Just looking at that Pay as you Drive policy from Norwich Union. Just looking through the terms and conditions. Has all the usual stuff about not being able to have that sort of cover if you have been convicted or have too many claims e.t.c. But the last point is 'Your car is not an Audi A8'. Never seen that before in an insurance policy

Yea, I wonder why that is like that...
You have black box in your car which relays your usage information back to the company. It also tells you off for speeding and has an assistance button for if you get lost or break down...

Maybe if you fit the black box to an A8 the heated seats only work on full and can't be turned of so your backsides constantly burning and electric boot lid keeps opening and closing itself at random times whilst driving? 
Either that or technicians who fit them find A8s too technical? 
or maybe its a joke to see if anyone asks them.
Otherwise Pass
