I realise you've probably weighed up all the options but have you considered renting a garage in your area? Also sometimes wagon repair yards and farners can be a good bet if you're happy with the storage facilities.

I also have 6 points Kitch, my insurer says to them it makes no difference, is it worth ringing them to check?

6 points usually make no difference if they're totted up SP30's, but mine were an IN14 (permitting someone to drive without insurance....it was anal.....long story).
I've also got 4 points worth of SP60 and 3 points of SP30! So they do make a difference sadly, about £250 worth!

I've tried to find storage Billy, but in honesty (and no disrespect to anyone living in a similar area) the garages all for rent are in run down council estates with louts loitering on street corners and pushing burning rags under garage doors, with overbred families screaming, shouting and fighting all night long. Crime is high and morale is low. I'd rather nail my balls to a lampost than put it in there.
If I could find decent space to rent, I'd jump at the chance :(

Just a thought mate but is there any container hire companies near you? I've seen some in the past who offer hire at a reasonable rate, possibly worth a try?

There are, but they're all on the docks. After a few weeks it'd be a pile of rust on the floor with all the salt in the air :lol:

Car is still available. It needs to go :(

Please don't make me eBay it! If you've fancied a mk1 for a while but haven't cropped up the guts to take the plunge, snap this car up! It's alot better than average and I'd rather find it a good home than get as much money out of it as I could.

You'd be hard pressed to find anything on LW or MW now I guess? Probably a straight choice between Radio 5 Live (so you can listen to Liverpool getting tonked every week :D ) or Atlantic 252 if that's still going. And if it is I bet they still play the same bastarding records every 20 minutes :evil:


Right, back ot: Any interest in it yet from the bay Kitch?

No interest yet on the bay. but obviously it's early days.
