How was your experience with them? GF’s stepdad is considering a 911 and mentioned having a trip over there.Jobbo wrote: Mon Nov 24, 2025 10:45 am Not sure if it's across the board but both our Porsches from the Tewkesbury Porsche dealer came with Vodafone trackers fitted and two devices/fobs for it.
Re: Car insurance
I’ve found them great - a massive step up in customer service from BMW and Audi main dealers. They take your money, sure, but they’re absolutely straight with you and don’t feel like they’re giving you bad value.240PP wrote: Mon Dec 01, 2025 11:39 amHow was your experience with them?

Good to know. He started out talking about 997.2s but is now browsing 991/992s..
Oh, and a 4.0 Cayman.

They've been pretty liberal offering me test drives, though where they are located it's a bit of a limited loop up round Bredon and Ashchurch with some speed humps. Hope he finds them accommodating!
Re: Car insurance
Back onto car insurance specifically - I think I've possible I've made the largest saving from any single phone call I've made (partly because of my own disorganisation).
The Range Rover predictably was still showing a relatively sky high renewal cost (somehow I've managed to time it so its 6 days before Christmas
) of £3,260. Other comparison sites were showing c. £2,500 as the most competitive quotes but from relatively unknown providers which always makes me nervous.
After calling up Admiral and realising that I actually have ended up with all three cars with them on separate policies, I managed to reduce the premium by over £1,100 to £2,099. Interestingly part of that is taking my wife off who was adding £700
To add to that I just got a voicemail saying the 911 had on the policy that I had no use of other cars so they're sending me a refund of £65 on that too
Yes I appreciate 2k is a lot of money for car insurance but given the risk and that the average insurance cost in inner London is c £1,500 it weirdly feels like a bit of a bargain.
