Just a thought....

Unfortunately I have little to no performance car experience, a couple of driver days in a ferarri and maserati don\'t really count do they?

I\'ve got a slightly tweaked MX-5 but thats only got about 140-150 bhp. everything else I\'ve driven has been pretty bog standard family/company car spec (1.8 petrol, 2.0 turbo diesels)

Now that I\'m old enough (or I thought I was) and have the money to buy a \'performance\' car I find the insurance is still a big problem...

actaully si - i was clobbered by a non insured driver - and because i had fully comp insurance i HAD to claim for it

and i lost 2 yrs no claims because of that

if i was TPFT then yes - i would have had my car fixed

personally i think if people are caught driving with no insurance - they should be taken into the street , shot , and then a bill sent to the parents !

( ok maybe over the top - but i like my rough justice )

i have insured my TII for £250 ish ( i think )

and thats with a rover 414 as an everyday car

i have got no sports car history at all - so i cant see that being much of an issue

oh yeah the price is for 3K limited milage - no convictions - classic car policy and Fully Comp

£425 fully comp - AON. That\'s with no no-claims either - haven\'t had a car for a number of years. Clean licence (essential in my line of work) and zero own-fault accidents. Had to have a Cat 1 fitted plus locking wheel nuts. Had to be in a locked garage overnight too. 5K restricted mileage and I had to have access to another car (wouldn\'t take my bike into account even tho\' I use it every day). It\'s on a classic policy being over 10 years old n all.

Surprised the hell out of me. AND they gave me RAC Gold cover for £50 too!
