Re: Trying to grow up.
Well done for picking an oil burner!
A mate had one fitted with the lane assist and cruise control toys, meaning the thing will pretty much drive itself... A laugh a minute on the Gairloch / Ullapool road and potentially super exciting Down South. .. He was pleased with it though, so hopefully you'll enjoy it! J

Re: Trying to grow up.
I just find the whole road tax thing mad! - my R1150R is £102 per year and a V40 Volvo is just £20 - and the Goverment want us to use cars less!!!
Enjoy!

Russ
Enjoy!

It started badly, it tailed off a little in the middle and the less said about the end the better, but apart from that it was excellent.

Sounds like a smart move Reg, You will find it easier to park and get in and out of without the odd involuntary fart

Sounds good to me , I think that would be approx €1800euro to tax in my part of the world... my 23 year old 1.0L costs €200 euro.

Re: Trying to grow up.
I've given up on trying to grow up!! Given up the retirement thing and gone back to work, recent birthday pres from me to me-- a new Mini Cooper,did consider a new bike but haven't worn the old one out yet!!
Re: Trying to grow up.
Well done Peter. It's not really work if you're doing because you want to.
Enjoy the Mini. The Union Flag rear indicators are causing lots of bluster from the Nationalists up here
All the best

I "might" have done my last contract - but it feels like retiring early? WTF is that all about??
A neighbour opined that sometimes who we are professionally - defines who we are and who we think we are, and therefore we can be loathe to give that up.
Who knows?
What I do know - is that buying a Perfect Draft Beer Machine - leads to more opinions.............

Think you may have consumed too much of the freebie keg they gave you with that piece of landfill.?
