Just make sure you are insured (you can pick up one day policies for about £15 on the internet if you don't have "other cars" on your policy). If mine wasn't in several hundred pieces and at the opposite end of the country I wouldn't mind at all. :D

As for "test driving" would I not be considered a tyre kicker? Would any of you guys let me drive your pride and joy?!? Of course it would be better to get a shot of a car before I decide but can't imagine getting many go's. Am I getting a bit fastidious about all this? Maybe my hangover kicking in<alkaseltsersmilies> Best go eat something.......... :allbetter:
It's the only way to make an informed decision. Cars are for driving, so there's no point having something that you like the look of, but find imposible to drive.

*BUMP*

:lol: Well, I got my car back in November and hopefully, he got his today!

Mines a Ford - his a Triumph dolly sprint.

Wish us luck and give us good honest advice always please!! :bluewave:

My main issue just now is the sex of the car! I reckon male but he's calling it female. I'm not sure I want to share him with another woman. Surely a brown car has gotta be male?? :lol: :lol: :lol:

PS do any west of Scotland members ever have a "meet"? Really enjoy our Ford club for making pals and swapping advice.

TTFN :mrgreen:

Well there's a thing now! FWIW, mine (Dougie) is very, very brown but this wasn't instrumental in deciding his gender identity, my last one was called Dougie too and I have a great forgetory! :oops:

My brown car is female I'm afraid - can't help it, from day one I started calling her 'she'! I reckon it depends on their personality and looks, just whatever feels right!
