For the Freehold, the price is bonkers IMHO - it's in a standard residential street in Herne Bay (about a mile from the sea, so no boat storage premium should apply). I don't think the street has permit parking either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puntopaul Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Bought possibly the worlds most moldy, but only slightly bird poo covered Punto. Believe me, the pictures do not do that statement justice in person!! Which is complete with a battered, and awful looking passenger rear quarter panel. And a half eaten drivers seat, the rest of the interior looks like a tramps vest.. Not sure why I agreed to buy it, I'm meant to be getting rid of cars! But felt sorry for this one, either I bought it. Or some kid was buying it, for a field car to no doubt finish it off. Since it still has a little mot left, seemed a waste. So either a great save, or I'm an idiot. Still its mine.. all mine.. ohh shii###... I've done it again.. Wish me luck, or enjoy a laugh at least.. paulplom, BeEP, mercedade and 10 others 8 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than me being paid, to take it away. But it was ridiculously cheap, and if worse came to worse. And its beyond salvation, then the wheels an the catalytic converter etc.. Would sell / scrap for more than I paid, then you've got the shell and engine. So not terrible, but I'm hopefull of giving the car some redemption.

junkyarddog Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 More Golf tinkering today. Nearside sill had some perforation on the lower edge,but the rest is quite solid. I did buy a new pair of sills for it,but don't think the originals are bad enough to warrant replacement. Rust chopped out. New section made up from sheet steel. Trial fit. Happy with that, Didn't get it welded in today. Rain stopped play. My gas is running low too,hopefully I'll be able to get to the stockist when it does. danthecapriman, Split_Pin, Semi-C and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although my commute is now about five metres longer, overall I'm really happy with my decision. I spent a good couple of hours this afternoon hiding in my van too, it's like a bloody call centre in the house with three folks working from home on conference calls from about 0800 non stop all day. A decent collapsible table is something that I really wish mine had. There's a free standing one that shows in the wardrobe, but it's a right faff to set up and totally blocks the thoroughfare when you've got it set up. Might need to think about that in the future.

N19 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Admiral insurance are apparently giving customers £25 each with no catch, in light of the reduced payouts expected through less use. (I'm probably doing slightly less - although having swapped travelling by LOROL for the A406 to get to work leads to more daily mileage - doing almost no leisure miles and I'd probably have done a couple of trips into the countryside by now). Wonder if others will follow suit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clayts450 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I must be bored. Just done my 19/20 tax return. The turnover (cash accounting not traditional) in my new venture was less than a grand, so no need to worry about ins/outs, just popped in my P45 details from my last job, added in the interest on bank accounts, pinged it off to HMRC, 200 quid tax refund due. Lovely. I think next year's will be a bit harder than the 10 minutes it took to do this one ! chodweaver and catsinthewelder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my Jan to March VAT to do before May the something, but i may as well do our self assessments instead of waiting until 30th Jan 2021. One of the contracts I've applied for is "umbrellor only" . Wankers. Ideas for removing money from LTD company and making it "dormant" ? I'm thinking redundancy of 30k for my staff.

clayts450 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 You don't need to do your VAT return (unless you really want to) - concession because of current situation. I'm doing mine at the end of April, however, because I want to claim back the VAT on the van purchase, plus I'll also (hopefully) have been paid my first 17 invoices by 30 April 2020, so can offset the VAT due against the rebate.

busmansholiday Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Pulled the lawn mower out of the shed today. Cleaned the plug and away she went. Third of the way around the garden there was a fooking great bang and it stopped. Dog (who was helping by placing toys in front of the mower) looked at me with that WTF was that noise look. Looked at mower, part of the quality* repair I did last year was separate from the mower as was the air filter cover. Turning the mower over and looking the dog looked at me with that "looks like you're found those missing 75*50mm L shaped metal brackets you misplaced when fixing the shed"!! chodweaver and BorniteIdentity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still currently earning, and I don't think it would be right to defer my VAT whilst thst is the case. I will leave payment until last point in time.

There isn't currently anywhere near. 30k in my LTD company, there is my VAT and the proportion of income that i've set aside for the corporation tax for my year that ends 30th June, and therefore needs paying by March 2021. Plus a bit of a buffer which on my calculations is worth just about enough to last til September maybe October if I had to claim on the furlough scheme for May and June. That is 3 or 4 months of the barest minimum we can live on, if i stop paying into pensions. But if I had to go umbrellor, I'm assuming that I could just pay the buffer out as tax free redundancy and close the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownnova Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Having SORN’d the 2CV at the beginning of the month I could bear it no longer, and had to pay the tax man to put out back on the road to do the weekly shop...

Split_Pin Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I had my virtual car viewing last night and it went splendidly. Pending conclusion of the (currently understandable) protracted length of time the DVLA are taking to action the owner's request to transfer his private plate to his new car then I see no reason why I will not own the car soon. I will be having it delivered to abide by Covid lockdown rules. Those that know me even a bit will be unsurprised to know what it is!

junkyarddog Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 More Golf welding has been done. I'll be glad when this is over, Nearside sill is now welded up. The hole is for the side skirt. Then onto the nearside rear door seal lip. Turned out reasonable.,seal fits nicely, will need a scrape of filler to finish.

Split_Pin Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Took delivery of a full PAS system for the Audi today including brake accumulator and also with 1.8 specific springs and struts.

Zelandeth Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Wow...yes, those plastics were indeed in dire need of some attention. Never realised how bad they were until getting some treatment onto them. Of course having got myself thoroughly sidetracked doing that when I randomly found the bottle in the garage, I've now utterly forgotten what I went outside to do in the first place. chodweaver, jumpingjehovahs, Skizzer and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
