"3rd party driving another vehicle"

Age is on your side Bob 😉

I'm not aware of any insurers that provide this for under-25s, if there was I'd happily pay the extra though!

Interesting, maybe I'll give them a shout for my next renewal. I did try them before for something but they couldn't quote iirc.

Also try Adrian flux as they offered DOC too they were a bit more expensive though at 500 a year

I didn't get DOC on the Flux policy I had a while back, they didn't offer it.

Not sure if I can be of help with moving much stuff from storage unless the temporary cover people have become a bit more flexible on vehicle age. The only things that might work would be the 330ci, 156, V70 and Rangey - not sure what age any of those other than the RR are though. Happy to ferry people around, though. 

Just be one of the crew stood just inside the gate ready for a driver change over, then the drivers get back for another load and you move the cars onto the field and wait for the next load? 

(I've never thought of an age limit in the other cars bit tbh... I've driven the toledo and gs under it to storage before 🤣... Might have a look one day)

I’ve got this on our van insurance and paid an extra £24 to get it up to £20,000 worth of repair or replacement for the car that I’m borrowing too. I’m 25 - it’s rare but still exists! 

[wuvvum]

I'm happy to drive anything up to the indemnity limit on my trader's policy (so that's probably everything on that list other than the E Type, 308 and Rolls, and modern Rangie obvs).

I do quite fancy a go in the Visa, just to see what a good one should drive like...

A little job for the weekend is to gather together all oils etc on site.

I have bought an outside cupboard with the intension of storing oil and other inflammable liquids away from the barn. I have left oils in hedge rows to keep it out of the barn but have lost track of what I have in stock so need them all gathering together.

You could walk around the site carrying 20 Ltr containers or maybe it would be more fun to wake up our Jinling and drive them around!

Don’t forget to lube the chain before using the Jinling.

The weekend has started. 

[hairnet]

chris you dont know what day it is do you

 

[RobT]

I'll be a day visitor on Saturday if that's alright.  Either in the Polo that I've spent two months fixing (HGF) or the Espace.  The latter might be better though as I could act as a shuttle service for the drivers collecting chod from storage.

AC Invacar blue

@Andyrew dont suppose you feel like doing a clutch job on the Model 70 so I can get some flying shots of said Model 70 and the Jag E type together?

always wanted to do a shot of "the AC and the Jag" together just for giggles  because you can totally subvert peoples expectations with that! as I imagine most people will hear "AC and Jag" and think Cobra+E Type or such!

 

[Floatylight]

Mrs FL & I are likely to come down on Saturday for the day

You’ll do well to get DOC on a motorcycle insurance 😂 you technically might get ROB’s on a bike policy but you obviously couldn’t ride much, a 50/125 if you had a CBT but not much else on a car license!

Yeah LOL but I have come to expect nothing when it comes to insurance! I mean everyone told me, including you yourself, that insurance would be an expensive nightmare, that no one would likely even quote

Insuring a Q plated car is difficult

Insuring something like this as an only car is difficult

Insuring on the road in London is difficult

Insuring as a young driver is difficult

Insuring as a provisional license holder isn’t difficult

Insuring this type of car as a provisional license holder is difficult

 

I’ll always try and help when it comes to insurance as I have others on here but it’d be virtually impossible for Dez to insure this.

 

If you can find somewhere free and local to keep it, you’re doing bloody well.

but far from it! its actually worked out much cheaper then any quote I have gotten on any 4 wheeled car!

so I am not complaining but yeah go figure that one out!  

 

wonder if I can get DOI, Drive other invalid vehicles?

Don't forget Your camera!

For anybody  who enjoys photography there are going to be 40 cars from a Citroen LNA to a Rolls Royce in a field that you can arrange as you please. Yes most drive and the others can be towed into a group or position of your choice, line them up by colour, age, nationality, brand or whether you like them.

You can take a car of your choice away from the group to do your details pictures.

Any artist out there who want to paint a picture of some or all of them is most welcome.

I only have a very average  bridge camera that I have always been disappointed in so I am relying on shiters to get those shots I treasure forever.

Error 404 has wipers!

Anybody who has a drone please bring it.

now that you said @Talbot and @chaseracer  are probably going to concoct some utterly lethal contraption using couple aeroplane propeller blades and a spare 2CV engine

and its going to have some sort of home Cine 8 camera strapped to it for the filming part  

and its not going to be controlled by remote control, but several very long cables, like the worlds most deadly kite...

[wuvvum]

I have a drone with a camera on it - it's pretty basic though and I'm not very good at flying it...

[hairnet]

I have a shotgun will that be compatible with it

[richardmorris]

I am still hoping to come up Saturday morning for the day, have a tripod and modern bridge camera, but no drone. 
no one has said they want a free mountain bike, so won’t bring it on the off chance unless….?

I will bring the toy car box up for donations though.

 

hobbling about today with a weird heel pain, but hope to be ok at the weekend. 

[wuvvum]

I'd give the mountain bike a home, but I'm not sure yet what I'll be driving and if it'll be big enough to fit the bike in the boot.

[richardmorris]

I can pop it on the roof - I’ll be in the new exotic* Italian.

[Weird Car]

i plan to be there early Saturday and camp the night, the Austin is the chosen mode of transport if it starts to play up I’ll be there in the Hyundai
