Martin & Others,
As much as I dislike the subject of insurance (please don't get me
started) I have found one after much searching that doesn't piss me off. I
have been using a company called Parish Motorsports. The mileage restriction
is 3000 per year. The use for the car is not limited to "check drives",
"exercising" club events or show events. You are covered from going to work,
the grocery store or the Autocross track. I have been told if you think you
might be going over because of a long trip scheduled then just call them. I
pay $349 a year for $8,000 value on my car. This includes all the normal
requirements for the state of Texas. I Drive where and when I want, no
problem. The people there seem to know cars and had no problem when talking
to my friend about insurance for his Prostock. The number is 1-800-274-1804
It might be worth a try. Of course I have nothing to gain from this blah,
blah, blah.
Regards,

Subject: INSURANCE
A quick follow-up question to my earlier post. For anyone carrying
their insurance through Condon & Skelly - were you able to negotiate or
modify any of their restrictions regarding use? I am not concerned
about the 2500 miles per year, but I probably can't live within all of
the restrictions. My TR6 is NOT a daily driver, but I do like to take
the typical weekend drives, quick trip to the store, pick the wife up
for lunch sometimes, etc. That would certainly 'stretch' their
definition of a 'maintenance check drive', I'm sure. I know that the
time to be arguing over purpose of your use when the accident occurred
is NOT when you're trying to settle a claim.
What comments, if any, regarding ways to resolve this issue (short of
the temptation to call every drive you take, except the club outings and
shows, a 'maintenance check drive')??
