Dave_Q Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Anyway I've been told/reminded by the wife that I'm only allowed 3 cars maximum and just because one is a classic, I can't make up exemptions... I do it all the time: "I didn't buy it, it was given to me" "It's a van" "It's a motorcycle" "Look, it's not a car, it's a tricycle" "It's not a car, it's quality used spares" "It's cheaper than hiring a car" "I needed a car to get to the tip and I'm not insured on my dad's vehicle" "The car in the drive isn't mine, it's Junkman's and he's just visiting" fatharris, Cavcraft, Brodders and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaseracer Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 There's another problem with older cars ^ If you leave a job because of having to justify the cost-versus-return, you generally find you're stuck with a car you can never justify investing in the repair of. That in turn gives you a car that's difficult to sell on because nobody else wants to fork out to get it fixed for the same reason. The job will probably cost just as much now as it would have five years ago, the only difference is the car's financial value has dropped. It's sentimental value has probably done the inverse. If you like it and can't afford to replace it with something better, then fix it. Might take a while to get the funds together, but sod the return you might get further down the line in the future. If anyone sits down with all their receipts and looks at what they've invested in a car they quickly find they've lost money whether it's a £100 banger or a £10,000 classic. Stop worrying about the financial return and fix the car if you like it (and can afford to, obviously) or sell it on and take the loss on the chin. Also, never be afraid to compromise on cosmetics. A working car you can drive and enjoy is worth far more than a buggered one with lovely paint. chodweaver, AMC Rebel, sheffcortinacentre and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcars Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 This in Cort's MG thread. Under used words are the old disco biscuits. I didn't think it would be my thing.I remember them being a bit of a joke at the time and if you'd said to me 1994 I'd be rubbing my trousers over one, a rough one at that 20 odd years later Id tell you to check your pint for disco biscuits.

Junkman Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 It's probably an Autoshite first that something from an introductionary post of a new member gets posted here, but this is just too epic: I think my new mantra for Renault 6 repairs is "Almost everything is almost impossible". I suppose it serves us right for buying a right-hand drive, front engined, front wheel drive car fitted with an engine and gearbox designed for a left-hand drive, rear engined, rear wheel drive car.

somewhatfoolish Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I think this would be too shonky even for a collective AS purchase. I bet it's roofing felt that the underneath is repered with, with a big mlerm of hot tar to seal it all up. Mostly for the use of the word mlerm, which ought to be but probably isn't in Roger's Profanisaurus.
