Right folks, just got myself an iS to pootle about in/track car
need to get her insured asap.
give me your suggestions for insurers, but leave out adrien flux-they wanted Ԛ£300 more than the lowest quote i've had so far (Ԛ£397)
I Have no NCB and 2 claims, probably just gonna go 3rd party Fire and theft, as she aint no looker...
Best Quote i've had so far is from Belldirect (admiral group) and TBH i'd rather not go with them again,
so come on, help a zoner out! and get an e30 tearing up the backroads!

I think 2 claims in 7 years aint too bad-esp the amount of silly miles I do at silly hours of the nightfuzzy wrote:no NCB and 2 claims? my you are a careless chapcant help you though as im with adrian flux and agree with you that they are shtie.ill be changing insurer next month.

I pay 272 with highway insurance through a broker no ncb.
I have 8 years ncb but I use that on my other car (20v turbo sport passat) coz my wife is on that and it would be too much otherwise!

no direct no im afraid,but it was thru swinton/kennets in hull 01482 646364,the only reason I am using highway is because they are not bothered about alarms etc,they must know as well as we all do they are a complete waste of money!
I have 3pts,and i'm 26 btw......

highway are a complete and utter pain in the arse to deal with when you need them, several people in another car forum i frequent have had/have ongoing problems with trying to file a claim. cheap prices, cheap service, it seems.

lol DAZ!
unfortunately, i'll need to limit myself to removing the interior- as she's insured as a normal car
but paid it outright so can cancel it as soon as I pap over to germany
she's light-plenty tail-out action
but tbh sound aint a patch on the m20 tho
