So, I've been looking for something RUTHLESS for a wee while, since the Lotus* went, and in between going to visit an old Scirocco (which obviously had a roof), and a couple of MGFs (both terrible in the flesh) and an MR2 that had bad paint, I did that old Ian Bollox trick of putting in a derisory offer on an ebay BIN and forgetting all about it. So yeah, that happened, and luckily I didn't buy any of the other cars I went to see, and then I was in a meeting at work and got an email saying "WELL DONE, WHEN YOU PAYING FOR IT YEAH?", and I hastily arranged some trains. Classic insurance didn't like it, but managed to fudge it on an MGOC policy which they also administer and I avoid cancellation fees on the other insurance.

Admittedly I've only done 30 or so miles in it so far, but the coolant is currently still as it should be...

Oh yeah, it's from Birmingham.

THE END.
So yeah, I went to Chesterfield on the train (11 mins train, 20 mins bus to station) and nice MG Selling fella picked me up, whisked me back to his yard, we slagged off some mutual motor trade acquaintances, and then I drove home, completely shitting myself, but completely without incident.My, how interesting, tell me more about ringing a company up and procuring insurance off them
