No longer a teenager
 
On this day 20 years ago the old bus was registered so now officially out of her teens. She might even get a wash and polish this afternoon but here's one i prepared earlier :)

Cheers,

I think she deserves a nice relaxing Wax on top of that polish to keep the sunshine away from the poor paint. Oh how I wish I still mad my pre launch car. I miss her she was the best equiped 75 I have ever owned.

The day before she died she had just had her winter wheels fitted and had been given a wash polish and a wax along with the inside geting the full leather care treatment and the dash and Glass cleaned and polished RIP baby I still miss you.
Polish, wax, glass polish, wheels and tyres dressed, along with a dash vallet.
Happy Birthday, Hear is to the next 20.

another 5 years and she should be tax and MOT exempt you should be able to get classic low mileage insurance for under a hundred pounds.

Sadly my young broker girl has now retired and it is definatly costing me more than when Wendy used to get me my insurance. there must be more wnedys out there who specialise in classic cars and unusal cars. not just the footman James people of the world. Wendy Always got me about 50% less than the footman managed for better cover always with guaranteed valuation For the brief Time I owned the three bugs the three of them were on a single policy restricted to 2500 miles valuation of 15k per piece year 1999 cost £89.50.
Bring back that level of customer service where the customer is always right and the word can't does not exist, I relay miss wendy geting my policys for me.

Under normal circumstances she's my daily driver and used for work so little chance of classic insurance but under £250 this year so not too bad anyway :) She's also pretty basic spec too with exercise back windows and manual aircon but i quite like that as it's less to go wrong (and for Trikey to fix :p: ) Once this is all over she will have her normal rims refurbished and back on with a nice new set of summer tyres as a treat :)
