It amused me to see the Carlton in the background as I'm sure you were going to be selling it some years ago.  |

Err you would be correct but to sell the damn thing it has to be a running drivable car with MOT and tax Yeah it's insured but the other aspects of being road legal are proving somewhat frustrating |

Contrary to popular opinion, I do have mechanical sympathy, I always feel sorry for the cars I drive.
