  1. Yup sure is had it out on a dry day last week as soon be roamers season again and this year be back of to mull a repeat of the very first run 7 years ago. Op I had 3 of those mk2 colts one a turbo back in the day nice cars well bought.
  2. Have done numerous times and always been cheeper having them separate policies for some weird reason. I've even had a few classics that did the same so ended up insuring them separate too.
  3. Rubber band you say😄 no problem whatsoever the amazon mower weighs in at 975kg plus trailer weight of around 600kg, I break its back all the time and had 4 dumpy bags of sand on the tri axle 16 ft trailer behind it. Mind it did struggle a tad with that load,
  4. But what does it matter surely they are all MOT and tax exempt anyway nothing will change that. 🤔 the only difference I can think is one can go on the path.
  5. That's a great idea looks like I need to shift a couple or three then.
  6. I'd be amazed if that lasts as the blow would have eaten away at the gasket, personally I would replace the gasket as your well into it now.
  7. Was the car not £3500 ? I personally wouldn't add the transport cost in as its not the cars fault its not on the street next to you. You don't get many sierras starting with a 3 these days and this one looks not to bad at all. I recon you will get it cleaned up pretty cost effective being a base colour then it will be the car your happy with. I've bought from pictures trusting people's descriptions to find the vehicle was far from described on arrival, even had one described as rust free when you could physically stick your hands through the holes in the inner wings. I look forward to your updates on the tidy up.
  8. I've got a pic on a previous phone somewhere of a sticker on a rally car with that slogan 😀 we thought it was really clever word play at the time. Along his sun visor was another. mad bastard.
  9. I sold my v8 as it didn't have a towbar in hindsight that wasn't my most sensible move. It wasn't bad on fuel at all untill you made it sing.
  10. I bet its still a pretty decent drive though as its surely still approaching 180 or so hp, aren't those 2.1s highly regarded engines that are capable of silly high mileages whilst still be reasonably frugal.
  11. Nice buy Is it the 3.2 v6 ? I've kind of mellowed a bit and forgiven these mercs after one destroying my bank balance, I have actually been looking at them out the corner of my eye again, they do tow very well indeed with the v6 and I will say probably better than the 4x4s I've used,
  12. I'm turning lazy so no collection, he is delivering my two new wheels later today.
  13. It used to have one back in the day, it took me over a year and a half to get in and that was only approved because another member sorted it out with owners for me.
  14. Just join the two pipes together that way you can still use it. Be cauld though with no heating.
  15. And just how is he going to do that without the V5 ? So in effect he's right it's still taxed untill New owner fills out the paperwork.
  16. I think insurance companies just make it up as they go along. I've just sold a car and called up to remove it from my two car classic policy, after half an hour on the phone I eventually had it sorted with a yes thats done I'll call you back after speaking to underwriters, er okay never had that before. 30 mins later get called to tell me there's a £6.50 refund on annual policy and also a £35 charge for change to policy, twats if it didn't have six months left to run I wouldn't have bothered and just let it lapse.
  17. More than likely but I'm blind as a bat so wouldn't have been looking out for you anyway, or I'd have been 20 miles down the road thinking I recognised that guy.
  18. I was up at Stirling dropping daughter 2 at uni so could have driven you home again if I'd known. At least you got it sorted 👍
  19. Ive watched the lot and It's okay chaps even though it doesn't get any better he doesn't crash anything else
  20. I'm halfway between car and your home for next breakdown or you could just dump it here. 😉 I've never actually driven an mx5 yet.
  21. What you meen like the suzuki jeep that had thousands spent on it that then failed it's mot big style, Two episodes and that tit has managed to crash two cars now,
