Insurance for your Ferrari 308

Well ok, so it's not really Ferrari but I've discovered a new insurance company for my fleet of classic cars and I have to recommend them. I've been insured with Footman James for many years but the prices were creeping up. I was told of a company called Classicline and they did slash huge amounts off my insurance bill. For example the insurance on my 1957 VW bus was quoted as over £400 with FJ but Classicline wanted just £189 for the same level of cover. For my Ferrari 308 they quoted around £100 less than Footman James and they came out about the cheapest for my 1996 Porsche 911 and accepted me not having any No-Claims-Bonus on the basis that I had been using classic car policies for a long time.

Most importantly in our modern times is the personal experience with Classicline - I get the feeling that actually remember me whenever I have to talk to them - sorry but I don't think you get that with www.confused.com

Spring is coming


Although it is still pretty cold here the sun has been out and the roads have been dry for the last week. So I've managed to get some 308 time in, all is well with the car although I need to think about an brake fluid flush and oil change. Checked the rear brake adjustment (you have to take up the slack with adjusting screws) using Birdman's tutorial and noted some fluid came out of the passenger side adjuster screw cover. I'd rebuilt the drivers side calliper a few years ago so I expect the passenger side rear one could do with new seals now. Nice picture of the wheels.
