I did a wet day at Brands on R888's in my Evo and it was very good fun but don't trust myself in the CSL

Having owned 3 evos and now the csl, I was much more confident in the csl, you can feel what it is actually doing, rather than numbness in the evo. And I was just as fast in the wet as my mate in his 500bhp evo both running a048, he can peddle as well

I've decided not to do a track day until next year now. Can't trust the weather and right now don't want to track it until I can get track day insurance sorted for a reasonable amount. I can't afford to replace my car completely if I stack it, so going to wait I reckon (anyone use track day insurance here?)

GlenDog (Rob) recommended " Competition Car Insurance" , I rung for a quote and was amazed at what they quoted me, so mush that I took it up almost straight away as they were the cheapest by far ( £505 fully comp with £500 total excess and include 4 Track Days/year coverage, one of which can be FIA approved European one like Spa ) It's a 5000 mile per year limit (which can easily be extended) for a garaged CSL in a good Cambridge post code. Give them a call on: 0115 9415255 and say they were recommended by other CSL owners on this forum. It also helps if you're a member of a car club (not necessarily a BMW one either) and have a clean license

Wow, that is cheap. I'm getting hammered on mine from Kwik Fit. Mainly because they haven't taken into account any real no claims bonus (was done while in Spain, nearly 10 years, all gone) so starting from fresh. And it's outside until I move house in a few months so probably doesn't help.

Can you change insurer during a policy? (I'm paying monthly)

Why Kwik Fit ? If you're paying monthly than it makes it easier to stop one policy and start a fresh with another
