Honestly I think it is the constant chopping of chod that has hurt my price, but I'm still going to be bitter about it.

My other half had her insurance renewal through today 215 quid. I'm insuring a near identical car but I'm a couple of years older than her, never had a crash, never had points, same address, she has had one crash (a parking ding) which was sorted by insurance. We both got our licences within a few months of each other 10+ years ago. She has only ever driven her car but has been a named driver on my policy. I've had high performance cars and a variety of chod. She's only ever driven the chod. My insurance is £440, make sense of that one.

I used to daily a 1982/3 Scirocco it was decent tbh, kept up with traffic always started. Only broke down a couple of times, once when it ripped the clutch cable through the firewall but other than that it was fine. I replaced it for daily duties with a civic and honestly I think I'd find it hard to go back. Power steering, abs and other such creature comforts just make moderns nicer.

If for no other reason than that autoshite brown paint work.

Wrong thread altogether, it was meant for the Scirocco thread.

I'd say 1500 is about right tbh, maybe a little low given that it has an MOT

my uncle had one for years, but he did live in italy so that's not surprising really. Traded it in for a first gen punto under the scrappage scheme, think he still has the punto to be fair to him.

It was 1500 which is sort of my cieling for what would be a toy tbh, I do recon they'll keep going up as everything else rots/gets scrapped.

Renault five gordini turbo in timewarp condition, think it was about 900 quid, but it idled fast and looked like it had been parked in a garage rather than driven, so I had a real feeling of paranoia that it'd shit itself on the drive home.

Saab 9000 and an Impreza WRX wagon, both of which are now going north price wise.

Fly by wire throttle too

there's one in huddersfield

I got a shiny copy of a biography of Lionel Messi, thank you secret Santa. I do enjoy a good biography and I doubt Messi ltd would scrimp on the ghost writer it'll keep me out of trouble for a while.

amazon are saying it's going to be delivered after xmas, via royal mail so whoever i got apologies i thought amazon would be a safe pre xmas bet.

Sent. Apologies to whoever receives it. I feel like i've really half arsed it this year, but with postal strikes and plus having sort of forgot I panicked. Hopefully you'll enjoy it regardless.

go on then, why not. If i'm not too late that is.

Honda CRV £450 What's the catch? 12 months MOT, but he took it off roading deployed the airbags and then cut off the cat to get scrap value for it. Honestly he sent me a video/pics and it doesn't look that bad, needs a windscreen and a passenger side mirror, but 12 months MOT for 450 quid? Decat already done!
