Silver and 4 Doors?

This is fun.....lol All wrong so far!

FINALLY got insurance cheque through last week after over 2 months!! Picked up new car yesterday..........its a????????? Double Zero....dont give it away!

Its a long drawn out affair. Made me a verbal offer of £5k last wed. Was meant to have sent docs for me to sign that day, but still not arrived! Thats 2 months since the crash tomorrow!! Nationwide Crash Repair are terrible. Its them delaying and not Aplan or Marketstudy. Hopefully going looking for a nice sensible station wagon at the weekend, thanks to my taxi...Double Zero!

Did you manage to sort your dodgy headlight? Was the weird smell a little like burning cash? lol

Yet another bill.....the TDI looms closer mate!

Excellent article mate. You ever consider giving up the Navy and going into Motor/Travel journilism? Dave

You changed your tune!!!!!

lol.....very amusing. tempted to try a test, but best not!

Ouch....thats why I am over 250 notes up this month. No scooby to feed = lots of cash. Got £45 argos vouchers from Shell last week. Worked out they only cost £4000. Bargain!

Shocking mate. I stay in Carronshore myself, although aint got a subaru for the feckers to steal while insurance is sorted. Keep an eye out, but cant see it being in the area here. Dave

My mate had one of them a few years ago. It was something like 350 bhp. He also killed that rally raiding. lol. Then he killed his scooby to. Good thing he is banned the now!!!

Dont even start me on that. Not even got 1st offer. Docs took two weeks to arrive then the insurance lost the FSH and Recipts. All turned up today, so should get one tomorrow. Havin no car is killing me!

"by accident" Thats why i never meant it. lol. Can now at least!!

Try some rally raids by accident and realise yer crap and kill it in a ditch. Thats what I did. Least I dont need to sell it eh! I am considering a BMW320i or maybe back to a mondeo(had one before). Nought to the Scooby standard. Nice and cheap to run! Well in comparison to the Impreza

Not through choice...I crashed mine, but to be honest the cost of running(again about 50 miles a day) was killing my wallet. Once insurance cash is through, I will not be getting another for a while. These are great cars, but like you say sometimes the head and wallet needs to rule the heart.

Thats below the belt

Yet another "I saw a subaru" post Stephen! Yawn!

Man this is what I dont miss about the car mate. I have save £300 this month alone in fuel! Hope it gets sorted soon buddy, and and not to much cost.

Completely agree. When in my mates car before I always feared for my life! He was nuts. Saying that, he is now on the rigs, and has a newborn, which I believe will mellow him out. Besides, think it will cost a mortgage to get insurance anyway!

Dont think thats right. My friend is on his 3rd ban just now, at a hefty 3 years, and rightly so. But he is due it back in January.

Totally cr@pped it when the police thumped the door to serve the papers. Thought I had missed the court date and it was a warrent! Glad its over now, like you say, its the worrying waiting that kills you. Dave

He said its not even added 10% onto his premiums. But hes loaded anyway, so could not care less on the cost!

Just take two weeks paid leave...problem solved!

Its a pity we dont have the English Law for traffic offences. They seem to prefer giving out short bans rather than points. My mate got caught doing 106 in England on a 60 Limit. He sold his M3 expecting a long ban. Got a 2 week ban and 120 pound fine! To make it even more ironic, he was offshore while the ban stood! Prefer that thinking to Scottish Law!
