I sent an email today requesting an application form and my free magazine.

Do people think I'd be able to pick up a decent car there for around the £500 mark ? Preblems is, if I do I wont be able to get it home.. maybe I'll get a few bits.

You should get a good solid car for around that price. Getting it home? Thats why we have greenflag :twisted:

I know a surefire way to 'break' a triumph which the recocery person will not be able to diagnios or fix and will give the apperance of a major engine failure for about 2 minute effort.
but of course this would be an abuse of your breakdown cover so im not telling :D

My sprint had a very handy concealed switch in the ignition circuit. I have of course removed it now. Along with everything else... :D

Ah, well we wouldn't want that would we ?

Look forward to learning all about engine failures on the day.

ken has a pm ,not that i would tell him how to break a triumph ,they do that without any help :lol:

putting in a switch to kill the ignition live is easy to overcome if you know your electrics.

you need breakdown cover at least two days before hand to get recovered home. if you sign up then breakdown you only get roadside asistance with most clubs. but if you lucky enough to be with someone who has full personal cover than all the better.
