The fleet...

[Rich H]

We now have:
An 8 year old MX-5 with a fresh MOT fail for rusty sills (Panicky phonecall from her earlier, about £150 to fix)
A 10 year old Elise with a crunched front end (going for repair, they can match the paint now apparently)
A 30 year old Porka that won't start (Spark problems? Needs investigation)
A 50 year old landrover with a termial fuel leak (About 1" hole. £250 for a new tank??!)

What a collection Looks like I need to open a scrap yard....

Too much fannying about with it - if it ain't broke....

battle scars - you will only break it again why repair properly use ducttape

30 years old if you repair it, it will just fly off the road and kill you it's safer not running

Rather miffed about the MX-5 TBH, the anti corrosion was only 6 years! Even the recycled milk bottle & stella tin Elise has 8 years (And rotted through the floor on que at 8 years 1 day )

To weld both sills £160 inc VAT seems ok, there was a hole in the one and the other is rusty as hell.

Would have spotted it had she told me it was due

[Titanium S1 111S (gla)]

£160 inc VAT

to buy an e-bay welder which I can use on all the other cherished vehicles as well

seems ok

Porker is running, just 3 sooty plugs....

MX-5 is in for repair should be ready tomorrow so getting better slowly, but it does mean she is taking the elise to work tomorrow unsupervised.....
