I'm glad I'm not the only sentimental one, I felt bad not only parking my '99 car away when I got the new one, but also when I started it up a year later - just needed a battery charge and tyres pumping up.

Any ideas how much extra the dual car insurance policies work out ? I saw them on Keith Michaels website.

Pete, I still think you would have been better off getting rid of Mrs Lewis instead of the Impreza.

Your car will go down as the stuff of legend in Scoobynet.

So we should see your detcans and open source mapping equipment up for sale soon?

i looked into it with my company and i can pay 6 quid a day the day i want to drive it, all i have to do is ring them wen i want to drive it i.e weekends etc for 90 days out of the year its like pay as you go lol, but its not insured at all wen just sat in drive way but the guy on the phone said if ewt happend just ring us up and insure it for weekend and then claim....???? and to tax it i just ring them a week b4 it runs out and they will put on as its insured for the day of tax buying,,,sounds good but its still to maintain and m.o.t fuel etc etc

OLDSPLICE:-

I keep forgetting to electrically fold the Honda's mirrors (yet my new car HAD to have them!!)

I keep thinking the Honda is 'pinking' ... was about to buy a CockLink, then remembered it's a diesel

These Diesel Honda's are, apparently, very adaptable to a bit of re-mapping ...... it's already got 340Nm of Torque - imagine 400? The BHP is lifted from 140 to something like 180 ..... I read.

So, I may be keeping my Det-Cans, Mapping Laptop and CockLink Cables

I have to keep unlocking the car, turning the key and folding them in. Oh, and I keep going to push the aerial in! :

It's nice to see long term cars .... that's about as good an advert for the car you can get.

I laugh when I see the adverts, "Need to sell my cherished, beloved, Scooby after 6 weeks - I cannot afford to run her anymore - will consider part exchange for BMW M3, Aerial Atom or Rolls Royce Phantom"

We all know they either bought a pup, or have polished a turd and are trying to sucker in some mug ....
