This Is The New Recipe Chat Thread...

just got off the phone with Shannons Insurance...

Not impressed.

1st - they don't know my car. That's fine, not many people do.

2nd - after telling them every little bit of detail about my past infringments/mods etc he comes back and says "we can't insure you because your car has too many mods. It needs to be in a garage"

3rd - I told him as I'm moving to a new house soon which HAS a lockup garage, can he give me a quote. He goes for another 10 min and then comes back and said "no, we can't give u a quote until you've moved into a house with a garage".

I guess I need to ring up again and lie just to get a f**king quote. idiots...wasting both our time. If they don't/can't want to insure me just f**king say so from the start...

Thank goodness JCI's online portal is so easy to use...

They should; several other forum members are insured with them. I had no issues.

I've heard of this before; I think it really depends who you get on the line when you ring, try again.

Bye stagea people, I no longer own any nissans, Just moved interstate and didnt sell the bucket(accent) in time so will just keep it for a while and not have anything fast(also to much cool shit coming out in the next year to buy new now!), I seem to get the train to work anyway and its better to have something I can park at the station and it uses f**k all fuel.

Farewell.

Agreed.

I have been with Shannon's since day 1... which literally was day 1 for M35 Stagea's!

Jethro - The dude you got will be going by Redbook which only states ARX models last time I checked.

Strange as I have never had any issues with any of the Shannon's people I have spoken to.

Also odd is that there isn't a limit on mods... just some of them will bump up your premium considerably (turbo, boost controller, engine management are biggies).

Maybe you got a new guy on a bad day? Dunno. Try them again.

Maybe...

Funny too - the guys said "since your car has so many mods it needs to be in a garage..." and "we'll need to having driver restrictions since its a very hi powered vehicle...."

I didn't even tell him any power figures! meh...

I might try again when I've moved into my new place I guess.

[iamhe77]

lol... wtf?

I thought they were all car enthusiasts? What a strange thing to say.

[zei20l]

i had no problems with mods either, put around 8-10k of mods on the car and premium went up around $200 per year i think

yes ALL imports need a garage with shannons, locally delivered cars dont. which is weird, my fiat is probably more rare than the stagea, and i dont have to garage it.......

washed the stag on the weekend

I cant believe how shiny it is when you wash it after a month (or so) worth of dirt!!!

(but then I see all the little bits that need detailing too )

[BigDirtyJase]

Oh...I should wash my car.....I haven't given my car a wash in about 2 months....let's just say a mate of mine goes to me....your car is turning cream (it should be pearl white)....that's how long I haven't washed it for...it's been either too cold or raining to get it washed
