A friend could write one out for you and scribble the previous owners signature on it really and they would be none the wiser tbh and saves a lot of hassle.

I know Will, dont think I didnt consider it, but I always think I will get caught and land up in trouble, I wouldn't make a good criminal

Wouldnt reccomend that tbh carl However for making life much easier for both parties as well

Ok nor heard from Admiral for a bit and was going to phone today, but when I got home I found they has send a cheque out of the blue.

£2810 which with my £250 excess added, values it at £3060.
I was just wondering what peoples thoughts are, should I ask for more? I dont think its unreasonable to be honest as it had no history from before I bought it and it needed a 3/4 respray to make mint: stone chips, dings and flaky lacquer.
(It was a 98-R, 80K, air and leather, mechanically good, cosmeticly slightly tatty.)

thats not too bad is it, they keeping the car?

Yeah never gave me the chance to get it

yeh i wouldnt moan at £3k, not tooo bad really.

Yeah thats my thoughts as well, could have been worse

You got your eyes on a replacement yet Mitch?

Thinking about one of these Stan , I dunno. It has to be something fun but cheap to run

Seems reasonable Mitch. It's a pity the Fabia vRS hasn't come down in value yet
You could have stuck a chip and a mod or two and been very happy.

I'll let you have a drive in "Project Jigsaw" when she's rebuilt if you get withdrawal symptoms.

Hehe yeah love to

Either that or we can drive around in all the bits that'll be left over

So when are you getting the replacement and what happens to the RepBox?

Repbox is going on ebay now as soon as I sort it. It stands me as £650 now but it has 12 months MOT so I should get my money back. New car ASAP

Arent those MX3 small V6's a nightmare to work on?? i heard certain cooling pipes often go and require loads to come off the engine for you to get at them??

No idea to be honest KP, they dont even have a UK owners club or forum. I will look into it but I will be very surprised if they need more TLC than a 20VT.
I drove one the other day and I had to rev the balls off it to get it to move but It seems to like it and sounded sweet. Driving position is nice and handling felt good.
