Where is my quote then? lol im the honest one getting punished for it!

No quote because they cannot sell you it.

Its like going into KFC, asking for a big mac, KFC cant sell you it, you dont have a fully enclosed garage, shannons cant sell you a product.

Simple.

because im paying less premium with just car.

how much are your premiums because when i was with both JC was dearer on both counts, but i ams older than your so get teh cheaper insurance no matter who im with

I rang Shannons today and told them that i now have a Cams licence, and they gave me more discount :ermm:

yeah they told me that too if i had cams my insurance would be cheaper, what club did you join

Here's the deal with Shannons:

They DO insure under 25's.

All our cars are classed as high performance (damn straight) - so they gotta be in a fully enclosed, locked up garage. Anything else is a no go. Don't lie about this, firstly it's illegal to, second if you have a claim they will investigate where you have been keeping it.

If you don't drive the car as often, you can pay less premium if you tell them. They have different usage categories, so your car can be a daily drive, or you can drive it a couple of times a week, or a couple of times a month. If you have if off the road for a chunk of time you can let them know that and they change your insurance to something called "laid up cover". This means that it's fully comprehensively insured as long as it's not being driven under it's own power. This laid up thing also covers accidental damage you do to the car yourself!!

i.e. car is off the road for some engine work, you drop the engine through the sunroof, you're totally covered. Laid up premiums are also very very low.

If you're under 25 your excess will be higher, but nowhere near $2500 like with some of the others.

You also get full choice of repairer (only the best) and lifetime guarantee on repairs, so if your panel beater does a slightly less tahn perfect job, Shannons will pay for it to be fixed again.

One replacement window or windscreen per year with NO EXCESS.

Pay by the month and it doesn't cost you extra.

I've got both cars and the contents insured with Shannons as well. Had 2 claims this year, no paperwork, over the phone, great service.

I have the new car through shannons as they offered the best coverage.

One thing that kills me about customers is when they are just comparing prices.

Comparing insurance prices is like looking at a yaris and a R8 audi. Yes the yaris is cheaper but what good is it as a sports car.

cheap insurance is cheap for a reason!!

anyway

I'm 24 pay $1200

with a 800 excess

agreed value 40K

rating 1

ohhh and after working in car insurance for the last 10 months i'm glad i only deal with marine insurance.... car owners are w@nkers!!

So true mate

now paying $131 a month for $13,000 worth of coverage with a $900 excess with Shannons as opposed to...

... $141 a month for $9,000 coverage and a $2,000 excess with Famous. much happy with the new cover. took about 20 minutes til it was all sorted. stoked.

dude who handled it was awesome, very patient despite my not knowing basically anything and constant running around to find details, very helpful, explained everything i wasnt quite sure about as opposed to all the people ive had at h2p, justcar, and famous who have dismissed any questions and told me to read the policy when i get it. much awesome. will probably be signing the magna up with them for insurance also as they quoted less than the raa did.

Good to hear we could look after you mate, you spoke to Damien, he is one of our best, drives an evo 6.

Plus I've never met anyone who didn't think our service was the best they've ever had.

Cheers.

    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number. 
    • Hey guys, looking for these side skirts if anyone can help me out. 
    • Wife and I are still looking for a new home. One condition was a large enough garage for a full-size lift in one bay. Now if only we could find something... We've been looking for almost a year now.
    • Thanks everyone for the ideas! Sadly, ramps are a no go for me. With young kids at home, I do most of my work late at night while they're sleeping. Starting the car multiple times wouldn't be a great idea.  I'll go see one of those new long reach low profile jacks and take a couple measurements to see if they will fit.
