Well I was gonna, but if it's *that* much of a shed...

Sorry, but I promise to send flowers when Razzle goes off to that big MOT bay in the sky.

Were you?! Thanks mate...but I wouldn't inflict it on you! (unless you've got £300-odd to spend...!!)

Thankyou for the flowers, he will appreciate them greatly!

*coughs* how much!?

Erm, I'll pass...

My little old Rover (my first car) got written off in an accident. I cried when they told me she couldnt be fixed. (or she could but it would have been twice what she was worth).

She had a name (Beth) and a personality and everything. I miss her

She was replaced by Charlotte (another rover) who was given away to a nice family who love her and look after her.

Then came Lillian Rose Ka (Lil Ka for short). I love her too. She's all bright and shiney and new and reliable and mine I talk to her too, she doesnt reply but i think thats 'cos she comes from a factory somewhere in europe, hence she doesnt undestand english

In other words, i undestand how you feel. giving up a car is hard. Expecially when you have to put them down

Cheers...as you've probably gathered, mine has a name too, and a personality and everything! Stubborn and temperamental, but I love him to bits! <sigh>
RW - you don't really think I'd give him up for a matter of a few quid?! Nah, he's all rusty and manky, and there's mechanical type bits which would take about four hours to do, which is where the cost *really* adds up! (unless you have a tame garage chappy hiding up your sleeve )
So I'll be getting the bus for a bit while Mark takes the tank to work every day. Joy!

Sorry to hear about your car I haven't even got round to filling in the form for my provisional licence yet (I'm 18...how slow am I????)

I know how upset my mate got when she had to give up her little Nova. so you have my sympathy !

Good Luck finding a new car !

I got rid of the previous incarnation of the MonSTeR-Mobile a few weeks ago. I sent it to be scrapped because I really couldn't bear the thought of anyone else having "my" car

I've got a shiny red greasy fast Italian thing now and that's just the beginning

I'm gonna be devastated whe I have to say goodbye to my current car so you have my sympathies.

I'm up to 179 000 miles on the clock now, so it can't be that far away.

Awww...*hugs*... I remember when I had to scrap my first car

It was a Mark 1 Astra, it was old enough to send out to buy fags on its own, it was terracotta with turquoise waves on the sides (someone obviously thought it was cool once!!), and it cost me £60 and lasted 6 months before the suspension went... but I loved it!!

Hope you find another car soon

Thanks guys...I'm beginning to come to terms with it, but I'll be a wreck myself when we take him to the scrappy. <sigh>
We're currently in the process of scraping the cash together for something a tad newer (we couldn't quite send mine out to buy fags, but sending him to do the weekly shop was beginning to look like a Cunning Plan!)
<off to carry on hunting for change down the back of the sofa>

I can't bear the thought of getting rid of my old car, it's a 1979 2-door Range Rover which I've owned for the last 8 years (the only car I've ever owned). It's becoming increasingly unreliable, and more expensive to get through the MOT every year, there's something not right about the steering at the moment, and part of the exhaust fell off the other week. Every panel on it is dented or scratched to some degree.

The thing is a brand new shiny company car was delivered to me on Monday. It's mine for the next 42 months (yay!).

So, a no brainer then, get shot of the old shed. So why did I buy another 12 months road tax for it yesterday then...?

All this car talk makes me want one... shame i can't drive

However I WILL learn (after i get back from France)I've been putting it off for years but it'll open huge new job and shopping opportunities to me

My ex took my lovely car

I so need to get one I'm totaly lost without it

I sold my car last week. so i can sympathise but now i'm getting a motorbike!

Oh...now I'm jealous too!
<sigh> sadly, getting a bike/learning to ride one etc is just not financially viable at the moment. Least, it would've been if we hadn't spent so much cash trying to do up my beloved husband's Z1000 <grr>
Ho hum. Maybe next year...!

I've decided that I'm going to keep my car as long as possible.

Once it gets past costing me more than £100 a month to keep it on the road it will have to go. Until then, it stays.

OK, so it's only a 1.1 Renault 5 but it's my baby & I love it


Yes I know I'm sad
