine or a good spot to visit etc What do you think.

Thanks Valentina - I know I didn't push the button more than once, but was wondering about if you add it to two or more different topics, so that may well be the cause!

Have sent you a message with a couple of ideas Donna and Jimmy - you will love Le Marche - it is really beautiful and we were just saying the other day that some parts are so much like New Zealand!

Hi Jacquie, We always drive down to Le Marche via Austria - love the route, even though it is slightly longer. The quickest we did it was 25 hours from North Yorkshire to Amandola non-stop. The route avoids Switzerland (we had problems at the boarder there once and it took 2 hours to empty the car and re-load it again, even though it was just bits of furniture we were bringing!). We go through France, Belgium, Luxumbourg (fill up with the cheapest fuel we have found anywhere, just off the motorway), Germany, Austria (via the Brenner Pass) then down past Lake Garda - itis a lovely, varied drive and doesn't get too boaring. There are some great hotels just off the Brenner Pass and the Austrian food is just wonderful - we also call in at the supermarket to stock up on supplies of hauswurst and other delicious bits and pieces we don't have here in Le Marche on the way down. Let us know if you want more details of our route. Happy driving!

Thanks Penny - just tackling the car insurance again and it seems there are 2 boxes for the Bonus/Malus

 

Classe CU (Bonus/Malus) di provenienza

 

or

 

Classe CU (Bonus/Malus) di assegnazione

Sorry but do you put 9 in both as it won't let me continue without filling both boxes in.

 

Many thanks.

Carole, thanks so much - new I could rely on you! That sounds perfect. It was very sad as Vince left Italy for the UK when he was 6 I think, and never returned. Such a shame he did not see more of this wonderful country.

Thanks Angie - bought one of the plain cards yesterday and have attached a flower to it, so hopefully that will be ok.

Thanks so much Carole and Ram - had a quote for Italsure and it was €1261 - Direct line, so far around €800 but then I am probably not putting in the correct bonus/ malus figure. Looks like I need to call my UK insurer to find out what confirmation I can get from them. Will carry on trying!

So if I have been driving for 23 years and never ever claimed, but only changed insurers this last year, will they ask for proof and if they do, how can I prove it? Thanks for your advice.

 La classe CU di Bonus/Malus ha beneficiato dell’agevolazione prevista dalla “legge Bersani” Not sure about this bit either! Thanks.
