Re: FIESTATURBO.COM INSURANCE SCHEME WITH CHRIS KNOTT INSURANCE
The scheme really took off in 2008 - better than we expected - so thanks to those of you who insured on it.
We look forward to being of service in 2009 as well.

We've had a good start to 2009 already, even better than last year which was an exceptional year for us.
If you're renewal is due in February, please don't forget to ring us and quote the club scheme reference number shown in my signature below!

Re: FIESTATURBO.COM INSURANCE SCHEME WITH CHRIS KNOTT INSURANCE
A GOOD REASON TO PHONE US IF YOUR RENEWAL IS DUE IN MARCH!
March is generally one of the busiest months of the year for car insurance.
There are a few reasons for this -
Firstly, the new car registrations come out so plenty of new cars to insure.
Secondly, this means that people who buy new cars, sell their existing ones which are then bought & insurance is needed for them.
Thirdly, a major insurance company went bust in the early 1970's in March which left a lot of people without insurance meaning they had to get new policies immediately. There were long queues outside brokers with people waiting to get covered! This means that many of the affected, older generation still have March renewal dates!
And on a totally personal level, we have just had our record week since we instigated these forum insurance schemes so we must be doing something right!
Therefore, if your renewal is due in March, please feel free to give us a call and don't forget to mention the club scheme reference number found in my signature below or in my initial post which started this thread.

Re: FIESTATURBO.COM INSURANCE SCHEME WITH CHRIS KNOTT INSURANCE
Just a quick note to thank those of you who have tried the club insurance scheme.
In March, we have recorded our best ever week for club 'business' - nearly double that of our previous record set in February, which was remarkable in itself! I had to recheck the figures myself!
This is all due to the fact that people on sites like this have rung us & taken out policies. We must be doing something right!
Just to let you know our opening hours are Monday to Friday, 9am till 5pm & Saturday morning, 9am till noon.
(Please don't forget to quote the club scheme reference number when you ring for a quote).

Re: FIESTATURBO.COM INSURANCE SCHEME WITH CHRIS KNOTT INSURANCE
Hot off the press!
In 2009 so far, we have saved our new customers a recorded average of £60 (£60.10 to be exact!) off their BEST quote, not just their renewal price, but their BEST quote!
In fact, so successful is the scheme that we have taken on additional staff & next week we have a meeting to look at taking on further personnel!
So, if your insurance is due in the next few weeks, please give us a call freephone on 0800 917 2274 (or 01580 752961 if calling by mobile) and don't forget to state the club reference number found either in my signature or in my introductory post when we first set up the scheme. Insurers find that club/forum users are better 'risks' statistically so make sure you mention the club!
Don't forget to check the criteria you must adhere to, e.g. age, etc.

Their stats show a much higher than average claims loss ratio with cars involving cages. I suppose once bitten twice shy.

Re: FIESTATURBO.COM INSURANCE SCHEME WITH CHRIS KNOTT INSURANCE
With August being the second busiest month of the year, after March, I expect quite a few of you are coming up for your car insurance renewal.
Please feel free to give us a call when you receive your renewal papers through. I have collated a large list of excellent feedback from those who have already rung us so thank you for that.
Our average recording saving for our new customers in 2009 is £60.02 off their BEST quote so now you know why we have had to take on more staff!
The number is 0800 917 2274 or 01580 752961 if calling by mobile and PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO QUOTE THE CLUB NAME & REFERENCE NUMBER found in either my signature or my original post introducing the scheme!

Re: FIESTATURBO.COM INSURANCE SCHEME WITH CHRIS KNOTT INSURANCE
I called up for a quote, and apparantly, despite all fiestas sharing the same shell, and little variation in brakes & suspension, putting a 2.0 zetec engine in a fiesta as an upgrade from a 1.0, is 'Excessive' and for that reason wont insure, despite being the same power as an rs1800, and a smidge under a RST.
Looks like if you have a bigger engine than standard dont waste your time calling.

previously didn't see the if calling by mobile bit... I phoned the 0800 number and I got put through to a different company alltogether!?
My point in this post though, is that I dont think that 'if calling by mobile' bit is in the sticky.... Or was I just blind?

NEW IDEA!!!!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK?
We are looking at launching a system whereby, to get a quote from us, you have the option of sending your details by email to us and then we will contact you with the quote.
This would also assist those who can't get ring us during working hours or those who would just prefer to correspond through the forum.
My question is would this be helpful to you?
I'd appreciate your comments.

sounds good, I assume by some sort of form rather than a plain email?
I'll be contacting you in a few months when my insurance expires...
