Optimistic.. :lol: :wink:

I will need to get onto looking for insurance too, as I just got my renewal in from CCI for the VX, and it has increased by ~40% :roll: I'm going to phone up and find out how they even attempt to justify that and still keep me as a customer.. :roll:

I know it sounds stupid but EVERYTHING is declared. Don't see the point in not declaring something and letting them wriggle out of a claim
Focus ST estate, i3s and more pushbikes than strictly necessary.

....did i ever tell you about the Evora and VX220 i used to own?

I may try them again at some point but when I listed the Nitrons on teh Elise they ran a mile. Note that's with 12 yrs no claims and minimal points so not I'm not exactly public enema. :)

If you go with Admiral just hope you don't ever need to claim. From experience they are a complete shower of sh*t and I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.

As above. They were cheap when I was younger though.

No particular experience of Admiral from a claims perspective, but I think that most insurance companies are a bit of a nightmare when it comes to making a claim. Unfortunately they have your money and don't want to part with theirs. :roll:

Had two Lotus cars on multicar. Trish had a no fault accident - front clam replaced. ....and the next year the premium on my car went up £300 as well as Trish's premium. Their response to my quiery was that they had to get their money back. I don't know if they still operate it in the same way but I thought it was a rip off.
