PMSL sorry guys I wandered off to bed.

The old boy is off the road at the mo as he needs a few bits and pieces doing to him.......hes tax exempt cos of his age and I have classic car insurance which is very cheap...... he is only a whisper away from being roadworthy again....it's just time and a bit of cash needed really.....

I'd have to be on my uppers to let him go as despite the fact he's looking a bit sorry for himself at the mo I just love driving him and I'd always wanted a Moggy.

I'm hoping to keep him if I can. He's a lovely old boy xx

Keep it. You have brought up your children and the rest is now up to them. You are entitled to some pleasures, after all you are not a taxi service.

There comes a time in life when our kids must fend for themselves.

Get them to use public transport, walk or have driving lessons.

Have fun with your MG.

Pat

Steve, i didnt mean literally shurrup lol

i had to physicaly pull out the indicator my side hehehhe!

Steve,,, shurrup! lol,, trailer??? lmfao

Nooo Muffy...........You can't sell that!

They're little gems..........I remember the sticky out indicators to. Well often only drooped. lol

:o))

EDIT and now road tax exempt.

Blimey Muffy - your car is nearly as old as me and I'm falling apart. How on earth do you keep the thing on the road?

LOL

p.s. I bet the insurance is cheap though - we have a 1959 camper van and the insurance is peanuts and tax is zilch.

I suppose you could attach a trailer with seats to the MG. lol
:o))

Yes running another car is more than just buying one.
If you purchase a small 2nd hand family car. ie a Fiesta 1.1 which will be in a low insurance group and in the lower road tax band, will reduce the running costs.

:o)

OK - options:

1. Take them by bus - do you qualify for a bus pass? They can pay their own fare.

2. Ask son/daughter to stump up running costs of second car - tax, MOT, insurance etc. Do they contribute at all to your childminding fees?

3. Move to a far flung corner of the country so you don't have to ferry anyone anywhere and will therefore force your son/daughter to learn to drive so they can come and visit.

There are bound to be other options ...

LOL

OMMMMMG Muffy! dont sell that! My mum had one, split windscreen i had to unstick the indicator on my side lol,, lovely car! i had a morris traveller wich i re did the woodwork spent ages on it

sorry it was me deleted, posted twice,
its a two seater lol ,, definately inconsiderate of family

If they need you to ferry the children about could they not contribute to it?

I'd be very wary of selling a pride and joy car tbh. I have a 1959 Morris Minor which really I SHOULD sell......but can't bring myself to lol xx

Steve, how many journies will i have to do in an mg to ferry three peeps and does the baby car seat go in a front seat? lol

Mrs Grumpy,,, i would if they drove, but they dont!
Muffy,, its all about the tax and insurance for another car,,, thats my dilemma

Can't you squeeze one or two of the tinier grandchildren into the back?

Or ferry them one at a time in the MG. lol

:o))
