Here's a wired one.  The insurers are cheaper if my car is in the drive and not garaged, due to an increase in claims on people (idiots) crashing their cars whilst parking the cars in the garage or opening their doors and damaging the car??  Takes all sorts I guess...

Whatever you do don't go with Elephant. I know a number of people who have had a claim with them and they're nae use when you need 'em.

Again part of the Admiral group but a sort of no frill insurance. You can delete things from the policy that you think you may require. Beware though....

Funny you should say that, I just got their quote through this morning.  Very competitive, I may actually go with them.

Once again thanks for all the input guys, there's money to be saved on fishing around the insurers, that's for sure.

Yeh your right the sig gives the game away.  I'll be at the Polished Bliss thingy with my new motor , that's if I haven't lost my licence by then! 

Those M3's are evil - they make you drive fast.  Hit over 110mph on the test drive... oops!

If I remember correctly protected no claims allows you x number of claims per year without affecting your premium. After x claims you lose your NCD (or some of it). Guranteed is just like it says on the tin - guranteed so you can claim as many times as is necessary in a given year without it affecting your NCD. I`m sure there is a limit though.

What are good classic companies as Admiral say they'll only pay out book value on the M3 which I take to mean not much.
