you make me sick with 275!!

ady flux quoted me Ł908 for 3000 miles TPFT which i think is bloody good considering my age! no1 can match that yet & brentacre told me to go for that if its real.

would defo recommend brentacre for modifyed cars - they werent too good for me for standard which is how im keeping it. but 1380 is bloody good including a stage 2 chip & all mods up to 210bhp!

I think all insurance companies go thru the cheap stage to boost their buisness. Then bump up the price the year after hoping silly sods will just automatically renew as they think they wont get a better deal. HIC were cheap for my xr2 about 7 years ago but then went sky high. Then a year ago i bought my s1 and got it insured for about 300 quid with agreed value of 6k. Looks like they have gone again

Rob, Melv, etc - bastards!!!

cheers for the advice peeps - will ring round some more tomorrow now. only thing is being under 21 not a lot of people will even quote me. was hoping for a quote from greenlight - does any 1 know if they will make an exception for me??

will try HIC i think - seeing as some peoples renewals arent bad - they can only say no. just guna have to wait for a few hours for him to call me back!

I heard that HIC was hit with a massive claim which included a personal injury claim aswell , this could be the reason for rubbish quotes?

They quoted me Ł387.50 tpft with zero no claims on a standard RS
Still gonna see if i can get cheaper than that in the morning,if not then it looks like Sterling will get my money.

May have got a slight discount though as its a 3rd car

thats true about hic. the guy told me some 20yr old crashed his cossie and the claims and injury claims caused hic to lose all the money it had made up. i told the guy it was more fool them insuring a 20yr old on one in the first place coz now its fooked it up for everyone else. im 21 and been drivin 3 and half yrs with no crashes or points but been on parents and have a 1.8si escort, yet hic tell me i have to have a yrs no claim for them to insure me on a 1.8 cabriolet, wen i wanted one a little while bk in the nice weather. how stupid!
