Just SORN'd so that's the C out of action now until April 2008. Seems a long way off at the moment - anyone else doing the same?.

I gave up a house with a double garage for the current one with a single otherwise I'd probably have another toy :lol:

In what seems like a strange piece of irony, my car has been SORN'd since mid summer, and will be taxed and put back on the roads in perhaps 2-3 weeks time... just in time for Winter !

 

... but then I never was one to play by the normal rules, LOL

Well I could tell you the spec of what's going in there, but honestly we're still tweaking some aspects of the spec. Trust me though, it's going to be almost unique - certainly in UK terms, if not in Europe.

 

It'll be worth waiting for... I'm starting to allow myself some excitement at getting it back on the road, even if it is now 40% over budget...

Wish I had a garage, so I could keep one car SORNed over winter while driving something I didn't care too much about, but I don't! Applied to the council for one of their garages just behind my house but that could take years! :(

i'll be working on mine over the winter,however I'm going to re-new the tax next month so I can have a play when I feel the need.And so that it is legal to drive so it can be tuned etc.

Not going to use it as a daily drive though.

Sod's law will say it'll be the driest/ warmest winter for years...

 

Bill word of warning.. I did the same with my skyrocket 5 years ago! :shock:

 

So how about lending me the RS's for the winter seeing as you won't ne using them! :lol:

I wish I could SORN mine :( Mine is a 365 days a year daily driver :(

 

Stuck in the vicious circle of the car costing me so much to run, I can't actually scrape the cash together for a daily hack.

Cheers jim, I can tell you're a bit envious. Used it to rescue judith once when we had a very heavy snow fall, those mountain bike width tyre's dig in a treat. :D

 

Could maybe do with a sticker that says my other car is a Corrado though so I dont feel too embarrased when folk have a giggle at it :?
