Yes, after being blacklisted from Footman James classic policy for too many changes (26 in 6 months is apparently excessive) a traders policy was the only option. Unfortunately it makes it far too easy to go out and buy any old shite. I do try and stick to cars that I like then sell if I don't enjoy using/owning them.

Do you have a set of trade plates yet? With careful use of test drives you should see a significant saving on road tax....

Seems like it might be more hassle than it's worth, I find it easy enough to tax by direct debit and sorn when not in use although I'm usually quite lazy and can have 8 cars taxed at any one time. I try not to think about how much I waste each year taxing multiple cars.

That's an impressive list dodgy bas.

The only problem with your post was having to scroll all the way back up to the top to hit the thumbs up button.

About time hooli put the button at the bottom of posts instead of the top.

I've no idea if/how that's possible, but the same thing annoys me a bit. I suspect it's a thankless task related to style sheets.

Well, I guess I have to correct my previous account. The 405 saloon remains unsold, hence I'm ending this year exactly as it began. Which feels a bit weird, since this is the first time in my life this happened.

Usual case of buyer going silent?

I thought it ended on quite a low amount.

A quiet year this year it started with the Thunderbird, hearse 806 and Yaris and has ended with the Thunderbird still here (I had hoped to shift it quickly) The Panhard my indestructible 806 and I now have my dads Auris hybrid as he has had to stop driving. It really is a boring car but does 50 to the gallon and is a 4 door so I can take him to the shops etc when required.
