Insurance
Yes its that time of the year again, anyone have any good ideas about insurers? Admiral has been my second best quote for the last couple of years and they won't insure me in the STI UK PPP in NI this year 
It'll be a while before I get my renewal quote from endsleigh.
Your help would be appreciated

Hi Andy,
And look back at a previous post on here, but there was a broker somewhere in Glengormley (i think) who was getting real cheap quotes.
The Northern Bank believe it or not were also cheapest for a P1 owner.
And Hughes & Co got a mention aswell.
All the best

Me Again.
OK - Foget about quinn direct. I rang them up to confirm some details and the first reaction to the words "WRX STI Type UK Prodrive" gained a "Sorry Sir, but we dont cover those vehicles"
OK then, back to the drawing board!
Good luck
Here's hoping on good old Endsleigh for me

Andy,
Have you tried Elephant? Although you probably won't get an on-line quote, they will probably give you one on the phone. You might find that they are cheaper than Endsleigh. Worth a try anyway, although they are part of the same group as Admiral. Good luck!

Around £1500 is the average for a 30+ driver in an STI Type UK or similar,...any more than that I'd shop around,.....any less than that I'd make sure you're actually insured

Once they told me that, I didn't even bother to try and talk them down - £750 too much than my renewal fee.
