Im still on the named driver stage. Young drivers get slaughtered on insurance, I have been quoted £1450 on my 1990 1 litre Polo, it has 45bhp!!!! I believe you have to be over 21 for classic car insurance policies, its a couple of years off anyway, both me being 21 and me being in a position to buy one! Landy looks mint by the way!

Try Firebond - they are great!!! Vehicle must be 10 years old - I now pay £140 fully comp compared to £600 which was my cheapest normal quote. Only thing is it must be a 2nd vehicle and you are not covered to drive anything else.
Hey codders

you are very pretty!.....love the hair....so is codders really a woman?

Now come on Hugh - don't take the p***, you know Codders can't be a woman'cos he knows far too much about driving and motors and stuff. This is obviously his bird, innit? Codders, does she get a bit assy having to travel on the roof? You Welsh! You know how to treat a woman properly...

have to take care guys, otherwise all the moaning whining anti cod bashing brigade will be posting their yawns all over this post asking everyone to move on!!!!!!

i know folks are only picking up on the fact that cods talked about his 4 lights on the roof and he only has a bird in a roof rack on the roof but there may be a simple explaination

actually if this lady is codders that would be so funny!!

but note in my posts i have not taken any cod bashing stances!!!

Wolverhampton is an awful place, it's full of people with funny accents, Your vehicle will need a very good clean cos of the rain and the grit on the road.

meeting a geezer with a funny accent round his house tomorrow morning at 8.am, i think you know him by the way, then meeting another with yet another strange accent north of manchester to pick up a white thing, then meeting another chap with a funny accent for coffee, then travelling down the m6 to meet a brummy in a truckers cafe to pick up some shiny stuff. then home

so tomorrow is all about meeting folks with funny accents!!! no doubt i will sound a bit odd to them too. and wolverhampton cant be any worse than basingstoke!!!

always found our friends up north to be very friendly and helpful and tomorrow is testomony to that

SPOT on!!!

Actually my light bar is removable - when I take it off I can then put the anti riot screen back on - great for driving through trees!!!

These pics were taken quite near Swansea - will go later back up to Black Mountains and Sarn Helen - the roman road.

Well spotted - yes the nice alloys have wider all terrains - much better on tarmac and sand. The steel wheels have taller mud pluggers - awesome in snow. Great for crushing pallets for my wood burner as well. Drive the Landie over a pallet and it smashes it to bits - you don't even feel the bump!!!

Snowing again in the hills - freezing fog as well. Just getting the thermos on the go - and YES I am just a big kid!!!
