  1. After just over 12 months of owning the VRS it has finally been sold today :'( . Just wanted to say thanks to everybody especially those who answered questions about the car(especially the stupid ones!)
  2. Little ....................s Warranty, it is about 9 months old so I assume it has 12 months manufacturer cover. Let me know if you are and can either meet up with you or you can see it working at my house.
  3. Xbox 360 250gb Slim (Black) 1 wireless controller & 1 steering wheel/pedals (Datel Supersports) Excellent Condition Games: F1 2010 Fifa 10 Need for Speed Hot pursuit GTA Episodes from Liberty City Collection from Birmingham or Midlands area. Any questions please ask. £125
  4. I have decided to drop the price as I have left it too long to return it. Crazy price of £125
  5. Not sure how my P-Torque map compares to Shark / Revo but I had a little fun with a Boxter which tried to pass but ended up going backwards. 30-70 when I backed off he was edging backwards.
  6. There is a similar one for android called Sensor Video Recorder which is very good aswell
  7. No problem let me know either way
  8. I have just uprgraded to this phone but have decided I would like an HTC Flyer Tablet instead and so am selling it. It is brand new in the box and unlocked and apart from checking this unused. (I have tested it on Orange and 3UK SIMS) I will send via special delivery. £180 Any questions please ask.
  9. "It retains its production-standard 2.0-litre four-cylinder TSI petrol engine but the standard turbo has been replaced with a more advanced unit from respected component firm Garret" Apparently had a second set of injectors & Fuel rail (due to lack of available uprated injectors for the tsi engine) and strengthened internals. Very impressive given this I think, although I doubt drivability will be a strong point.
  10. This is what I read?? "We have the right to cancel this policy by sending seven days written notice to your last known address. If we do, we will return the premium less an amount for the period the policy has been in force. The certificate of motor insurance remains our property and you must surrender it to us within seven days of the cancellation date." Again as long as you answer the questions in the proposal correctly it is for the insurance company to calculate risk. If, partway through the term of the contract. the insurer belives the risk is higher that is tough luck as they have entered into a contract to insure you. Both sides must abide by the terms of the contract and this contract does not preclude use either off road or on trackdays. Your only obligation is to be truthful, would taking a car at high speed in Germany make it more likely to fail? how would the insurer deal with a Porsche which is built for being taken at high speed?? Insurance companies spend a lot of time working out risk factors I agree but they are bound by contract law on this one. If they wish to exclude this use, the proposal would have to ask if at any time will your car be used for motorsport at a trackday or dragstrip for example. You would then have to answer truthfully and they could then possibly look at the risk. Is it possible that there is more to this like as mentioned before an undeclared modification?? (Not pointing fingers just asking)
  11. "if the is a "no motorsport" comment in the T & C's of a policy then it means what it says" - Where does it say that ??? It usually says (on the certificate only) no cover shall be extended whilst participating in motorsport, racing or time trials for example which by implication means that it is allowed or it would say that participation is forbidden and voids the policy. I don't doubt that an insurance company would attempt cancellation and indeed they claim that right in the contract to cancel without any reason. This does not mean it has any basis in law (which the insurance company is subject to), just look at their disregard for discrimination law. It is not an insurance company that I would be arguing with but I would consider a challenge for breach of contract after researching the basis of their generic term allowing them to cancel without cause. My point is that they may have had the right to cancel but he has not breached the contract in anyway by taking his car off road to use as he pleases and to suggest otherwise is wrong.
  12. Yes, although not declaring mods is fraud or breach of contract at best. I have read through direct line policy terms online there is no reference to cancelling policy for trackday use which is defined as "Track day – when your car is driven on a racing track, on an airfield or at an off-road event." In fact it defines a track day in the terms but then does not mention it again in the policy??? "Use on airfields We will not cover any injury, loss, damage or liability caused by using your car in any area where aircraft are normally found to be landing, taking off, moving or parked" Surely if this voided the policy it would say here, it seems they have simply exercised the generic cancellation term rather than for a specific breach of the insurance contract.
