Default Don't you just hate it.

Don't you just hate it when that one person keeps banging on about mileage, Oh yeah my car is never out of the garage and all this never seen the rain and they tell you your doing it all wrong.

Too me just keeping the car in the garage all year round and not using it is like having a girlfriend you never do anything with her or even have the odd shag she's just a star Price.

Sure you risk the odd things breaking down but why buy it in the first place?

Because You enjoy the damn thing.

This was supposed too be a relaxing walk with Bruce the GS wolf wolf and I get this what a great start too the morning.

Tatty watty what the.

First time I've heard of it.
Made me laugh.

Should be okay mate everything's on the table now and also have back up from a witness as well which is a great help indeed.

I've got this in the bag.

I'm with you all the way on this. I do get so fed up at times of the "look how wonderful my car is" & the "only done blah blah miles" things.

If you want to have that kind of car fine but those of us that don't, don't want to keep hearing about it.

I've enjoyed every car I've had, all for different reasons, well maybe apart from a gutless 1100 mk1 escort, & I've bought them all to DRIVE..!!!

Its nice to see well cared for cars on the road & that's the thing, On The Road. Should I want to see unblemished or "special" cars then I'd go to CTM, Gaydon or Beaulieu.

I will now probably need my Tin Hat & Rhino skin

Regards

Paul

That's exactly what I mean and its just way too much banging on about the same thing just wished he shut up.


He had a know it all look about and his personality stinks.
I can see why people do it too increase the value but don't just be a arrogant beep about it and just enjoy it.

Its like that's the only thing they know about the car that they can think off is any good if they used it more then they think of more things about there cherished machine too talk about.

Paul I'm offended by this, I have covered a whole 191 miles in my car since I last had it MOT'd

Surely that makes it special and therefore worth more

No, what it means is it costs £1.57 per mile to run

On the other hand, I've covered about 28000 miles in the other ones

It does look nice, and is available as a backup car in the case of the others becoming defunct.

That too me is fine your using it and still goes out and about, but this bloke just stores it away and never uses it he even said that he haven't tuned it over in the last 3 years I bet she will still crank first time.

Engines don't like too be left standing for too long.

What beeped me off he kept saying I was wrong and that I was stupid for using my Ford as a daily as it will affect its value and profits in the future, I couldn't give a flying Monkeys.

That's what I bought it for as a project and as daily fun runner.
don't mind opinions but when the name calling starts which this chap did that was it then.
