Did you say you're a student?
You have 5 cars, one of which is a Landy, and a classic boat?
How does that work then, ie...funding?
I couldn't even afford to buy a car when I was a student let alone run one!
Saying that my mate had a Series 3 88 at 6th form and then borrowed it for the next 3 years at Uni!
Nice choice of cars though, lovely boat too.
;D

thought it best update the progress of the moggie. basically I decided to whizz off the tow bumper, weld up and fill the holes and paint touch up any surface rust and move the batt to the boot ( for easy jump starting and more space) I filled the holes of the boot, filled it, and fitted a solenoid have a look for yourselves..        hope u enjoy |

Nice fleet!
How's insurance on the Scimitar? I really like them, but I fear that insurance will be a killer (I'm 20, studying Electronic engineering at Bristol).
