TCIS the problems begin

Wont do me though, 6in lift, 33's body lift, and all 100% VicRoads Engineered and approved.


thats what bleep s me, Im legal and all the trash out there with their lowered Gino mobiles 1inch off the ground, 24inch wheels with 10 profile tires, with more HP than the space shuttle get away with it...

I have no problem getting bleep boxes off the road, but legal cars, leave alone....

Im shocked that TCIS wont touch you with "non Genuine Suspension"???

So you walk into Toyota and ask for Genuine 40 series Shocks and Springs they will beat you to death...

"Stock suspension"

Well there goes 99% of all 4wds off the insurance list !

They wont have a problem taking your money , but may find exuses to pay up if needed.

What , a insurance company wouldnt do that...........Would they ?

Just talking to them about it now. Perhaps we should all E-mail Daniel@tcis.com.au to enquire????

We could melt down their mail server :D
Good idea.

That's Devious Truckster!!!!


Sorta like driving a new Rodeo.......

a gazzeted road is not any road, there are many places that you can legally drive, with or without permits that are not gazzeted roads.

and there are many roads (even formed and sealed ones) that are not actually gazetted.

How about private property??
Shopping centres?

Damn this is worrying stuff!!

Im with Chopper.

Im starting to think this is the beginning of the end.

As someone said
"stock Suspension".... thats 99.9% of 4wds on the road.

Ray that posted the original post is on this forum, I hope he will reply to this soon.

Alan.

Out of interest call them up and ask. Get another opinion from them.

Im going to call tomorrow. Be interesting to see...

Ok will call tomorrow.
Sent a fax to Sydney office the other day and did not get a reply, so will call them and Perth office. Let you know how it goes.

Try 1800 633 745 TCIS

1800 number. Let them pay unless your with Optus who now charge YOU the caller for 13 and 1800 #'s......

Hi Truckster
I am attending the club committee meeting tonight and we will be sending a letter to 4WD Victoria and to TCIS. The modifications on the vehicle had been listed on the old policy and are in accordance with Vicroads requirements. Willtell you the answer when we get it
Ray

Ray, dont hold your breath....

I would be interested to see the differences, and the "wording"..

eg are you covered anywhere like the TCIS one or only on the 4 lane hwy?

Mods and accessories...

Premiums going up 36%? Thats INSANE.. unless you have made several claims of $50k or more.....

I've had one free windscreen whilst with TCIS. No other claims.

Yes my vehicle is moderately accessorised, but no additions since last policy

I'm with you from next month onwards Willem.

I've had enough of this "Fair Weather Friends" Bull bleep !!!Chip

Chip,

yes and no... Its ok if you have the $$ to fix your car, but if you did $12k damage to your truck, wouldnt you see $500 a yr as cheap?

and If I hit someone it's their bad luck. is a pretty bleep ed attitude...

Specially with a G60! you could drive thru a house and not dint it... If you hit a 100 series, you would treat it like a ally can!

Yeah well, Things happen.
Some years ago I was turning across the traffic up in the Far North in my open top Suzi Two-stroke. A truck was blocking my view as I inched forward. Saw no traffic and drove across. Got cleaned up by a absolutely brand new Commodore. Totalled the Suzuki and Commodore, lots of blood, ended up in hospital but survived as you may witness. No insurance of course. I got sued for $10,000( a lot of money in 1980). We settled on $4000. I claimed poverty and offered to pay $50 a month. The insurance company accepted. I paid $50...then skipped a month....then paid $10... then skipped 2 months...then received lawyers letters..then paid another $10...then skipped a month......you get the drift. They gave up after a year of me stuffing about. Cost me about $100 all up. OK! Not very ethical but the insurance companies want to have their cake and eat it as well. I do have balance of 3rd Party insurance on the wifes Commodore but my other car and trailers and the Nissan are not insured. Just remember one thing.....CARS ARE ONLY RECYCLED EARTH !!!Cheers, Willem
Never a dull moment

Just wish I could get insurance for $500 a year. At about a grand a year plus excess I reckon I'm only running the gauntlet for about 2 years after which it's been worth the risk.
I have a 92 Harley Davidson that I have never insured so that's 11 years @ $1500 plus per annum meaning I have now effectively paid nothing for the bike. Makes it kinda hard for the Minister of War to tell me to get rid of it hey !!!
I don't exactly agree with Willem's attitude in the event of an accident but that's his choice/risk.Chip

Truckster, Please explain your comment on my bleep t attitude. No one has to agree with me on anything. I just go about my own business.Cheers, Willem
Never a dull moment

Willem.. Saying stuff like "If I hit someone it's their bad luck."

So if your in error in an accident, your not paying? Thats how it sounds!
Why should they pay up, or lose their NCB, or insurance if they arent at fault?

To me thats a phukt attitude... thats all..

YMMV.

Truckster, Point taken. Either way in the two-way street of life an accident is Bad Luck. Best is to try and avoid them. Drive carefully, keep your eyes open, don't DUI, and don't be too serious.Cheers, Willem
Never a dull moment

Hey Willem Wanker, Truckster's right. Tell me where you live, I want to throw some bricks through your windows... damn shame that would be, 'I was throwing them into the wheelbarrow and missed' hey bleep e happens! Secondly, why drive carefully... who cares!, wear a welding mask while driving, I don't need to see where I'm going because I don't care, go to the pub and get plastered...I'll blame the mental illness I've got. Hey, sounds to me I'm being too serious?

Hi Richard and Truckster whoever you may be.
Personal abuse in this forum is not tolerated but every now and then someone comes along and exceeds the limit. If you do not like my ideas or philosophy then that's fine but don't degrade this forum by calling me names. It only shows up a low I.Q.Cheers, Willem
Never a dull moment

Willem,

Im not richard, trust me, you saw my opinion and I posted it and left it at that, quite simple......

Richard sounds mentally unstable with a post like that.... Hopefully David can ban his IP address and save us all a lot of problems.

No.1 There's only one person who's mentally unstable here and it aint me! No.2 A little less personal abuse wouldn't go astray. No.3 "DON'T BE TOO SERIOUS"

AAMI.

Ive only heard nastys about them.... Thats what puts me off them.

Its fine to be insured with ANY insurance company, but getting the $$ out of them is the trick....

itruckster i know what you mean but when you get down to the nitty gritty of these nasty stories there is more to them than what one gets told. Col

yea true..

like the old training thing where you have 10 people, tell one person a 1 minute message, then get them to tell it to the next person in the next room, then down the line each person tells the next... Amazing what you get when it gets to the final person! Used to do it in the RFS for training.

so true LOL.Col
