richardmorris Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I’m also shattered. I’ve been at my sisters from Boxing Day morning making Lego with my neices, i was pressganged into it! Then we went for a walk in besselsleigh woods ( not an inspector morse title, but close) and both 6 and 10 wanted to paddle in their wellies. Water too deep for aged 6’s wellies though, cue grump and tears. I won the Lego competition though ( my throne room of the vengeful owl god was judged best, if only because my brother in law thought it a lot safer if he didn’t decide between his girls. Mercedes was brilliant up to oxford and home though, despite the idiots on the road. Now i have a break, going to work, before I visit my parents in north wales for New Years.

320touring Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Spent 20 mins on the phone with Carole Nash for them to remove £4 from a renewal cost of £186 for the Oxford. What a bag of shite.. Anyone any suggestions re potential insurers? was going to try footman James / Peter James etc.. I know some folk also have "multi car" classic policies (skattrd and dollywobbler spring to mind?) - who are they with? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheersPeter S Taylor have been great with mine and I've got the XJ8, my e28 bmw and more recently had my Rover 820 on a multicar with them. Only one they wouldn't touch was my Rover 75 as it was too new. Had to go to Peter Best to get that covered on a classic policy. I'm paying £155 for the XJ8 and about £95 per year for the bmw. Have heard though (Dollywobbler mentioned it) that they are now only covering cars valued over £1500. Yours shouldn't be a problem. 320touring and Broadsword 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightBulbFun Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I figured trabants would be somewhat plentiful from eastern Europe? (a Trabant is definitely on my shite "hit list" once I sort myself out a AC Invacar Model 70 ) a couple minors popped up in the ebay tat thread too recently IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hooli Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Been spending much of the break searching for a car or van for me to use and enjoy in the new year,I have found nothing I want or like.I know this time of year is usually barren,but even still. Things I like or would be useful are: Reliant(obviously) A35,Minor,Trabant etc, nothing.Unless I want an A30 for £7k from a stealer I'm shit out of luck.Hasnt done my mojo any good either,getting to the point where I just can't be bothered and will just battle on riding my MZ. i can't find it now, but there was a thread with three three-wheelers & parts for £700 recently. It looked ideal for you. LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angrydicky Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Another vote for RH here 320touring, I've been with them for years and wouldn't use anyone else. I would imagine you'd get a premium around £70 for the Oxford. That price from Carole Nash is ridiculous, unless you've got business insurance on the policy!

If it were me I’d be unleashing the fires of hell moments before his arrival. Then sit there with a smirk on my face as he’s elbows deep in it. Then again, I’m a bastard like that.

catsinthewelder Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 A long run in the 405 stopping here led me to. Followed by a drive up to Durham. It all went well considering that a mile from where I left Eddy the car spat off its aux belt it was a little worrying. Fortunately I'd packed my little socket set and my son had his model making knife to tidy up the frayed belt so I was able to fix it at a petrol station. The trailer tows nicely, just a bit of clattering from the hitch on braking. Time to order aux belt #4 and a new tensioner. vulgalour, Datsuncog, The Moog and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
