crazy insurance premiums

Off topic but "Footman James" is the most bizarre name ever. It sounds like some kind of medieval man-servant.

Great just phoned them and they wont do it......

Tip for some of you fellas. Get a traders policy. They'll insure anything at all and all you have to do to stay 100% on the good side of them is add a couple of cars to your policy each year. This can be your mates car, your wife's car, anything. Just get them to put it on the MID for a day and you are now a part time trader. You should pay about £500 a year at the most for a part time trade policy.

Try this lot: http://www.dna-insurance.com/motor-trade-insurance.html there are many others.

I just got mine done at Footman James

Was having trouble finding the 3.4 V6 on most insurance database's, but they just adjusted based on what they thought it should be. Very helpful.

Their original quote was £660 fully comp with breakdown, unlimited mileage and all the extras + protected no claims. But I told them I had a quote of £490 already and they brought down their quote to £467!! Was mucho happy!

They give discount if you mention you are a member of a car club, so mentioned this site.

Insurance

Yes I live in Manchester and we are all thieves and vandals.....also QBE have pulled out of motor insurance as they reckon they were making a loss for every £1 they get in they spend £1.20 So brokers had to shop around, Really p%*s's me off we get ripped off at the pumps and have to pay what we are told and insurance companies just make up there own rules. Still I am happy with current quote as it is cheaper than last years so that is a result...

[BUSHWHACKER]

Usually, if you apply as a new customer the quote is much lower.
