we were in Whitstable the other day ... property prices around there must bring a tear to the eye of any 1st time buyer. £Half-a-million plus for a terrace!

« on: 16 September 2023, 10:00:23 »Cost will depend entirely on depth, area and type (density/composition/reinforcement). That said, if you're only talking a couple of square feet, it should be pretty diyable
F*ck me, you're a builder now as well....?

I've had reasonable results in the past with Gunk driveway cleaner .... but it was only small stains ... not a bucket full of oil.

I loved my 24v Senator
Interiors have shrunk over time, My Carltons were a tad smaller, Omega a tad tighter.
I like a roomy car with the gadgets, sunroof and electric sunroof have to be a must on my next car, but I am not aware of anything that I would like that compare to a Senator, Maybe a BMW series 7/8 or an S class Merc. But I havnt enough spare cash to in vest in either, and would they ever be classed as a proper classic in t he future.
I never really noticed that ....
My R Class had a pano roof ..... I do miss it on my ML

Compared to a Voyager?

« on: 07 September 2023, 10:55:29 »How many seats do you need ?
Six is the minimum. And that's on and approximately monthly basis. 7 is useful as it's very often 6 people plus mobility scooter, so a 2-3-1 formation works best unless the car is mahoosive enough to have the scooter behind the rear seats.
You need a Chrysler Grand Voyager with the seats that fold into the floor (apparently not all have that option) Seats up & you seat 7 in total ie 6 passengers ... seats down & it rivals a Transit for carrying stuff.
They're getting on a bit now though.
