ok, thats great. bhp per tonne, the westy wins hands down, as it would on a 0-60 time. if that counts, thats great as insurance up for renewal soon.

Just bought a 3.0 Z4 and it is the first performance car that "I've" owned, however I am a class one advanced police driver and have been driving a volvo s60 T5 for the past year and a half. Would this count??

Yes, I think that would be OK.
Personally, with a Liverpool postcode, although I don't live in the city I think it's appalling that insurance companies apply blanket policies to whole areas. I have had one claim (for vandalism) in the last 15 years and never been involved in an accident that was my fault in 30 years of driving.
I hope one day we see an insurer hook up with the club that looks at individual drivers and their claims history rather than their postcode :x

You do have a point mate, I know lots of places in Liverpool that are perfectly safe (and a lot that are not). Insurance companies on the whole are not fair in that way... I have had less crashes in the last 10 years than my Mum, yet because she is a woman she gets cheaper insurance... I always wondered how they can have male/female as a demographic for cheap insurance, yet they can't do black/white (not that they SHOULD, absolutely not... but what's the difference?)
Sorry they won't do anything for you, I'm sure Tim would work something out on the basis you said if he could, but I'm sure it's not his call. I am quite sure he will pass on your (our) view though.

Funnily enough, the insurers once did make the 'exclusions' to specific postcodes within these areas but it didn't work.

The scheme really took off in 2008 - better than we expected - so thanks to those of you who insured on it.
We look forward to being of service in 2009 as well.

Hi Scott
Sounds OK to me. Give the office a ring!

A little in advance with this query but..
I bought my car in November 2008. I took out a 10 month policy with admiral. That means in September when Im up for renewal, I'll only have 10 months ownership experience of a performance car. I take it you won't be budging on the year's experience?

Hi Tim,
I have a query regarding the performance car... is it purely based on bhp? or 0-60 times?
I am currently with you (Chris knott) but through the VW audi forum.
Whilst my car is not really a performance car as standard, it has been modified with a bhp output approaching 200bhp, its had uprated suspension, larger alloys etc.
I called the other day, as I am looking to buy a Z4 2.5L, however I was told that I did not have enough experience
my arguement is that my current car is not far off in a straight line, perhaps slightly quicker mid range... I have also done alot of high speed driving etc as I used to work for Nissan research and Development, so trips to MIRA test track were common.
Unfortunately If I cannot get insurance with you I will have to leave, which is a shame as so far the experience has been good!
Regards

Can you pm me your name & postcode & i'll check it out please?
Well, 4th March was my renewal... Chris Knott beat the nearest competitors (Swiftcover), like for like (including 3rd party on other vehicles) by over £50
I was expecting a price match, but £50 is well worth having. Like all insurance companies it's not one cap fits all, but well worth a call!

A GOOD REASON TO PHONE US IF YOUR RENEWAL IS DUE IN MARCH!
March is generally one of the busiest months of the year for car insurance.
There are a few reasons for this -
Firstly, the new car registrations come out so plenty of new cars to insure.
Secondly, this means that people who buy new cars, sell their existing ones which are then bought & insurance is needed for them.
Thirdly, a major insurance company went bust in the early 1970's in March which left a lot of people without insurance meaning they had to get new policies immediately. There were long queues outside brokers with people waiting to get covered! This means that many of the affected, older generation still have March renewal dates!
And on a totally personal level, we have just had our record week since we instigated these forum insurance schemes so we must be doing something right!
Therefore, if your renewal is due in March, please feel free to give us a call and don't forget to mention the club scheme reference number found in my signature below or in my initial post which started this thread.
0800 917 2274 or 01580 752961 if calling by mobile.
