The last hurdle

Hey folks,

Had a night-before episode today. Car pickup was tomorrow, was waiting on GIO to give me a letter saying my NCB so I could organise comprehensive insurance for tomorrow.

Letter and fax were pending but neither arrived. Gave a call, and they are like "sorry you don't have a no claim bonus" and I'm like WTF?!?!.

They told me I had a 20% NCB a few weeks ago, and the guy elaborated it's just an "internal" NCB because I am not the policy holder on my Pulsar policy (my parents are). So I'm like can't you just say "Tim's internal NCB is 20%"?? And he was like no, I can just say who the policy is with and you are a named driver with no claims.

F$#K! I thought. Anyway I said fine, please fax it asap. I faxed it onto Famous Classic along with my application, picture of car and covering letter. Tommy accepted it! I was so happy. So even though I was just a named driver, because I had no claims they accepted that and I got my 20% NCB via Famous Classic.

That was the *LAST* hurdle, the car is fully paid, insurance is fully paid and the car is registered and waiting for me to pick it up tomorrow :)

Just thought I'd share my story because I know pretty much everyone has problems with insurance, so this might be a glimmer of hope for you guys who ruled out even trying to get insurance because you're not the policy holder.

Cheers,

Tim

      GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣

      Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      No, so what happened is. I put a bunch of filler then I sanded it all down, I removed all the filler (unintentionally), then I put the epoxy primer on because that section of the panel is bare metal. The car is parked outside so I needed to protect it in the meantime incase it rains.

      It’s definitely an import, the Aussie ones have reflectors in the rear bar, it’s also a turbo which none of the Aussie one were.    I remember back in the day I want a twin turbo z32 so bad and then I saw a 32 gtr and that was the end of that lol
