Insurance (was: Going to get coach)

[Ross MacKillop]

Hi,
I agree ,I was fortunate. The failure was agreed to be software system failure and they paid for the resultant damage, which was mechanical.
Unfortunately, I am NOT always that lucky !! At least not with Blue Bird -- but I'm working on it!

Hey Ross,



How did you get your insurance company to pay for a mechanical failure

like that?? I've never known insurance companies to fork over for

these sorts of things.
