Bloody crap, badly made MG tyres. Good job spares are readily available.

The problem with parts for these doesn't fill a person with confidence for second-hand MG's in the future, does it? I test drove an MG5 last year, and quite liked it (apart from the box that holds the sensors behind the mirror is so large you might as well have a giffer sat nav directly in your line of sight) and was considering a second-hand one eventually. Too risky if the company refuses to support past models, IMO, and buying one new is daft because the quality does not match the price. On the plus side, they'll be silly cheap second-hand eventually, because even minor borkage will mean calling the scrap man.

4 household vehicles. All bulletproof - though 1 bike did get trailered for some work with better tools than I possess after I broke an exhaust stud in the head. Otherwise, no motoring calamities of any kind... He says, thoroughly jinxing it.

"The AA" So you know what to call for it.

To be fair, up skirting Dundee is quite an accurate description, assuming the view is of 28 year old granny pants that used to be white and have been washed 4 times in total.

What new pussycat?

I prefer to try teleportation than relying on public transport. I get to my destination more often.

A Green Goddess.

Much festive cheer to you all.

🤣 At the sponsor, for childish reasons

What the powers that be fail to see is that if you enforce and follow up on the minor stuff with a visible presence, that all crime rates are lowered because those that would do it are put off by the possibility of police about looking at the minor stuff. Police in view is all it takes to lower crime dramatically.

Motorcycle not allowed in it.

If you want reliable, something from and MX-5 or an old rwd Toyota or Datsun is surely the correct choice?

2 in, both bikes. None out.

That's the finest purchase justifying man maths I've seen in a very long time. Good work!

Mine went from £294 to £480 in November on my renewal from Lloyds. Well, that's what they wanted. I got better cover and zero excess, that's zero compulsory and voluntary. Still protected no claims and business use. All for £296. From Aviva of all people. North Norfolk, 2010 Octavia diesel estate. Insurance is legalised robbery, nothing more and nothing less.

If we're being that Pacific, I'll go for a Metro GTa with a wi-fi front subframe.

80's dream car? CRX or MR2

FireMax™ I want me some of those. I'll bet they're fabulous.

Some bike names are awesome - Blackbird, Hornet, Himalayan, Rocket, Sportster, Bullet, Etc, Etc... But my favourite is Hayabusa, not for the name but the trolling. Named after a falcon that hunts Blackbirds at a time when the Honda was the top dog. But some are impossible to remember and even more impossible to differentiate between different models in the range. I think most of the car names I've come up with are already mentioned.

Buick special? Early 60's

Ok, I have a serious question about the adventures so far. How do you put candles on that birthday cake?

I had a 2001 diesel for a while which took all of the abuse and loved it. Fabulous car that only went in the end because the Mrs passed her test and we needed an auto for her, while I had a company vehicle at the time. I miss it's Italian enthusiasm. Great buy!

What's the cut off point between "not" and "many". Surely this should be in the forum rules somewhere? We simply can't be expected to deal with this ambiguity.

How can you tell, guns in the glovebox? Covered in plastic 'cheese'?
