Hehe - small world eh Glenn? I have just moved from Winnersh before Christmas.
Keep up the hunting! Give me a shout if you fancy a ride out to the regional monthly meets any time. I will be going in March, but my old man will be with me then, and hes a big fella, so I can't squeeze him in the back. Should be a good one - at the OPC at J12.
Cheers,
Dave

I haven't even got it yet and I'm spending money like its going out of fashion[:'(] and to top it all the wifes Ka has had to have 4 new tyres and a new exhaust today [8|] typical.
Oh well the MG will be gone soon and I'll have some money back to spend on sorting out the new toy.....can't wait [
]
Anyway the insurance was sorted today with Peart...bloody expensive @ £665 with full no claims and a 500 excess but its the best I've managed to find and believe me I spoken to dozens of companies today including all the popular perfomance car insurers and some Porsche 'so called' specialists, LHD doesn't help but hey as I keep telling myself its a Porsche [8D]. The MG was £580 so not too much more.
Just booked my train ticket online with Virgin @ £17 from Stafford direct to Reading on Saturday so apart from getting across to Finchampstead I'm sorted, hopefully Phil will pick me up so we can whizz around to the P.O. and tax the beast before they close at lunchtime.
Glenn seriously if you want to meet up for a quick chat I'd love to see the R300 if you've got time on Saturday. I'm coming into Reading on the 10am train so should be done and dusted with Phil by about 11.30 just in time for a swift half and a portion of Betty's hot pot before heading oop norf []

Yes Glenn, it would be great to see your R300. It would be a welcome relief at our boggo 911 infested meets! Of course, I hope you have a 968 by then though.
Mike, I am with Peart too - a revelation of decent price and good customer service. I nearly fell off my chair when a real human answered the phone. I wouldn't say 665 was that bad at all. I am the same with regard to NCB and excess, but with 6 pts and I am 28yo, car garaged and unlimited mileage - about 900 quid, almost 500 quid cheaper than last year...
I agree with what you say about Porsche "Specialists"....

Sounds like a good idea, I may be around or I may not depending on what happens over the next day or two. I've taken your advice and got my finger out, Im just hoping I got it out quick enough! []
Ok, so where is cheapest for insurance? I'm old (41) and won't be doing any more than 1000 miles a year... can't you get one of these on a classic policy?

I was determined to spend no more than 10k on a car, but I really want James' and he wanted to sell it to me as he knows I'll care for it. I'm hacked off that I couldn't get to him last weekend as hes now in Oz. Anyway, his father is dealing with it and I want to go over to view next weekend if its not sold. Have a look on ebay, even better, have a look on there tomorrow night at about this time. I will be pulling my hair out []

I don't think there are any hard and fast rules about who is the cheapest - it depends on your situation really. Classic policies are only available once a vehicle has reached 10yo - so 9 months for mine to go! Oddly enough, my car was first registered on my birthday, albeit my 19th birthday... 1000 miles per annum will help to lower the cost a bit, as will the fact that you have 3(?) other cars
