He who drives a new Jag ain't hard up. I am poor, very poor and all I am thinking about is a second hand small toy, all men should have a toy, perhaps not small but one that can give a man some excitement and pleasure in life. I was thinking something modest like this..

But bottom line cars are a waste of money and the reason all my life I would not spend more than £3000 on one.(Except the two I have now). In fact the only good car, and I have mainly had classics, is the car that costs £1000 gets used for 65,000 miles over several years and is then sold for £10,000.

Bad news for poncy Porche Chelsea Tractor owners, read today Bentley is making the Ultimate Tractor for the ultimate snob. In the car world nobody can be number one.

Are you sure, was there not another 1 in front of that £174.?

No that is it Emjay, two quotes from well known company's came in at £174 Full Comp and two more under £250. Road Tax ....

And I am not for now believing that £100 from Malcolm.

Re: Car lights

You are quite right not to believe it DofE !
I was wrong it is actually £164 !!
I can't believe it's gone up so much ... I shall have to look round for another less expensive insurer
