I've never actually been quoted by you, but will be giving you a call this week...ChrisKnottIns wrote:The reason the scheme is so good for the majority is that the insurers resist attracting the riskier cases. The RWD experience is an important rating factor that protects the scheme in this way. We'll be great for you next year I'm sure but sorry we couldn't help you this year.
Oi cheeky I am 34 1/2 and can get in and out quite fine thanks!!!RJS-Z4 wrote:I've never actually been quoted by you, but will be giving you a call this week...ChrisKnottIns wrote:The reason the scheme is so good for the majority is that the insurers resist attracting the riskier cases.

I assume you have a thread with your criteria somewhere?
Oh, you've got to be north of 30??
Surely most people by that age struggle to get in and out of something like a z4?
The 30 age limit is an old one. I've updated the original post to reflect the current criteria (age 25) - viewtopic.php?f=22&t=7451&p=114196#p114196RJS-Z4 wrote: I've never actually been quoted by you, but will be giving you a call this week...

We did update members with the postcode relaxations, age relaxations and bhp relaxations as they occurred.
That's a matter of opinion, gramps!Machine monkey wrote:Oi cheeky I am 34 1/2 and can get in and out quite fine thanks!!!RJS-Z4 wrote:I've never actually been quoted by you, but will be giving you a call this week...ChrisKnottIns wrote:The reason the scheme is so good for the majority is that the insurers resist attracting the riskier cases.

Yeah that's right, you prompted me to check the original post we made on Day 1 and make sure it was now correct. Thanks for the prompt.RJS-Z4 wrote: Thanks for the update, I'll call later in the week.
Knew I wasn't going crazy though, your sticky post:

The thing is I've got RWD experience, over 4 years of owning my own but apparently as it was only a 1.6 (no traction control, ABS, stability control etc) it doesn't count. Can I ask what you class as powerful enough to have owned to count as experience, out of interest?ChrisKnottIns wrote:The reason the scheme is so good for the majority is that the insurers resist attracting the riskier cases.

Are they saying they wont insure you full stop or that you arnt eligible for the forum scheme?thecremeegg wrote:The thing is I've got RWD experience, over 4 years of owning my own but apparently as it was only a 1.6 (no traction control, ABS, stability control etc) it doesn't count.

P.S I'm not expecting you to change your decision, it is just an odd one that I don't understand given that the average hot hatch nowadays has more power than a Z4!
Full stop! Don't think they even asked my age!bluestreak56 wrote:Are they saying they wont insure you full stop or that you arnt eligible for the forum scheme?thecremeegg wrote:The thing is I've got RWD experience, over 4 years of owning my own but apparently as it was only a 1.6 (no traction control, ABS, stability control etc) it doesn't count.
