If you could let me have them id be VERY grateful, my cars being scrapped and i cant manage 3 kids on the SV, so it looks like the bikes gonna have to go unless a minor miracle occurs (either a lottery win or my mum giving me her car, the former is more likely!!)
Why is life such a b1tch? It's taken 38 years for me to finally find something i feel truly passionate about and just as i start to properly get to grips with it **** happens and it might have to go. I am not a happy bunny, but as ever the kids needs come first, how can i justify them missing out on stuff because of no car whilst ive got a shiny bike sitting in the garage. I can still use my partners sv to keep my hand in, but it just wont be the same ![]() |

The starter motors gone, and though thats a minor thing on its own, its just the last straw along with tax due aswell. Have already been quoted £700 to get it through its next mot due after xmas cos theres all sorts of problems with the turbo and emissions amongst other things. I should have taken it off the road 6 months ago, i cant believe the police havent pulled me over before now, i guess they couldnt see us through the trailing clouds of thick black smoke!
At 130+k miles its had a good innings, i just cant afford to throw cash at it anymore. My lovely OH has offered to buy a car on HP but i can't let him take on more debt for me, his jobs far from secure and its not fair to put additional financial strain on him. Theres only one sensible solution and it sucks. ![]() ![]() |

ah jeez that sucks. Have a look on autotrader for some old-ish VW's, they usually last a long time.
I remember Treacle selling his old Golf for only £500 recently and it was a very good runner. Good luck hun.

A dangerous game to play. I know someone who did this very thing, made an off the cuff prediction, wrote them in plain sight of a lot of people and 5 plus the bonus ball came up. To say he was a bit annoyed would be to put it mildly. Buy the ticket

You know what, dont worry. Alot of people get themselves into real financial trouble because they dont recognise, or at elast ignore that they are struggling a little. You are very wise to take such a big desicion.
How about sell the SV, and get something smaller that is cheaper to run, insure and tax, but you can still have fun on? |

IIRC Scoobs is also having some bad luck at the moment so you might be right they may just be the winning numbers he's given to everyone!!
