I did at the time but now I appreciate it to a certain extent.

My folk's rule was that if I wasn't in education I needed to pay them rent. When I failed my HND and moved back in with them after college they asked for £40 a week. The dole paid £50 a week, a good incentive to get a job!

I also had their garage and would often find my Dad had repaired my car while I was at work, which was nice.

.



Also, at that rate they'll still have been making a loss just feeding me and were also stuck in a huge house when they wanted to downsize.

Overall I reckon I still owe them 6-8k for bailing me out repeatedly...
Like many great parents, they will consider that an offset against inheritance tax, especially if either or both of them vote for Fidel “it all belongs to us anyway” Corbyn.

Fantakah R20 but a even longer a journey to procrastinate!

No reason he couldn't train then ferry then cycle to pick up that R20, he could do a video blog about it to see if anybody was interested!

I'm so tempted by that pug estate. however I've a rusty c15 to finish welding, an Xm estate to finish i got from the same seller and the head gasket to do on my BX. Another car with a short mot isn't really what i need but it looks great!

So tempted that you bought it. Well done that man!

(At least someone here knows what they want and goes and buys it, instead of dithering like fuck)

I can arrange a lift but coming from Derbyshire. Just so I can ogle another c15. Miss mine!

My dad linked me a 525e this morning. It's the red one with beige seats on C&C for £2500.
It's suspiciously cheap and looks gopping, though.

I'm looking at another, tidier sounding S3 Jag on Thursday. Coventry registered and the seller's address is on the site of the Browns Lane factory. Good omens?
I'd sooner have an E38 than an E32.
