After reading about some of the insurance quotes on here, i decided to have a ring around. I am insured with Tesco at the moment and even managed to get my daughter (aged 20 )covered for the drive back from Le Mans. £23 for 3 days fully comprehensive. On arrival at home my son (aged 22) asked me to get him insured for a few days,i rang Tesco and was told he had to be 25 .I told them about my daughter and was told it was a mistake and underwriters say 25 minimum.
So quick call to MCE, yes they can insure my son from 23 ( 2 months time) . £60 week fully com, my premium has dropped from £1000 to £697 which includes 90 days abroad, for which i had to pay extra with Tesco also if it ever needs repairing i can choose the garage!

Just got a quote from A PLan,,,£639. £250 excess,90 days foreign cover. This is the one i have taken out. £360 cheaper than Tesco and foreign travell included. nice one. And i can get my son insured from aged 22.

Good to hear,ive found MCE most helpful in the past and they even added a friend on recently to take my vette to Le Mans for £48.

Stevenage are worth looking at aswell and at times have beaten MCE on quotes.

Just got a quote from Stevenage for GBP335 for November. That said, my son is keen to drive the Camaro when it gets back. maybe MCE is the way to go if I can get them to reply!

MCE got back to me today and the quote for the new Z06 is now £1,500. They are still trying to get a lower quote so I'm waiting for another call back.

Maybe I'll go to Tesco, at least I can pick up a pork pie in the process ...

A-Plan have just got my modified car business. seem to know what they arec talking about. Spioke to a girl who asked the power of the supercharger and I told her 462bhp. She asked if that was on a dyno and I said no, that was the claimed figure using the supplied tune. Most would go "What does that mean?". LOL.

Good news! Just done the insurance renewal on my C5 with an excellent result. Staying with Adrian Flux for less than £400 so well pleased.

Just don't ask what we're paying on a car for my son to drive.....
