Never mind, shame though.

Car just returned. Garage owner interested in buying it as his missus has mobility problems and with the siding door rear doors and no central pillar it's easy to get in and out of.

 rubschin:

An opportunity!  Thumbs:

I'm thinking of selling Kia-Ora next year... She'll be 4, have 3 years manufacturer's warranty and 2 years MoT (plus some new tyres)...

Cars from the UK have become 'spensive post-Brexit so I reckon I could get a good price...  rubschin:

I know I held onto the Shogun for too long (16 years)...
So what you got your eye on instead?

I've been very pleased with it, I'll prolly get another...
:thumbsup:
Well, whatever, nevermind

Just been rereading this thread; I wonder how Growler is these days.

Anyway, 8 years later, just had the old motor collected for a service/MOT. Still looks like new. Although I'm not allowed to drive at the moment (medical reasons) I'll probably keep it as it's not going to be worth much if I sell it. Low mileage, only did 399 miles since the last MOT; Lockdown and illness saw to that.

Tempus fugit   noooo:

Two years later...

Car ten years old! Just taken away for a service and MOT. Still working fine (better than I, another hospital visit due Wednesday)

My Merc is 6 and a half and still hasn't done 20,000 miles (19991).  I used to do 25,000 miles a year

Just reinsured it on a very limited mileage basis.
Well, whatever, nevermind
