Skoda coming to kent tomorrow

[egg]

I want to take on Walter's (ex-Shadow) Favorit for a bit - but logistically it's tricky - I rarely venture out of the county!

 

Anyone up for bringing it down to Kent? No need to come all the way to Herne Bay - I could meet at Ebbsfleet station (or you could leave the car somewhere close to there and post me the key!).

 

Ebbsfleet to St Pancras is 20 mins - for trains back to the Midlands.

 

£80 cash offered, which should cover petrol + train fare + lunch and a couple of beers!

 

Cheers folks. Let's try and keep this one in the family for now - and I expect I'll pop it up for sale/roffle next year some time.

 

Car will be taxed and insured by me before you travel.

If i understood train timetables id offer as im not far from the skoda and free Tuesday afternoon. Let me look into it chap

cheers Bub - I'll PM you the Skoda's exact location - as don't want to post walter's details on the open forum.

70.50 train back. How do shiters find it cheaper? I can take my car to the skoda and get train back to notts to pick my motor up.

[Pillock]

Google for Split Ticketing.

 

If you can get to St Pancreas for 18.34 and change at Grantham, you can get to Nottingham for £35.20

yeah, I thought train would be cheaper. Let me have a look too. I was assuming some advanced tickets might be available when I first posted...

 

•  Â£21.50Advance
•  Â£70.50Off-Peak
•  Â£147.50First Class

Bub's driving this down to Kent on Tuesday - can I arrange 1 day breakdown cover for him??

[Craig the Princess]

What cover does Bub have? Autoaid and some others cover the person in any car not just a car on the policy.

[Kiltox]

Surely any seasoned shiter already has cover for any car?

[Dave_Q]

Probably not financially viable as most providers change more for older cars. 

 

Autoaid is £43 for the year, maybe see if you and bub can reach a deal to buy that for him, covers any car regardless of age.

[egg]

Bub doesn't have cover, yes could do a deal on autoaid. I'm with them myself. I'll check out if any cheaper options tomorrow.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

If you buy a day insure for £28ish you can have breakdown cover for an extra £2 or something.

[egg]

Yep, good idea, Bub would probably have to do in his name though - or I would probably need his personal details as an additional driver.

The broken down stuff on day insurance i have been to (Aviva mostly) the cover is only good for a 10 mile tow,anything further is chargable.

Superb Bub - thanks for letting me know. One more thing off the list....
