shes a good sort

[Retro-gone.]

me and debs (wifey) are really feeling the pinch at mo, to say were struggling is an understatement, we are £125 per week worse off than we were 3 weeks ago due to personal reasons,so we decided to get our heads together and try find a solution, ive started respraying motorcycles again after a 2 year break, then we decided somethings gotta go..

my capri?

my Motorcycle?

nope... deb turned and said ' im not letting you even think about selling your toys cos you wouldnt be the same man without them (phew)

 

so instead she is giving up her motorbility car, the brand new fiesta she got last year, it costs her £190 per month , so thats almost £50 per week weve salvaged..

 

when weve got out this situation we'l start lookin for an older car for her, but untill then the weekly shopping will be done in the capri.

 

shes a good un aint she

youre cruisin for a smacked leg young man

not many women would do that Tony, you got a good doris there. Most women would be like "you got too many toys, sell either the car or the bike"

 

Feeling the pinch here too, Its too much running my bike, my truck and my escort. I'd never sell my bike, so if it comes to it, the escort or the truck will go, no idea which, I dont want to think about it just yet. Plus we got Sarahs astra and her bike.

im feeling the pinch to infact im sure most of us are but the last cuple of months have bin a lot beter ive bin working on avarge 80 hours a week and things are looking up its good you ent got to sell the capri

[Retro-gone.]

dont get m wrong, in the past, specially when our 3 kids were young, id sell whatever car/bike i had if push came to shove, mainly around xmas time to fund the presents for the kids, so ive certainly done the decent thing many times, but as deb said to me, this is our time of life now, we need to enjoy ourselves and the way we do that is clearing off in the capri or on the bike for days out or weekends away.

 

once were back on the ladder we'l save up for her a little classic car

Is your Mrs legible for disabled tax? Get her to put the yellow peril in her name, and get free tax . Perfectly legal!

Presuming the cappa is a 72/L isnt already tax free???

[FredTransit]

I don't think it is tax free, but I am sure Tony will make this clear!

L is the crossover plate, it can be 72 or 73 as back then it ran from August to August.

I seem to remember when Tony found that Mk1 which was tax exempt, people said swap the ID over. Could be wrong.

[Retro-gone.]

Fred, youre right, its not tax exempt (missed it by 2 months ) ive thought about putting it her name for free tax but its only got 2 owners on log book and id like to keep it that way, besides i only tax it 6 months per year nowadays, . thanks for the thought tho

[FredTransit]

Hang on though, do you have to change the name? most motorbility cars are leased aren't they? it's just the taxation class that's relevant. Would it be hard to change the taxation class, given your wife has the certificate to tax it? At the end of the day, if your wife is giving up her car it's a wasted free tax disc. That's the way I see it anyway.

[Retro-gone.]

hmm, il look into that, if my name can stay on the log book then hell yeah im up for free tax! but when we get sorted financially were gonne get her another car, just a cheapie runabout, poss a mk3 escort.. or similar.
