Blimey, you can find an insurance company that talk to you with that lot on!?!!?:eek: Who are they???

Is it a Corolla?

[JohnW]

Greenlight - been absolutely brilliant.

Nope - it's not a Corolla. It is Jap though.

[Bean]

Micra? :)

[JohnW]

Flippin' 'eck that was quick Bean!

Yep - it's her Micra

Ultimate steathly scrabble machine :D :D :D

I tried Greenlight and got an excellent quote, including track cover! The quote I got was an online one, and when I tried phoning them I could not get an answer. Having recently been through a claim I decided to go with another company.

Is it a Sunny GTiR?? D'oh beat me to it...

Helloooooooo John and Jo! Nice to see it's all finished! Can't wait to see the little monster at Pod on Sunday!

[Sam-MicraK11]

Insurance wise... if I've not mentioned it already on MSC, HIC are wicked cos they see mods as a positive thing (means u'r gonna look after your car better according to them) so give em a go!

Good luck with the premium!

Hi Sam,

It's not 100% yet, especially with a slipping clutch - hope it will make it to Santa Pod OK but disappointingly, I won't be running the 1/4 this time. It should be even better when the twin plate clutch and LSD go in. Hopefully, some bigger injectors and an A'PEXi S-AFC will be fitted at the same time.

Shame!

If u fancy running mine then feel free m8y (erm... yeah... like that's gonna soften the blow!)

Seriously tho... I need a decent time and I can't seem to get one so u may have better luck!
