New POD

Car you'd least like to take home/on a long trip/to an MOT.
Car which would be least appropriate to take grieving family to a funeral. 
Car which you'd most like to borrow for a week. 

People who buy TPFT statistically carry more risk.  Given the cost of writing off a £1000 car that you own is insignificant compared to potential costs if you hit another vehicle.  Hire cars, and whiplash and genuine parts, could run into the ££££££s. 
And statistically people who buy it are more likely to crash.  I'm sure there's a rational causation to match the correlation. 
I've found that if I put a value less than £2k, the price goes up compared to if I say the value is £3.5k 
Again, I think there's something in the statistics that shows owners of cheap cars are more likely to crash. 
There was a point where the price didn't go down with fewer miles. Maybe if you only do 3000 miles a year you are seen as less competent compared to someone doing 6000. ? 
Since the kids grew up, and left home and I can't tick the box of dependent children. The price has gone up. Maybe people with kids are more careful? 

In 1993 I bought a D reg 1.6 GL off my father in law. With 20 k on the clock. It had never been out in the Rain or Salt. 
Was probably as clean as that. 
5 years later with 110K on the clock I sold it to buy an AX1.4D .  How stupid can one person be. 

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. 

I'll have you know, I take it in a leather case with my initials sewn into it. 

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. 

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. 

I've dealt with them ref being experts in mx5s.  

I wish I could justify that to myself.

Yesterday, I had 2 roofers fixing my little leak, whilst it was snowing. It wasn't urgent. But it's done now.

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. 
And scraped off the mould

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 has swage lines in the right place though. Almost like it was made for it.

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. 

The date for the dutton, is probably the donar (kebab) car. 

Measure twice ,cut once.

Looks like it's a £3k job🤔🤯

There's a point in life where changing gear by pressing a pedal and moving a stick  is just such a faff.

but I managed to miss the lamp posts that were in plain sight

I was stopped by plain clothes police drugs squad officers for overtaking them down the Dock Road in Liverpool. It was a week after I passed my driving test. In my dad's dangly mirror beige base 1.6 estate.  Probably doing 80 mph in what is Now a 30.  I think it was a 60 in those days. Got a bit of advice at the side of the road. 
Not taking the advice I spun that car on the coast road at Southport about 6 months later. No visible damage. 🤔
A few years later I got his Sapphire 1.8LX up to an indicated 136 on a German Autobahn at 2 am heading for Stuttgart. He was asleep. When he woke up he was complaining about how much fuel I'd used. 
He took me off the insurance when I got his 2.0 16V ghia estate sideways on a motorway roundabout in the dry.  Probably shouldn't have done it with him in the passenger seat.  30 years later he still won't put me on his insurance.
