Too much hassle for me. We're too used to having a car and the convenience / freedom it provides.

Good cars, those Skoda Octavias, Jules. I was a bit pissed off when I hired a certain size of car for a few days and was given a Skoda. But I was surprised and amazed how good it was. Lively and responsive 2l engine as well.

Well my motors have run into hassles. Got stung in that crash for cash I mentioned in other threads and that car got written off. Bit annoying. So I wanted another and found one. An 06 convertible. Needs a few wee bits n bobs done but I'll work through them. dice cin

Nice find, Chris, and why should some insurance thieves stop you from having the car you like?

EXACTLY what I thought Martin. I work too hard not to have what I want.
As I say it'll take a bit work but in 3 months it'll be a cracking car.

Sold the convertible. Took a bit of a hit on the price but it needed work which I couldn't be bothered with. Replaced it with this 38000miles and full Merc service history. 3.5 ltr V6. It's a keeper.

Amused to find that both my car (Subaru BRZ) and Ruth's car (Audi TTS) are exempt from London's ULEZ charge but her little old Mini Cooper D would be charged, despite having a DPF filter. Meanwhile, many buses and taxis have no such filter but are all exempt.
As usual, the execution of their emissions policy leaves a lot to be desired.

Blanket laws with holes.
The norm unfortunately. Might be tightened up
