No such thing tbh mate, the only thing to do is ring all of them as it's hit & miss with all of them.

Chris Knott, Brentacre, Sky Insurance & Greenlight are all very helpful & have been very good for me over the years, but you have to remember that despite them being good for me they could still be utterly useless for you

If it helps, i'd set up a policy for that one I'm complaining about. I paid £275 for a second car policy with Keith MIchaels insurance. They were good for me. Adrian Flux and Performance Direct were next in line.

Because its a group 17 mate compared to the 7 the Zetec is and yes it's only a 2.0 but the car is very light that's what make them so quick to :)

Yeah I suppose I better dream for a few more years yet, I want a Williams 1 as a project and I was wondering what willy 2s are worth with 110k on clock and file of service history?

I'm 20 mate, just about to renew mine. Will have the same no claims too (touch wood!!!). I'm with elephant.. car is standard but has has cat 1 alarm and immob. Mine has come out as £1100. Still ridiculous but nothing on 4k!! Elephant have been real good for the last couple of years to be honest.

Cheeky bastards! In my defence mine is the 3.0si Coupe so it's not a fully fledged gay boy's car!

Think the 0-60 is about 5.6 seconds so not bad for a hideous, slow, fat, ugly car ;)

tbh mate, BMW's in general make me wretch, the Z4 just imo takes the fail biscuit

but end of the day, its horses for courses isn't it, I drive an 18 year old poorly executed French rust bucket with far too much power for its own good. but all that matters is I love it and what anyone else thinks of it is irrelevant in my eyes ;-)

Bullshit! You loved Kieth, he is an E30 so it's understandable lol!

Graham sykes cover me, 1 years no claims 7.5k miles of driving, down as having a modified exahust as it being modified makes it a damn sight cheaper. That comes to 647 i think, plus for limited mileage policy it does give no claims, which classic policies dont.

Nah, it's all about the 4 pot 318is', not quite as much power as the 6 pots (140bhp) but the weight saving makes it epic win. I really want 1 on itbs as a track car
