Money seems to have cleared, so that’s another small part of my car history turned over!

Ha ha ha!

I much prefer the Catherham to the yellow thing, you've made the right choice.

Thank you. And as I parked the WReX in the garage this evening, I certainly didn’t look at the Caterham and think ‘woof!’ Um…

Bought myself a flat cap a couple of weeks ago. Mrs hates it and the boy has taken to wearing it backwards… which I pointed out isn’t really the ‘thing’.

Seems to have gone missing…

So to up my Britishness, I though a Defender would be a fun but usable winter car.
What’s happened to the price of them. $40k for a half decent ‘90s model. There was a time an imported one would sell for $15 - $20k and I thought that was scandalous!

Oh well, maybe a Mitsubishi Monetro (Shogun) then or Toymota 4Runner if I can find one with less miles than the Starship Enterprise.

Bugger, the price of used cars is bloody insane. Just saw a LandCruiser from 2004, 220k miles and a mere $18k. 2001, 170k miles for $20k.

A rusted 2000 for $8k. There’s another 2001 for $6,800 with a mere 197k that might be worth a look…

Hmmm…
Chirpy burpy cheap sheep Jeep?

With no annual test I would be inclined to sort the scooby mechanically and just run it into the ground, you shouldn't be jacking under the cills anyway, always put the Jack under a chassis member or use a long length of wood to spread the load.

[Hooli]

Aye run it till it snaps in half, or get it welded up.

Who needs welding in the US, the structural pop rivet seems to be the go to for repairs.
