Franky, why did Shannons 'pull the plug'?

just out of nowhere you got a letter saying they won't cover you any more? if so, what was their reasoning?

i got a speeding ticket and lost four points last year...

they would not renew the policy any more....according to this woman on the phone, i am a dangerous driver to the rest of the community...

just cars is about 600 dollars cheaper, but only agree to insure mine for 43gs..while shannons used to insure mine for 46gs...

never made a claim, never had anything...i should be on rating 1 now as well...

they said once i turn 25 and been clean for a while, i can call them back...i doubt that will ever happen...

remind you i had three policies with them at the same time...now i have cancelled them all...

That he told them the truth and they accepted that? Nothing strange there..

What is strange, and unacceptable is the large variation on insurance quotes BY THE SAME PERSON for the SAME CAR merely due to the time a person called. I don't even know whether that is legal..

And which company you basing this on?

Can you elaborate on that please?

Most of them, my own experiences with justcar, and pretty much a post in every insurance thread stating the wide variation people get when they speak to insurance company. "Sorry we can't insure you" or "to insure will cost you $xx"... person calls back, speaks to somebody else "sure we can insure you, it's $yy".

It's like if I walked into a shop and asked for a loaf of bread, and was given 3 different prices depending on which person was behind the counter.

It is probably not illegal, but just silly..

as I have posted MANY times - each person has their OWN different risk

Alot of factors determine peoples premiums

I can garuntee that if you rang the same company, different days with same situiations - you'll get same price

but comparing you and me for example - is like comparing an xbox 360 game to a commodore 64 game

MASSIVE difference!

Shannons will insure under 25's....

i'm insured with them for agreed value, with all my mods, and i'm 23

hi there.. how did u get shannons to insure you? when i tried to get my 34 under them.. the guy on de phone said that they don't cover imports n i have to call just cars or young n cool..

cheers

hahahaha

you sure it was that they said?

man - everyone seems to have a bad story here!

*grabs another beer*

traman18 - please read post 46 - just 4 posts up

yes sire, but I had asked people for an average price. goes without saying that it will vary, depend on various factors, but an average price wouldnt hurt... would it?

I did find today tho that RAA in SA have a division that cover "normally uninsurable cars" but its only open to SA residents. Dore underwriting cover imports too but want $2900....hahahahaha that more then double what i pay now

interesting....

how long between losing the points and getting the letter saying they won't insure you any more?

was your insurance up for renewal when you got the letter?

I signed up with Justcars and they gave me a rating 1 even though i probably should have been on rating 6. Been driving for over 5 years so they told me they would be glad to give me a rating one since i've been dringing so long. They never mentioned anything about speedding fine even though i have a few; havent had any for over 2 and half years but anyway they never mentioned if i had any. This is for a stock 97 skyline r33 gtst. I'm 23. Insured for $14k. Insurance cost me under $1200

Five years! Wow, that is a long time! :)

Read your agreement - the onus is on you to declare. They will happily take your money until you have to make a claim. Then they'll investigate, find your fines and decline your cover.

its about a few months...

and yes as the renewal letter came in, i received a call at mean time telling me they are unable to renew my GTR's policy. but i was more than welcome to insure my camry and my property with them

its all history now...just cars is as good...

this is the main reason why i wanna sel my car and just buy a normal car to drive around...

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
