Well, it's gone

[oldbloke]

Sold the Cavvy, for 150 more than I was offered for trade-in. The V5 is winging its way to the DVLA as I type. Well it will be after the Sunday 12:30 post collection.
To a bloke from Brighton... yes, he came about 280 miles to buy it.
OK, so he gets to see his boyf wot lives in Manc as well, but still...

Yeah, that sounds about right. I had a Daihatsu Mira (*) which cost nearly five grand and it lasted me five years and 90K. Now I have half shares in a volvo estate & a diesel Fabia - both of those are still going so the jury is technically out, but the Brick's cost about 15-1600 so far for buying, fixing, MoT-ing and the odd oil change for good behaviour, so if that lasts another year without further intervention it'll be running .8K a year BUT it doesn't do many miles. The Skoda's cost was all upfront (5K again) but hasn't really cost owt at all since AND it runs on water more or less.

(*) I always thought I should take a photo of this with me whenever I went to the States, so that when the car hire bloke asked if I wanted to upgrade I could slap it down on the counter and say,
"THIS is what I normally drive - and it only has three cylinders - and if you offered me the chance I would prefer to DOWNGRADE to that rather than drive yet another wallowy, badly designed Chevy "Cavalier" so there"
but I always forgot.
