Why would you take pictures of your daughter, with the car you are trying to sell. 2 pictures on one side, no interior, nothing on the driver's side, or the back.

What's it worth as a roadworthy car, if it's considerably more surely that's justification, to you anyway, your partner however..... 😄
About £500? I mean how many NCAP stars does it have?

Yup, the snow and ice warnings for North Wales were a bit OTT. Sure, the tops are white again but it didn't get below 2 degrees in the valleys so has just rained all day.
Yesterday, I had 2 roofers fixing my little leak, whilst it was snowing. It wasn't urgent. But it's done now.

Living in Norfolk surrounded by farmers I would have to disagree on this, most of them drive round in brand new trucks and Range Rovers. You get the odd old school farmer in his battered hilux or L200 but the large majority are in brand new stuff
When I lived in the Yorkshire dales, our milk man and local farmer, delivered milk in his Defender, but he had an M3 that came out once in a blue moon. He was probably 60.
My wife was friends with the Australian wife of a farmers son, and he drove a 205 diesel van with the boot held closed with twine, usually with a hay bail in the back, and his wife a nearly new Renault Laguna V6. His kids had plastic push along noddy cars.

Electric vehicles can be a tax efficient method of buying a vehicle if you have your own company. So a farmer could potentially offset it against any losses and such as a working vehicle.
Run a Ltd company?
In order of tax efficiency
0) use a cheap shitter and put every business mile through at 45p (25p once you've done 10K in a year). If the car was cheap enough and economical enough, that's 45p tax free from business into pesonal bank account. Assuming fuel at 20p a mile that's 25p tax free.
1) Electric vehicle of any sort with zero BIK which you can use for private use.
2) ICE vehicle which is a pool vehicle and can be only be used on company business
3) ICE Commercial vehicle (van or pick up) which you can use privately and incur BIK of £3k
4) massively expensive ICE car which you can use for private use, with redondulous BIK based on emissions and rrp
I don't know, where it fits but one contractor bought a brand new Ducatti costing £12k and his accountant said that was "plant and equipment"

The other Sierra, interestingly the add claims its registered in 67 which is odd because this car/pickup was launched by Dutton in 1979? 🙄

Noticed a little issue in my daughter's bedroom in the corner. Little evidence of a leak
started to investigate. Removed some Wall paper to find the lining paper covered in mould.
and investigate more. Under the pink painted lining paper on the outside wall the plaster was pretty damp.
Took off the lining paper on the party wall.
Looks like there's some sort of small leak from the corner of the loft conversion above, which starts about 50 cm in from the outside wall, and has found an outlet right at the corner.
Roofer, coming Tuesday.
Looks like it's a £3k job🤔🤯

In the words of dave sexton. Never drive or ride through a puddle. If you have to, assume its 3 foot deep.

You say totally different car, but the patent is probably owned by TRW (now ZF ?). Which came out of a project at Lucas Car Brakes Fen End near Solihull in the 90s.

Been a lot of military plane movements around here recently. On Monday a pair of F-35s came over the house so low that I could almost see the whites of the pilots' eyes. Then just now an Airbus A400 came howling over on its left wingtip at no more than a couple of hundred feet. Obviously stepping up preparations for WW3.
BAE Systems are looking desperately for 3500 Engineers. Most of them at the Salamsbury or Wharton. Every recruitment agency I've ever dealt with has sent me an email this week, There's a double page advert in The Engineer.

Can you get a passenger wing mirror for a mazda 2 circa 2013? Son's wife has broken a clip on the back of the mirror which attaches it to the motor assembly inside.
Son works at GSF in finance department, and texted me yesterday, looking for the mirror glass and plastic that it sits in. I found whole mirrors or glass on thewingmirrorcompany.co.uk but suggested he email from his work email, the manager in his local branch. I have been trying to get him to get me the employee friends and family discount since he stared, but he's been quite unhelpful in that. In that he doesn't buy car parts, so it's not on his radar. Maybe this might spur him on.
