I also have more than one car (not including the daily driver), there are a couple of issue to consider that I have worked through; 1) Storage, you need to be able to get both out with equal ease or you will find that you use the one that is easy to get out and leaving the other parked up 2) Cost, if you want both ready to go you need to keep them both with MOT and insurance, not generally a big cost but needs organising. In our household it seems at least one car a month needs an MOT or insurance etc 3) Car type, personally I wouldn't have two cars that are similar in use, for eg both 4 seat saloons or both 2 seat sports cars. For me they need to be different enough to make it a choice based on mood. Hope it helps. Ken

Good luck all, stay positive in the hunt.

Feels unlikely to me that a knock would cause the pictures to actually be deleted. If it is a camera with a card then I would take the card out and plug it directly into your laptop - you may find that the photos are still there and it is the camera that is the issue not the card. S

Based on auction data and other sales then£10k doesn't sound that unreasonable, Hagerty say £7.5k fair to £11.6k good. But as ever, it is really worth what somebody will pay S

Bad luck! Just think on though, when you get home it is a long weekend and the weather looks decent for a change/

Woohoo. MOT today and passed with no advisories. Not sure why I worry about it

For me, too low I think. The relevant law says (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2001/561/part/II/made) This paragraph requires the plate to be fixed— (a)vertically or, where that is not reasonably practicable, in a position as close to the vertical as is reasonably practicable, ( in such a position that in normal daylight the characters of the registration mark are easily distinguishable from every part of a relevant area having the diagonal length specified in paragraph (4). I don’t see that it is anywhere near vertical and you could fix it higher up, closer to the original location, although from a styling perspective it wouldn't look as good. I think you are giving the police a reason to pull you over.

I see the same with a lot of classic cars, there generally seems no reason why car 1 is £x and car 2 is £y when they look pretty similar to me. My approach is too decide what I want to pay and then find the best car for that money and ignore the others.

He would be a still in the race with a chance of winning racing driver rather than a crashed out of the race with no points and the championship slipping away kind of racing driver

Looks 50/50 to me, and the onus is on Hamilton to avoid the leader. If he had lifted there would have been no accident and he could have gone on to win. To win you have to finish, Hamilton is too desperate to win at any cost and this will ultimately cost him the championship this year.

What about one of those mobile dent repair/scratch remover chappies? Some of them paint and they may be able to mix a small amount for you. Ken

Do what I do - promise SWMBO that you will get rid of the rs to replace it, but cunningly buy the replacement first. Then simply forget to sell the rs. Over time you build a nice little fleet.......

I went onto a "meets" youtube site too - the wife is only just speaking to me!

They are absolutely stunning looking cars

Aha, I didn't know that. Every day is a school day

I have a vintage radio in mine which has modern internals including an iPod connector, best of both worlds in terms of looks and use.

Never really got the whole Harley thing, but respect to anybody that does. Personally I look for performance when choosing my bike which explains my GSXR1000 (track bike) and Ducati 959 Panigale (road bike)

I had a similar issue in mine which was still running the original 2 bladed fan. I swapped this for a modern multi bladed fan and my overheating issues in traffic was cured. Might be worth a try and much easier than fitting an electric fan.

When I needed a valuation for insurance purposes I asked the closest classic car auction and they gave me a valuation for free

Surely it is also about supply and demand? I would suggest that significantly more 4 doors of any model were likely to be made compared to 2 doors.

I love the way these older engines are actually visible. When I lift the bonnet of my modern DD then it looks all very pretty but is all plastic.

Sounds great, but this thread is useless without pics!

Great stuff, what a cool little car.

I have one in my car, the wife got it for me and had it dated to replicate the original expiry of its 1st tax, ie 1 year after the cars 1st registration.
