I forgot to update this.
The car is now 21 years old and has now covered just 16500 miles.
She passed her last MOT in March with only an advisory for the same tyre it had the advisory for last year
lol after 985 since the previous test.
Uncharacteristically it needed a repair last week!!!! The exhaust flexi pipe started blowing, a quick, easy and cheap fix.
The clutch bite point is very low to the floor now, but its not slipping, so I'll see how long it lasts.

Yup, great

A huge 428 miles
and a year later its MOT time.
I've found a great little independent family run garage that I can really trust. So therefore it was tested by a different MOT station to last year.
It passed again with flying colours, although an advisory for wear on the NSF tyre, obviously that's not the cars fault and just consumables.
Very pleased.

Time to sell?
Na, for what we would get for it we would never get another without spending a load more cash and to be honest she don't need anything better as she uses it so little. Also on a different car it may come with issues/problems. This seems to be trouble free.
Plus it costs peanuts to run.
Insurance for us both : £109
MOT : £25
Tax: £155
I change the oil myself now every couple of years and I've not had to spend a penny on repairs for a long while.

Excellent. Being a Ford I'm amazed it doesn't need more maintenance to keep it going. What have you replaced since you've had it?
Rear silencer rusted due to condensation build up, a few batteries and Two rear wheel cylinders as the rubber perished and they leaked.
Most of that is down to the lack of use tho.

Another year (19 now years old) and 901 miles since the last MOT.
I used a different MOT station again to see if they agree with the past MOT's and yet again another clean sheet, not one advisory. Happy days.

Nice car and well done on the price.
As for Superguard
Unless it was free it's a waste

f**k me, I bet he had a headache after that

It's not the shark type aerial supplying the images.
There will be various cameras around the car. Check under the wing mirrors, front grill and tailgate. Those images are all stitched together to create a 360 degree image. They then just place a stock birds eye image of the car in the centre.
It gives the appearance of looking down from above. Buts it's just clever cameras.

Wow, absolutely amazing trip. Very jealous. Something like this has been on my to do list for ages.
Did you do Lombard st in San Fran? Or was that beast too big?

Make sure its ice cold

The ones on my phones keyboard.
The Jackhammer is nice if it's very cold. You also have to be in the mood for it as its strong at 7.4%.
I've also tried Mr President several times. That's even stronger at 9.1%

Oh wow, interesting. I would have thought that lump of crap was heavy enough already.
As it a CC (convertible) maybe its something to do with roof mechanism adding some weight to balance the roof when opening or closing? Or just giving gravity a hand when going up/down?

Yeah it was the file name being too long.
I had already resized it.
Thanks
