QuoteQuoteI personally would pop a note through all the neighbours doors saying the council are re-surfacing the road on such and such a date and could all residents please ensure all cars are away on this date.
Then when the street is clear get as many Omegas as I could and line the street with em!

Well put Broocie
I have trade insurance which covers me to drive any car owned by me or in my possession 'in connection with my business'. So, I cannot just drive a friend car unless I am doing work to it etc.
Before this, I used www.dayinsure.com to get Fully comp. It cost £10.50 and allowed me to collect any car and drive it without worry, but obviously that car had to have a current MoT and be taxed and roadworthy. The exception would have been to take a car for an MoT at a garage within reasonable distance. ie, I could take an un-MoT'd car for its pre-booked MoT on the other side of Nottingham, but not to Birmingham. Note it has to be PRE-BOOKED.
My understanding of this 'other peoples' cars buisness is that the car must be rigitsred to the person you say you are borrowing it from and they must hold insurance on it themselves, hence why it is easier to just use dayinsure and count the £10.50 cost in with the cars expenses.
HTH
I used them to pick up my elite, think is the same system as i paid £10.50 but it was though Norwich Union. Printed out a Certficate of my insurance and took it with me, incase plod with their new systems stopped me.

think rocks would be better than seats in the Polo!
Ford's sporty seats I found are very comfy, my early Mondeo Si had bucket sport seats & were very very comfy and supportive. Just the apauling ride which let it down!

There are very few cars that I find as comfy as the Omega, being fairly tall at 6ft4 ish... leg room is important to.
Most cars i have to put the seat as far back as possible, but not in the Omega.
I drove my grandparents new Polo its basically the new model just would that slighly differnt nose, and i could not get the seat back enough for me. Very tight for space, and the ride was apauling very very choppy.
Same with my mums Nissan Almera, seat does not go back enough and results in a very uncomftable position.
So when I come to replace my megga it will have to be a Monaro!!... DAMN!

i hope you do more!! 
Remember it was your Projects Ronnie which inspired me to do mine. If it was not for your projects and posting them on this forum, I would never have bought a project car, now thanks to you I am on my second & sourcing my third!!
This has had a chain reaction, as Jamie jumped on the band wagon too. I am sure many more will follow, you've started something here
I'll keep my eye out for sick meggas which need your help!
