Lockdown update #1

Image
This was a year ago yesterday; can't believe I've just SORN'd it until further notice. Berlingo was sold to a nice chap from Autoshite, went a day before the lockdown started.  Have given the 147 it's first proper clean, was hoping to sell that too but it'll have to wait now.  This would be a good chance to replace the cambelt, but it would mean getting the parts delivered via mail and that's hardly essential, is it? This is SORN'd too, along with the silver CLK.  I'm keeping the other road-legal, so I can at least have the roof down on my weekly visit to the grim, Soviet-era Sainsburys.

You want this

£500 to you, I reckon that's top value but it's not getting a lot of interest on Autoshite.  I decided to see how much it would cost Monkeyboy to insure as his first car - £1522!

CR-V

CR-V bought today!  Got fed up looking at battered examples at dealers who were asking top money, so instead bought a really clean one from a private seller for 2/3rds of the price.  It's not this actual car, but identical. This is the 4th car in 5 months, and I'm not even trying.  I've really upped my shite game and some kind of award must be due?
