    Insurance cover and quotes

    Can anyone recommend an insurer here in Oz other than Shannons? I am starting to tire of their annual practice of continually devaluing the car, despite increasing the premiums. At a time when a) just about every car under the sun, but Maserati as well have all appreciated in value and b)...
