Decided on a company

[Davegtt]

After ringing round, I have decided to go for Norwich Union, £1219 Fully comp 10,000 miles a year, Protected No claims.  (I\'m 25)

So I have insured a runabout car for now in prep for my FD!! shouldn\'t be long now

Wow £1219, makes me glad I\'m an old git........

[Davegtt]

I thought it was O.K really considering my little bro paid around 1200 quid for third party cover on a 1L Fiesta when he was 17! And An old git of a mate is paying 1K on an EVO 8 FQ300! and he\'s 46!

And this is a full policy, no second car etc

For others looking for insurance I would suggest the following:

AON - Only if you want limited milage and a second car
Sure term - If you are 30 or over

Norwich union - Seemed helpful and a good quote
Highway - Good quote but no Protected no claims
Chris Knott - Uses AON etc so had to be over 30 for most of the policies

I was 25, had 5 years NCD and was paying 845 with sure term direct, though that was limited to 6k a year.

Exactly mate, I could get it down to 770 odd with limited milage etc, but I want this car to drive, I love to drive and would hate to be limited, plus I\'d always worry about what milage I\'d done so I thought I\'d go for the whole hog so I can drive it when ever I please

My boss is has just got a 911 GT3. Only 40 in uk and he\'s paying 600 quid! Makes me wanna puke. A light cluster on that thing would be double that.

Catch is Porsche are renowned for their reliability, and the parts can be cheap (stock front pads are cheaper than for a MX-5 ! (I used to work with a 993 owner and we\'d done the sad thing of comparing prices), both of which help reduce the cost of premiums.

Mx5 brake pads are from about £30 a pair
