Re: Weston super Mare Pageant of Transport, April 30/31st 2024

We shall book as a club and convoy up :lowrider: WSM used to be my local seaside, but not been there for 20 years at least. I spoke to Mark, he is organising something. They usually meet at the local McDonalds then convoy in. I can find out what time if you like to join them? Andrew. I assumed he w...

Re: Weston super Mare Pageant of Transport, April 30/31st 2024

I know a few XR owners are hoping to attend :) Sounds good! I know with this show that if you want to park together, you must arrive together. It's a good show if the weather is good and there's plenty for non-enthusiast companions to do if they tag along. Andrew. We shall book as a club and convoy...

Re: insurance

Most agreed values are confirmed by a minimum of 6 pictures. That's certainly the case with Lancaster, along with your own self assessed gradings and details on works done etc. I find it a bind to do actually, but fear of not having it makes one do it, which I'm sure is the case for many. I've ofte...

Re: Good Motoring News

I think petrol prices are fairly low at the moment :D Sadly more bad news! It appears VED is going up again this year, and pre 2001 cars under 1549cc will be £210 over 1549cc will be £345 per year! That's alot of money for cars that only some can afford or those close to becoming exempt that only ge...

Re: insurance

Most agreed values are confirmed by a minimum of 6 pictures. You can only tell so much that way as always better too see a car in person which some car clubs will do and give a written report. Always been sceptical as to how easy a total loss pay out would be, but I will continue to have agreed valu...

Re: David Soul

70s essential Friday evening Essential is an excellent way to put it Andy. It's difficult to describe the impact and how era defining some of these shows, and the stars, were. Only 3 T/V channels and far better programmes too, many of which are still aired on certain channels :cool: I remember as a...

Very nice Nick, but glad I'm not your neighbour :lol: We sold our Cambridge Audio tuner and CD unit a few years ago as we didn't have the room for it when we moved, and to be honest although we have loads of CDs, tapes and Vinyl we don't play much music in the house, but when I do I now listen to it...

Re: The 2024 Mustang

I wonder if ICE cars will be worth a premium over EV's especially as the supply starts to dry up. I can see it now in a few years when a lot of people are charging at home we will have power cuts because the grid cant cope so they dont get charged, how will people get to work or do there job? As mu...

Re: The 2024 Mustang

For those that want one an EV is fine, but if you are forced to have one and live in a 10th floor flat or a house without a driveway how do you charge it from home :headscratch: This matter doesn't seem to be addressed when these vehicles are being discussed. But I would assume that flat/apartment ...

Re: Weston super Mare Pageant of Transport, April 30/31st 2024

Add your name here if interested and maybe we can have a stand of some sort. Might it be a good idea to communicate with the South West Capri Club as they are sure to be going? Last year they had a corner of a field all on their own (see cover photo). https://www.facebook.com/groups/180773116124121...

Heads up I got a email from Admiral saying they will no longer be offering agreed valuation ? What a bummer my car insurance runs out end of February so will have to look at a new company ? Agreed value is a must JM! I'm searching a selection of classic insurers this year too! If I don't search I d...

Re: The 2024 Mustang

Saw on the news this morning that 22% of new cars sold from today must be zero emission vehicles! So will dealers that don't hit that target refuse to sell you a petrol or diesel vehicle?
