Decided for a laugh to have a little ring around for different
insurance cover as we've top'd 25K value on Grumble now and our
existing insurers were getting twitchy about how much we were doing
and/or spending...

This coincided with my decision not to leave Grumble on our 'all
vehicles' policy. Quotes ranged from fecking ludicrous to downright
obscene (I tend to go into ALL of the changes and mods in great
detail, then follow this up in writing - I don't trust insurance
companies).

I'd nearly decided to leave 'as is' and accept the hike in premium,
but had to call a mate who also has a somewhat modified 101. "Try
NFU" was the commendation. I'd always thought they were somewhat icky
but thought it worth a few minutes of the work phone bill - so gave
them a call...

All mods accepted, 100 quid excess, Any driver over 25, No claims
protected, fully comp, unlimited milage, worldwide cover = 300 quid.
I've never paid for anything as quickly!

my beloved 101 "Grumble", at: http://www.101fc.net

Hmmmm...

And now the horror stories. It's just taken me TWO YEARS to get my NCD
back - all because some silly tart didn't know how a roundabout works. I'll
tell you about it at Billing

I removed Piglet from them and gave him to Adrian Flux.

Person on the roundabout has right of way ?? Idiot coming in from right but
not yet on island assumes they have right of way because their line of
traffic is entering the rounabout at the time ?? Know it well. Came to a
roundabout near us as usual indicated to turn right ( 3/4 of way around )
stupid blond in a play 4x4 Vitara decides to pull straight out across my
bonnet. Swore ( as usual ) and told her about her ancestory etc. Got back
home and found the idiot sitting in our kitchen, turns out it was wifes
friend ( who needs enemies ) oh ! was it you, did'nt see your indicators (
needs glasses to see front flasher and repeater. ) Perhaps I ought to change
the front flasher to a real one that gets her attention ! ( oh was it you
"hanging" around at the roundabout ?? )

'nother idiot at a two lane junction pulls slightly into my path and gets
sliced up by my side steps, pulls up to exchange to find out he's driving a
courtesy car from a ....... body shop ( wonder why ? ). Bent side steps/
sliced up bodywork; well I suppose he won't drift in front of another car
again.

Just got back from a trip to Venezuela and I would SWEAR that the buses
there have KNIVES on their wheel hubs, and I am not kidding in any way -
they really only could be there with the intention of ruining someones
entire day. Un-f6&*()_)-believable.

No probs here with adrian flux, but never had to make a claim either...
Still, trusted them enough with the Disco, who were cheaper then *everyone*
else that I rang. NFU wont touch because SWMBO hasn't yet had her licence
for 3 years....

Adrian Flux have even been sensible about her SJ. Listed the mods and they
want less than £400 fully comp (less than 3 years driving, never had her own
outright insurance). With a bit of misfortune it may be at Billing, if the
lightweight restoration takes second place (which it wont)
