Insurance time again
I was depressed about my renewal quote of £595, approx. £50 up from last year for no good reason. Having tried the usual suspects, Admiral, LV, etc, many of which would not quote because a LHD manual S8 did not exist on their database as a car that exists, I was ready to accept I painted myself into a corner having chosen to import a weird LHD car.
Searching on AudiSRS for other insurers, I gave Chris Knott and Sky insurance a try, and got two impressive quotes, £535 from Chris, and a shocking £430 from Sky, which I happily accepted. That's with mods declared. Just goes to show, its definitely worth to ring as many as possible.

I've just done mine too, i had my insurers drop from 350 to 296 with no hassle. Obviously i'm an A and not woth anything. Always ring round and use them against each other. I've also found that some years full comp and 3rd party are pretty much the same price and other years 3rd party is around half the price of fully comp.

Premiums should, on average, be falling compared to last year on like for like, as noted here:

I only paid £199 last year for my 3.7 D2 with business use included. I'll find out in June how much they want for the D3.

I think anything around £200 is a good price for insurance £430 still seems a bit much to me. That's £35/month.
