You are right about the price Anthony. I would leave the Navall in the car and throw in the colour coded new spare front bumper, all in for £2,500 and see what happens. I am having the electrics checked on Wed by one of the gurus. You have great insights, spot on

2 years ago I spent £4000 on LJW and last year £586 to Jules. This year, nearly £400 to Andy, so can't complain. I am up to about £7000 in outlay over the 4 years of ownership and am calling it a day, even though I love the car I am feeling like a change.
Wow, and I thought I had spent quite a bit of money. My biggest expense, was the clutch and the recovery of the vehicle. £849, that was hard to swallow and the ear ache I got from the wife lol.

Together Forever

Lonely days are long
Twilight sings a song
All the happiness that used to be

Soon my eyes will close
Soon I'll find repose
And in dreams, you're always near to me

I'll see you in my dreams
And then I'll hold you in my dreams

Fully understand your feelings Phil, no matter how much you like a car there has to be a cut off point. My 160 was named "The Black Widow" by the previous owner's partner because all it did was take his money!

Morning Derek, Sorry but missed your post as it is very busy this morning. The Pol sounded and looked fantastic, really gutted I missed it. However the stories of the queues to get in sounded awful.

I mustn't think too hard Steve, it might hurt my wallet, but if I do my sums right 1 minus 1 should make zero. How's Georgie?
