Ultimately yes, you are right. The risk/reward just doesn't stack up.

Insurance due 1st dec. I was shocked with my renewal for my S3 it was more or less the same as RS6 was at £353 (think the RS6 was £370). Churchill.

Quick online search £166 and I have 3 points (silly mistake with cruise control lol in the RS3. If my RS3 said 80 it was actually doing 80 :oops: ). not sure how I will afford that :rocker: :rocker: :rocker:
BMW 540i
2018 GTR
F90 M5
X3MC
RS3 Saloon
RS7 FL best car I've owned. No faith in turbo oil screen (turbos failing) or sticking oil scraper ring causing missfires.
F10 M5 LCI still no rear grip lol
S7 black Edition Too big and heavy
S3 8V FL DSG 310ps, road noise is a joke
RS3 8P Rubbish
C7 RS6 Fantastic car but missed playing
GTR R35 800bhp, too extreme, crazy fast though
911 Turbo Remapped. Hated it
F10 M5, awesome but no rear grip
RS6 V10 700BHP crazy
Porsche Cayenne Turbo S 600bhp

In my case do you think it is worth paying a little more for NFU rather than a company say Hastings Direct?
NFU has a very high theft excess £1500 for the RS6 but they do have a 2 year old replacement with new cover.
Both are Defaqto 5 star.
Im not sure.....

Never dealt with Hastings. But with NFU I have 5 cars always changing them and never an issue or a high price. Haven't claimed though!
