RE: [doc] RE: RHD cars

[Nick Tomlinson <nickandkathryntomlinson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I take after my granded in not changing cars every year (when the petrol has run out or the ashtray is full??)
 
I had my VW Polo Y reg for 12 years (when I was a carefree student), only failed MOT twice. I only gave it away because I needed a diesel for site visits.
 
My boring Astra is probably going to be the same way. What you don't lose on a new car pays for Delorean, Hoilidays and the mortgage off. This and you don't care if it gets knocked in car parks.
 
I won't ever beat my grandad (now sadly passed on), he had a 1924 Triumph Gloria he ran until the late 1960s, then a Hillman Minx for about 15 years, then a Triumph Dolomite 1300TC until he stopped driving in 1995 thereabouts. He still had all of them and are now still at his house.
