    Replaced the Black Jeep Commander in my avatar (loved that car) with a newer Grand Cherokee in white - with a black CARDIFF plate of course.

    Must get someone to change the pic for me - have tried several times but just can't work that one

    A 15 year old Focus with 180,000 on the clock. An original Mini with 29,000 miles on the clock. Looking to get a Mk1 Escort RS2000 or Mexico if I can find somewhere to keep it.

    I sold my Mk1 Escort Mexico in 1977 for £1200. Now you will be lucky to get one for less than £25k.

    Crazy money at the moment I started looking for one about 10 years ago and I thought the prices were way too high back then. They've doubled in price since. Like you, I had a Mexico avo and sold it for next to nothing back in the 80's.
    Funnily enough I found an old car magazine a few months ago, dated 1983 and had a quick flick through. Loads of RS's, Mexicos going from £500 to £2000.
    If only I had a time machine

    how often do you get the car out ? ? ?
    Ah, you should do it! And splitting the cost is a great idea.

    I SORN the car in the winter and keep it in our garage but this summer I have done Donington, Castle Combe, Oulton Park and Thruxton.

    I’ve done most of the UK circuits now as well as Spa and The Nordschleife.

    But you should do it. You won’t regret it honestly.

    Let me know if you want to chat it through as it took me a while to convince myself

    I used to live near a guy who was the editor of " mini world " ( or something similar in name ) he was rebuilding a mini at the same time as i was doing the VW Splitty, the prices he was paying were fair, he did his mini for just over £1000, i showed him a cargo door handle for the VW that cost £750 i was rather envious

    It’s a T120. Great bike to ride and a real head turner.

    Don’t know about the scramblers sorry. Come to think of it I don’t think I’ve ever seen a scrambler over here

    Company car. Jag XE. Just about to switch to my final company car a BMW 3 series. It’s a hybrid automatic. I’ve driven over a million miles in my life and really won’t miss it when I retire. Having a nice car is great but really counting the days until I retire.

    Re: What car do you drive ? Not one for the petrol heads

    I drive an Audi A5. I'd always wanted one, but it had to be silver, petrol, manual gearbox, and with a leather interior. So when one came along, I just had to buy it. It's very low mileage, and I'm not adding much to it, but the big Audis go on for ever anyway.

    Don’t have a car. Borrow ‘er indoors’ Mini Cooper when needed.

    Can you explain why diesel cars are a bad buy please ?

    Re: What car do you drive ? Not one for the petrol heads

    A Class Mercedes and a Land Rover Discovery.

    The Land Rover is an automatic, the first I've had, and would happily never change a gear again.

    They are not a bad buy financially! great MPG and a good diesel engine can run forever..

    However they are stinking dirty, when in traffic lights behind one I can taste the shit the shit coming through the air vents, just really bad for peoples health and the environment, and in the near future existing diesels will be taxed heavily to get them off the roads.

    Not all diesels pump out a load of shit. The most modern diesels are to Euro 6 standard which includes lorries which makes very clean and efficient.
