Yes, and I'm very happy with them. Nice people.
Have to admit, I haven't had to claim so I don't know how they perform in that area, but there seemed to be no limit to the time they were
prepared to insure my kit on the chassis number before registration, whereas I've heard that other insurers only allow a couple of weeks. Big up
from me 
I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.

Yep, i've used them for the last 2 years and im very happy. £100 a year fully comp and it doesn't cost a penny more for an agreed
valuation policy neither, just send them a set of photos, inside, out engine etc. The fury got a shunt from the rear last year and i found them speedy
and extremely helpful. They can send you a cover note on a pdf file so nice and easy to print yourself.

@ A1 - teh best way to get a quote and to get the feel good factor is to actually call and ask for Barry at Pickles, top top guy. In my second year
with them and faultless service. I know of 2 car buddies that had cause to claim and as always the question of how well the claim is handled relates
to teh actual underwriters - not the broker. Both claims were dealt with with a satisfactory outcome - but then given that many brokers are using the
same underwiters i'd expect the same to be true of a claim where A.N.Other Broker is involved, the difference with Pickles seems to me to be
sensible admin fees which do little to push the overal price of the policies up.
At the last count i think there was about 40 of us from SKCC that had gone across to Pickles based on service and price.
