    I have no idea at all who adrock is, or what I'm supposed to have said to him/her. Other than the comments on this thread, I have no 'feelings' about adrock or any of these other online entities.

    Poor litle mr b - his addiction to me is 'like heroin'!

    How bizarre.

    I'm soooo dull.

    Can't understand what adrock et al are on about - I have no idea at all who adrock is, or what I'm supposed to have said to him/her. Other than the comments on this thread, I have no 'feelings' about adrock or any of these other online entities.

    I do, however, have strong feelings about house prices.

    That's why I bother to post here and read here.

    Others are welcome to disagree with my views.

    If they do it sensibly, my respect for them increases and my views change - I've learnt a lot here.

    If they post nonsense, expect to be cut down to size, by me or other posters;
    this is a public forum, after all, and people reading posts on a Money Saving site deserve to be 'saved' from posts that are going to encourage them to make extremely expensive mistakes.

    Have a good day all!

    We also have an old car - 11 years old, I think (R reg). It's a 1.6 litre Fiat, good fuel economy, has been very cheap to maintain (we've had it since it was 3 years old) and it works fine. Especially in WC1, no-one will ever nick it, as it's always the oldest and least valuable motor about (-:

    Thats another thing, you know it will be there when you return.

    Apart from the time OH reported it stolen when we were about to go out, then a couple of hours later, remembered where he'd parked it (different place....)

    He wanted ME to go to the police station and let them know. Guess whether I did or not....?

    ooh, Lordy! I remember my 1st motor: a 1956 moggie minor with 'trafficators'.
    came off the isle of wight. 45mph max. my mates ripped the p*** out of me but I loved it. nearly 30yrs old when I bought it but I held onto it for 10yrs.

    my 1st kiss was with elizabeth r*****, in the south of ireland. **oh the nostalgia**.

    see you didn't express an opinion on the z4, broders............

    Ok since you have asked twice, it was admittedly the worst car bmw ever made.
    I took at v reg in a couple of months ago in silver, it had covered 26,000 miles, had been garaged most of its life as its owners lived most of the time in tenerife. We sold it immediately so there is obviously a market.
