This chap seems incapable of getting such a quote.
As would I, classic policies won't meet everyone needs, and not every meets the criteria they require.
I've yet to find a classic policy to suit me.

What's made you grumpy today?

I had trouble with a classic policy that meant if the car was parked at my house it wasn't insured, so technically if I went to the lock up, got the car, but had to nip home, whilst I was in the house and the car was on the drive I wasn't insured!
Useless ****ing agency! Not paying me 3 days holiday last week so only getting paid for the 2 days!:bang:

Alfa-gate day eight. He's not coming to collect the car today but now has insurance (got a uniformed colleague to verify this) and rail ticket to King's Lynn due to arrive tomorrow morning at half eight.
I'll be collecting him in the Fantasia, driving him here for the car and he can tax her at my local Post Office on the way home.
Pain in the cheeks and selling the car at a £150 loss.
Grrrrr!
Edited to add, the grumpy bit is as he hasn't turned up yet a bunch of eBay 4x4 bits for Project Peterborough will slip me by as I won't bid without the cash in my hand to buy them.

Somehow missed an insurance payment.... They took out the money before the weekend, according to online banking, as they should, leaving me with spare money in my account, so I spent a little bit of it today only to find out it didn't go through and iv now not got enough to pay it and iv gotta go into my savings, hate adrian flux, they pi double s me the **** off! Grrrrr! Not happy at all and I also need a new clutch, why did I choose to get a car.... :S
Direct debits take up to 10 days to clear, the banks issue if they've bounced it not your insurers, as you've said they went to get the money which is all they can do.
he might have had pending debit card transactions so therefore taking him into a position where there wasn't enough to pay direct debt
To damn hot! Thats what holidays are for.. I'll be more grumpyerrr on Saturday when it hits 29C

Customers. Specifically. ones who read something on a forum and take it as gospel. Take todays' muppet - we fitted a cambelt on his car last week and comes back saying something is catching since the job was done. We have a look, the gearbox is noisy. No it isn't says he, I read on a forum that it's probably the belt overtightened or the covers not fitted correctly. Well, i'm sorry matey, but the ever increasing pool of gearbox oil from the bell housing says otherwise. You bellend.
why didn't you advise him about noisy gearbox and oil coming out last week?
Because it wasn't doing it then or we would have.
fair point!

HPI checked it, insured it and pre-paid a train ticket. Whatever the reason it sounded serious and I wouldn't ask.
could have been BS as a stalling technique but suppose you'll never know

Nice way to call their bluff, I assume you're not aware of the going rate for some debt recovery agents though?
