    Trackday insurance - anyone used MORIS?

    Cheers for that. I'm with Greenlight too, but was quoted much more for my trackdays when I asked, hence checking with MORIS. Does the Greenlight trackday policy cover more than just bodywork? I'm trying to see if the cheap insurance I've been quoted is cheap because there's not much cover or...

    Trackday insurance - anyone used MORIS?

    Morning all, :hi: As per the title really - I'm doing a couple of trackdays soon & been thinking about maybe taking out trackday insurance. Most want £130 - 150 per day, often with an XS of a few £ks, which put me off. I was told by my insurance broker to try MORIS and they've come back with...

    HAS ANYONE ONE BOUGHT FROM ELITE MOTOR COMPANY IN KEIGHLEY?

    Sounds like you had a lucky escape there fella - unlike the other posts & their experiences with these "traders"... I was going to look at a car they had on sale, but my hirecar broke down on the way, so didn't get time to see it. I took it as an omen & left it. Looks like I was right for...

    Private plates

    I got a private plate because my car was cloned just before I bought it and was sick of being stopped everywhere I went. As my private plate was cheap, it'll go with the car when I chop it in. Maybe they thought it wasn't worth the hassle to switch plates having done it once or just sold the...

    Opinions TTRS

    Wasn't that a BRM edition or similar? Nearly as bad as the CityRover... That TT-RS is a bit pricey for an already pricey car me thinks :ohmy:

    What is the coolest car ever?

    Classics - the Ferrari 250 GT SWBs going around Goodwood revival recently were just sublime & just about topped the DB4 that I was pawing all over coz it was for sale. Modern - Aston Vantage V12 in light blue... Didn't even notice classic cars until recently - must be the midlife crisis...

    millers additive. yes or no?

    I always used Millers diesel sport power 4 (or whatever it's called now) in my Golf IV PD 150. Seemed to be fine, but no dramatic improvements noted. When I got shot of the car I gave the rest of the bottle I had left to the old man, who raves about it in his Volvo V70. Says it improved the...

    additives

    I used the Millers Sport+4 for Years on my old Golf 4 PD150 diesel. Didn't notice much difference, but fell for the hype I guess. When I got rid of the car I gave the rest of the bottle I had left to my old man. He put it into his Volvo V70 diesel & swears that it picks up better from low revs...

    TEST DRIVE - HOW LONG ?

    When I got my S3 last Year the (non-Audi) main stealer was happy enough to leave me and the missus alone with the car. Just looked at my driving licence & noted down the main details. I asked how long I could test the car for before he'd get worried. He said 30 mins or so. We agreed on 45, but...

    Clio Being Pushed Along the Motorway at 60mph by a Lorry.

    Top, top video that. Apparently the company had orignally dealt with the incident, but only realised how serious it was when they saw the video online. My old company used Arclid a lot. They had some really fun drivers there. And this one... :whistle2:
