    Yup, between work, Dad duties, weather and everything else I havent used the Fuego since Blyton! Perfectly good track car sat there doing nowt
    The Quadra has done 4 miles since it's last MOT test. The MOT expires Jan 9th

    And now the 172 needs it's 3rd set of tyres in under 10k and road tax

    Best time of year to keep them in the garage/off road. I have used the van daily due to my peugeot's clutch failing and you cant get the power down whatsoever

    I've moved and left mine Just can't be bothered with the poor thing anymore.
    I'll probably leave it till the suns out and MOT it and use it as a daily

    After changing clutch pedal and upper steering columb last week. The steering still had play found the mounting for steering rack had broken. Got it welded till mike reopens and that broke in two days. Ordered that and my ignition coil went, got that fitted the next day and my starter has failed. Oh and got to tax her again monday. My other half wants me to get rid of the car now hopefully 2014 will be trouble free touch wood.
