thought they had gone into administration? couldnt fault um when i was with um though.

now with adrian flux rather than footman james as flux let you build up ncbs on a classic policy where as footman james don't.

Both Company names pop up for chat very often.I understand why younger drivers or people with a lot of points go with them.If you can build up a NCB of your own its well worth doing.At least they offer good legal cover.I had never heard of them until younger people told me i am getting on a bit but like to still be on the ball.Another insurance fact is if you are a honest young driver trying to build a NCB and have a small crash with an older driver often thet know you will not claim of them for your next years saving.If i bumped a young Driver i would pay them myself to have there car mended and an honest deal.I know the old days nock for nock,it worked well before they made cars out of plastic,often the price would only be a Crome Bumper and a plate.I also know you younger people like the odd Classic? :thumbsup:
