Have I completely lost the plot ? Is it that Dutton Leggera? I have a weird liking for that, and imagine it would be rather handy with a few tweaks. The Maxton Rollerskate looked very similar.  Look at it this way - it's an MoT'd MkI Escort for £1495. Sigmund Fraud 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Have those ghastly Audi 4x4 cars (Q7?) become the new wanker chariot of choice overnight ? Of the last there I've seen,I had one trying to undertake me and several other cars on the M53, one on his phone weaving all over the road and the last one trying to force me into the kerb.

Cavcraft Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 PVDan, have you got a reserve set on your listing? If so it could be chancers bidding to see what it is then retracting, an age old trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticvandan Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 That's the mad thing,there's no reserve.I've ended it (bastard eBay £20 fee!) And put it on a buy it now with offer now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtriple Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 For the second time in my short ownership of my new Honda, some bugger has hit it while it was parked! This time it looks like a towball has gone into my rear bumper- perfect egg sized/shaped dent in the back. Just had the one at the front sorted as well (someone scuffed the bumper first week I had it). Is there some way that I can have the bloody thing hover seven feet off the ground whenever I park it? What gets on my tits the most is that no one EVER admits what they have done or apologises... both my dogs (who were in it at the time) have whiplash and I want to claim!

Station Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 My trade insurance was £1,200 a few years ago. Last year boosted to 1,350!This year: 1,800!!! I've never made a claim in my life, have nine years no claims, live in a nice area, and I'm a Graphic Artist.What the, I don't even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Mine went to £795. just because I said I wanted protected no claims. Had a chat with them and they found somewhere who didn't offer that, and the upshot was I got it for £445.Trade Policy companies are getting really twitchy now, I think they're flapping about 'real' traders and those that like to just have a few cars of their own, can only assume people have done what people do and made stupid/spurious claims on their policies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cort16 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 When I said I was cancelling mine they dropped it to 380. As you say billy they're twitchy as fuck about you trading and I was worried if something happened they'd go out of their way to prove you're not operating inside the terms of the policy , wouldn't pay up and I'd get done for having no insurance . This really put the shites up me when the coppers started pulling pizza delivery drivers and doing them for no insurance for not declaring work use on their policies . I've also noticed my bank balance has gone up since I've stopped buying random shite just because I could. scruff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratdat Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I had a traders policy for about 16 years but gave it up about 4 years ago after they started getting silly with the restrictions. Basically they decided they would no longer cover me SD&P on anything over 23 years old, modified or imported which pretty much covered everything I had. This, despite the 'business' stated on the policy being classic car based. Oh well...their loss. My FJ multi car policy now provides way better cover for less money.

Asimo Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Another handbrake issue, seized caliper on the Civic that we gave to smallest child. Grrrrrr, thought we had got out of that one before I had to do 'owt to it. Working on handbrakes is the least pleasing car maintenance there is I reckon. What's wrong with a chock? rml2345 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sterling Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 It's the weekend. The weather has decided that despite being windy and rakny this morning, the sunny weather has fought and it's way through to shine agajn. This is problem because it brings out the wanker chavs on my road, who in turn bring out thier noisey quad and motocross bikes and blast them up and down the street. This then brings out the stupid waste of space chavette girlies. Hurry up Winter. EssDeeWon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave21478 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Man, there isnt much worse than a quiet afternoon shattered by some fud on a scooter or wee motorbike....50cc or so, and an exhaust loud enough to make you wince from 50 meters away. They accelerate like a kicked cat from 0 to about 20mph, although the bikes seem to need about 18 gearchanges to get there, but then the low gearing works against them and they have to wring the fuck out of the motor, with it screaming its balls off to get it up to 30mph and then it need a silly "tuck down behind the fairings for less drag" pose to get another 2 or 3 mph out of its top speed.Fuck those guys. alf892 and EssDeeWon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cort16 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 What car are you getting in Inverness?I'm too embarrassed to say.
