Re: With Regret

Hi Andy,
You might be able to go cold turkey for a while, but how long will it be before you have to get your next Capri fix? :)

Re: Classic car insurance

Hi Mike,
Thank you for taking the time to post comprehensive explanations, it's really useful having your legal-eagle knowledge on this forum.
It can't be easy explaining complicated legal procedures to the man in the street, as it were.

All the best,
Andrew.

Re: Classic car insurance

I bet that if you did have to have your car somewhere else temporarily and something happened then you would lie about the circumstances, adjust the truth, the time, where you were or whatever. Hi, You'd lose that bet, as there is no way I would lie on an insurance claim form. It's not worth the ri...

Re: Classic car insurance

Hi All, Surely there must be a clear definition of 'home' or 'away' in the context of where the car is located? Either way, it doesn't bother me that much, as I've never left the car elsewhere overnight in the vicinity of home. There may be a time in the future, but as it may only be on an infrequen...

Re: Another bargin on ebay

Thinking of it, I can't think of a single genuine legitimate reason why anybody would even want to buy a V5 without a car.
Does anybody actually collect this stuff?

Re: Another bargin on ebay

Yes, you are right, but why isn't it clear to the people who matter, i.e. the authorities! Maybe it's easy to get away with it because of all the genuine memorabilia that the seller also has listed? It would be difficult to claim that the V5 is memorabilia if it's being sold by a scrap dealer, for ...

Re: wanted capri tailgate struts

Hi,
If you already have some struts you can get them re-gassed at SGS engineering.

If you haven't already got some, Martin at Caprigear should be able to supply them.

All the best,
Andrew.

Re: Classic car insurance

I would state without question that you are competent and knowledgeable enough to know the accurate and realistic value of your own car. Hi, That's very nice of you to say so, thank you. Perhaps the CCI valuation may help to set and achieve a sales figure for the car? After all, I think that a valu...
