double-6s 0 Posted June 29, 2007 Stupid question I know, but is all accidental damage covered by a fully comp insurance policy? Eg, if I drove into a skip, entirely my fault for example, would I be covered? I haven't by the way :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonicriot13 0 Posted June 29, 2007 Yes you would be covered. But the claim would count against you as the insurance company would not be able to reclaim any of it's costs from a third party insurer. As it would if someone hit you and it was their fault for example. So your premium would be loaded and you'd lose any unprotected no claims bonus at your next renewal. Used to work in motor insurance. Probably just made myself very unpopular.... In a vain attempt to redeem myself I hated every second of it.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted June 29, 2007 thanks mate. so the premium would be loaded come renewal time? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted June 29, 2007 .........however if you were to drive into the skip at night and the skip didn't have visible marker boards,then the Skip company are in the wrong so you would be able to claim off the Skip company/customer.........provided it is on the queens highway that is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Liability is a bloody nightmare. And hitting stationary objects doesn't do you any favours. The third party insurer would just say you were traveling at excessive speed and they'd both wimp out and it would go joint liability at best. Insurance sucks.

double-6s 0 Posted June 29, 2007 Your car is in Evo?! Much respect! :notworthy: Respect not deserved mate! My car is in evo, but by pure luck really. They needed a GTA for a buyer's guide article they were doing, and I managed to fluke being the one picked for the photoshoot :) I even got a pic of my boat race and a small piece I wrote in there as well!! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted June 29, 2007 It does look stunning in the magazine mate. It's just a shame they cant get near describing the noise of the V6. That alone would change the minds of some of the Alfa haters that seem to be floating around... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to order a cat-back stainless exhaust with one less silencer and slightly bigger pipes :) Might even go for a CDA as well, but not sure on that. How's you bud? :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonicriot13 0 Posted June 29, 2007 That's awesome buddy! Respect deserved I'd say. Evo is one of the better mags out there imo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted June 29, 2007 Cheers dude. Yeah it's the only one for me. Even topgear mag is a bit shite now. I even managed to get a mention of the Rado VR6 in the Alfa article! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did your CDA go in the end? I'm pretty good... Fooking knackered though. Owning two corrados is a headache, only one ever wants to work at any one time, and I can never work out which one it's going to be. :D Noticed the rado quote in your bit of text too. Can you get any big prints from them? Bet one of your car would look stunning framed... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted June 29, 2007 I get a print or two as payment for the photshoot mate :) Owning two cars is a proper ball-ache mate - let alone two rados! Just be thankful they're not both VRs :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonicriot13 0 Posted June 30, 2007 I have two corrados. Both now in various stages of broken. Why couldn't I have taken up stamp collecting or something? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
