My insurance is up for renewal in five weeks time so I'll ask about cars over 20 yrs. old once I receive my renewal notice for 2019. Thanks for the heads up Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gel Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 Yippee ! my MB2 has just passed it's MOT.....cost me £270 but what the heck tis cheap dependable motoring for another 13 months. My insurance is due in a few days time so I now know I have a car worth insuring...... I'm now entering year five with a 19 year old car bought as a stop gap.....The Honda God must be looking down on me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gel Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) I was nervous this time round because I had a right go at the MOT Garage a couple of Months back when they misbehaved .....thankfully they weren't spiteful. I even had a new car lined up ....I can now stop dreaming about cars that run on a whiff of petrol but cost a fortune to have sitting outside my Home most of the time.

Dave Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Youll notice a big difference replacing the shocks/springs Gerry. I did with the mx5, totally different car to drive after new ones fitted, and they were just oem spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unlike yourself Dave.....all cars are personal to me i.e. I treat them as one of the family and maintain 'em accodingly. I can easily source new shocks and springs for under £100 but I'm unsure if it's wise to pump money into a depreciating asset.....if I had a desireable car like the Vti-S I'd have no quams about firing money at it. My RL brake calliper is quite troublesome so it may be wiser to replace the sticky calliper before I think about shocks/springs. You've "got me going" Dave.....well I am a man that allows his heart to rule his head until "Her Indoors" chirps up.....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
