Septic

I'm a trainee solicitor so I don't think that would constitute high risk. I hardly cover any miles. Less than 10k on average a year. Nope, just Social Domestic and Pleasure. I'm at HA5.

Looks like you're right. I might have to bite the bullet. Just spoke to Admiral and they couldn't offer anything cheaper. They then referred me to someone else who wasted 15 minutes of my time and quoted me an insurance figure of £1500 with £3000 excess. Bad times

Broke up with my gf a month ago I knew there was a reason to hold on to the heffer for longer (J/k Azzy if you're reading this- I know you're a bit stalker-y) My mum doesn't drive. Are you kidding me? Surely you contested that on the basis that, that is a complete load of bull?

I've been driving for four years- I was on my dad's name in the first year so I didn't amass any NCB. I have no points on my licence and annual mileage is only 8k. I'll definitely give that a try. I live in a relatively quiet area and my dad's insurance is something piddly like £20 a month (if that). I really don't think its a bad postcode area but how do I find out either way? I really am at a loss

Cheers again. Yeah maxi, I went on confused.com and got the following figures (I'm not going to post the ones asking a ludicrous £3k for the excess!): Admiral: 1889.37 (£350 excess) Elephant: 1898.91 (same excess) These two are the cheapest I am getting but I just feel its a bit too much considering what others are getting (e.g Husky). I don't get it Do you guys reckon its worth giving these guys a call? Thanks!

Thanks for the super-quick response guys. Its much appreciated. AFAIK I'm not in a bad postcode area. Sky Insurance did highlight that is was my lack of driving experience with more powerful cars which prevented them from insuring me. Thanks for the info regarding insuring my dad on my insurance. Hopefully that might lower the figures. I've just realised it was Privilege nor Admiral I'll be calling them up now!

Hey guys, I doubt you guys remember me, I did lurk around here a few years ago hoping to get a 350z. Well, after seriously being torn between a Supra TT and a 350z I've finally decided to go for the latter. The thing is, whilst I'm ready to buy a Z, I cannot seem to find a decent quote at all! I was hoping you guys might have some helpful advice. Just a few details: I'm 26, with 3 years NCB (no accidents at all), no convictions and am getting quotes that are around the £2000 mark. Sky Insurance (who I have been with before) won't insure me on the basis that my current car is a 1.4L Polo and the transition to a RWD 280+bhp is quite steep (which it is) and I haven't got the requisite driving experience which is raising alarm bells on their end. Admiral came back with £2k. I've been scouring these forums and have come across some posts of < 20 year olds getting insured for less so I'm trying to remain hopeful that I can get a decent quote. Some of my friends have suggested being named as a second driver on my dad's insurance but I'm oblivious as to the legality of it all (even if he drives the car as much as me). Any help on the matter would be really appreciated Cheers

Get well soon!

Sigh......just went to my car to find that someone's broken into it and stolen my headunit and limited edition fragrances.... I guess the security on some VW's leaves a lot to be desired..... I'm so angry at the moment

That Mk1 is amazing Luke! 4WD conversion??! HOW?! That is a classic and definately worthy of all the accolades it achieved. I love the black and white pictures lol. Adds a sense of history to it all. That is a true sleeper. I would cry if I saw sold that So don't!

Is it in this month's copy of PVW? I've got it lying around somewhere

Wow that looks lush Lee! No surprise its won a lot of awards!

Ah nice Mk1 Andy- Ronal Turbos ftw! Sorry to hear about what happened to it though Here's a few of mine and some pics I took of gorgeous rides at the Westside Show n Shine last year: R32 lump in a MK2! :

Yeah its huge now. The quality of the cars and the sheer number of them is amazing. The community is really tight-knit aswell here in the UK- arguably superior to any other community (including Jap cars- but I still love the latter more)

I can barely type...my stomach hurts so much from laughing. That is genius!! Bookmarking this thread now!
