You are correct, that's me. Had plenty of interest which is encouraging. Either way, hopefully I'll be back on the road sometime in the near future. The 30 miles drive I did has given me the bug!

Fire & Skill that is a great find! Thanks for the free advertising :) It's a bit far for Bob to travel I think, I'm from the North-West of Lancashire. If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask. I'm in 2 minds what to do to be honest, sell up and shop around in a couple of months or...

I'm looking into it Bob but the only cover I see the AA do (who I'm with) is relay which will take you home or to a local garage.

Cheers Mark I'll try that. You say local but I am covering almost the entire North of England (100 miles in each direction but granted half the population are fish), any further than that I'd get into stupid money transporting the car.

Thanks Bob the Builder, is there anyway to test this?

Yes Bob, I hope you're well. I've got the photos ready but didn't have the heart to send them, I'm on a mission now to get it fixed (blind hope I think it is).

Back in October I bought myself a Pulsar after doing plenty of research. I found one which fitted the bill; only 69000 miles, thousands of receipts including recent work done on the bottom end bearings and turbo. The car, importantly, was also rust free and as a bonus the interior was in very...
