Early morning test satisfactory, car returned to son Jonny. Another job jobbed.

Nice one

I do observe a level of petty and inappropriate comments and sniping in this thread from a few, its uncalled for and not needed.

There are over 7 billion variants of human on this plant and growing, no two the same.

I personally applaud Terry for running a good number of cheap cars, cheaply.

Thanks for that Mark, we all know who we are talking about, and as you say, completely unnecessary sniping.

Well said that man, but it shouldn't need to be said 


Granted, terry paget has had a fair few issues with some cars bought recently, but that is always a risk buying older cars.  But for the most part, it seems they have been cheap fixes, so all worthwhile

We all try to help our family when we can, and if terry paget's way of doing that is to provide working vehicles to his childern, surely that is to be praised, not berated 


And on top of that, I find the trials and tribulations of his cars interesting, and when I see him getting the help to resolve the issues, well, that makes OOF worthwhile to me.


Although I hope, and believe that no malice was intended in the posts in question.

I think it probably comes from a place of good intent - in that none of us want to hear that Terry keeled over while trying to fix an Astra/Omega/Corsa/etc for his kids.. but I also know what my Dad is like, who I literally cannot stop from turning up at our house to do DIY (he turned 71 this year).

If I have half as much energy as him at that age, I'll be a lucky man .. assuming I haven't croaked of a heart attack.

Your Dad probably thinks you're about to, so feels the need to help out!

Yes probably all in jest for a laugh, I’ve not been on here as long as most but I find his stories and trials interesting and applaud him for not giving in whatever his age or whatever he’s trying to fix
