Ghosty Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 Trainsplit's a blessing. Besides, I like trains. They're one of the few places I can comfortably read books for some reason. Six-cylinder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the new high speed trains whose seats are like sitting on an ironing board. I agree. Not as comfy as they were, and Detachis are fucking dire, but still passable for the most part. My train is 20 minutes late thanks to a trespasser, and I have a 30 minute connection to make in Birmingham. 😬 mk2_craig, Six-cylinder and Fumbler 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 Well I made my connection at New Street - three minutes instead of 30, and saved myself an hour's wait. But I'm fucking starving. Shite Ron and Six-cylinder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Last time I was there was on a collection mission to pick up a Dodge 50 Series which I then drove back to Norfolk. I think it's a safe bet that your drive home will be quicker and quieter than mine was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Q Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I would post something like Quote All Your Civics Are Belong to Ghosty but it's not really funny when it's true. Have you ever had problems with the insurance companies when you change cars with them every 72 hours? I recall some other chronic shiters have been accused of being car dealers and had insurers refuse them any more changes in a policy year.

Just off the M5 in Halesowen a mere six miles from the services I was at. And free parking outside! Shite Ron and loserone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one's mine - the Prelude has serious potential for ruin so needs to go, especially considering I got it in a deal that benefitted me, and that was my only reason for accepting it. Despite being the same spec as my mum's, just a bit newer, the spec is different. Both have electric windows and heated electric mirrors, mum's one has a sunroof, a Honda branded radio and central locking. Mine has no sunroof, no central locking, aircon, a centre armrest, and a Pioneer radio... EightMegs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not got there yet, it's not always the same policy I'm switching or starting so they don't notice too much. I use Admiral by default unless Performance Direct/Grove & Dean will quote it as they offer me £2-300 insurance on classics. For moderns that Admiral won't touch I go Esure. I randomly got a renewal email from Confused for a Peugeot 306 (possibly the estate I had?), and it was something utterly reasonable like £350.
