[rstoughy]

Hello and welcome :smt039

I'm sure you will LOVE the CSL especially if you get it on track where it's meant to be :supz:

[DuncanR]

Welcome to the forum Bounce and congrats on the purchase, you will not be sorry !!
Just checked my mileage after exactly 2 months to the day and I have racked up 1860 !:bigcry: much of which was out to Ring and return, plus the odd little steady 13 mile cruise through the Fatherland !... oh and the Belgian forests of course ! ... not forgetting the flat wastelands of Bedfordshire. I have just asked for an Insurance quote on basis of 5k per year, same ppl as you are with Shim...mmm... methinks a requote is in order !

Novell and richards do 5track days within policy I found them cheaper than cci

[DuncanR]

Fair enough but U must have a doggy MK postcode ;) as I'm 17 year your junior and in Cambridge postcode. I guess the NCB makes a big difference as I have 17 years worth and CCI managed to mirror some of it onto the CSL, from my other car. Pays off to shop around though :thumbs:. Best of luck.

Thanks for the public reminder about my age Matt !!;)... all we need is T$ to drop by and remind everyone about me becoming a Grandad June next year. The NCB is indeed the big problem, having had the luxury of my Company Policy for years, but if i keep CSL on that, they want about £2,500 ! At the moment it looks like i will go with CCI @ the £728, which may increase with additional mileage, includes 4 TD's. Nowells & Richards didnt want to know when I told them it had a roll cage fitted !! I suppose they take the view still that with that fitted, and better brakes etc. you are going to go faster and be a worse risk ! So they consider its better to do trackdays without a rollcage than with one !! duh! , but in the next breath the guy asked me if I had experience of performance cars before ! (Which in past few years I havent not since I got rid of my old T5 Volvo, which was a good motor too.) He said that would also be a problem ! :banghead:
The thing is though, that my fleet Policy conditions don't mention or exclude the NS :thumbs:

[shimmy]

postcode makes a huge difference


so does being near retirement age :thumbs:

[DuncanR]

Cut us do we not bleed Shim ?? ;)
