Insurance brokers were calculating how much it would cost to insure Bond in his Aston Martin. "Hah", says Adrian Flux, "We'd much rather insure Borat". We see their point, and their trousers aren't even falling down!
"Never mind all the media hype about a slick fashion clothes horse like Bond,", mused our mate Gerry Bucke from his jacuzzi, chewing his Cuban, with a hot bird on each arm. "If you wanna get some proper insurance cred, try insuring Borat!"
Bond drives expensive supercars, but Borat has an old, thoroughly fucked up ice cream van which is used chiefly for transporting bears. It seems obvious that that ejector seats and missiles would put a rocket under Bond's premium. But what about Borat's beat-up shitheap? Let's start with the No Claims Bonus- Bond's been crash-free since 2002, so that's four years' worth to set against his decidedly dodgy accident record. Borat only just passed his test (HOW?), and has no experience whatsoever. Riding horses and prostitutes obviously doesn't count.
Flux says they'll insure any car and any driver: "We've got policies for modified cars and for high performance ones, so Bond would be no problem," said Gerry, finishing his Martini, before using a pair of swift Karate chops to dispatch of two Ninjas sent after him by a competitor's insurance company. "Borat's more unusual. We do cover ice cream vans, but he might be better off going for a grey import policy, or maybe a kit car scheme. Whatever, we should be able to sort something out."
And guess what - they bloody well did! "For Bond's Aston Martin DBS, we reckon about £3,750", claims Gerry. "For Borat, around £900 should do it. Hell, we'll also add Azmat, Borat's porky sidekick TV producer, to the policy for free."
So now we know.
