The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Hitched up and ready to go. Towing to just outside of Shaftesbury this morning, to a nice looking site we haven't used before. We're having a week there, then moving on to Somerset for a week. That will make 52 nights away in the van so far this year. Reckon we might make it 70 this year.
Weather looks like its going to hold.

Morning all. @screenman can I pick your vast knowledge of the motor trade. What's the best way to sell a cherished number plate, I've got one which I've been trying to sell for the last year with no luck, I've tried eBay, Facebook and Gumtree.

Reduce the price, sounds harsh but everything sells if the price is right. There are a few dealers out there that will buy them but most I feel work as agents and stock very little.

Never miss a chance to advertise it, even on places like this as judging by how tight many cyclist are some must be minted.

Now what is the plate?

This is it from when I had a Jaguar X Type......

Does £750 seem reasonable ?

You could try this or a similar website, I don't know what they charge though.

Morning folks. A rather damp start to the day here, but hopefully it will brighten up.

Morning

We had an alarm fitted in early june and it went off at 1AM this morning.At night we set it for part sensor which means it is turned off in our bedroom and the hallway.It is saying it went off in the kitchen which has a pet sensor fitted so i haven't got a clue why it went off.No signs of disturbance but man is it loud.I think it will be apologies all round to the neighbours.

Going to buy a soft lead for Mollie today and probably more toys although she has loads already. I know she will eventually chew through it but we must start lead training soon. She is having her second injection on Monday so won't be long before we can take her out. I love it when she comes to greet me in the morning. She is adorable.

Dave, you young whippersnapper, you got me all excited when I saw the alert, I thought ooh good dave wants to buy my number plate.

Thanks for your concern, I am on a couple of Jag forums, but no luck there.

Morning all, I am not in MrsP's good books at the moment. As i got a bottle of vinegar out of the cupboard, it knocked a jar of mango chutney out of said cupboard which bounced off of my arm and landed on the corner of the hob. It has cracked in 3 places and broken the corner. Fortunately MrsP has got the hob insured and she has made the call to the company who are going to send out the assessor.
I only wanted to cook poached eggs for my breakfast.

Sat in the garden centre at Wistow with coffee and toast. I hadn't been this way for ages and had forgotten how lumpy it is round by Saddington.
