John tarantula Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 John, what did the MX5 go for in the end? I'll have to stalk the new owner now to see what he does to it! The Pug I was looking at has sold Looking for something similar still, if anything I need one for the bad weather (I live in a semi-remote area, and moving to a worse one) I'll send you a pm with the selling price. he's got plans for it and will stick a thread up on Nutz.

jollyranchers Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 i also got a shed which i can park anywhere , throw anything in it and its great cost is around £600 a year for mot ,tax & insurance and an oil change save's a few ££ on petrol i'd say go for it , you can always sell your shed and probably not lose anything on it if you find its not working for ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I was looking into a shed because I rake up the miles on my zed. I do 100 a day getting to work and back and at 25mpg thats a lot of cash on fuel. But, whilst I could easily buy a cheap diesel for 500quid which would cost me nothing to run, its the insurance which is going to throw the whole idea out of the window. Even on admiral multi-car, I was looking at about £600 extra to insure a 2nd car. Add onto that road tax, an MOT, a yearly service and factor in maybe £150 a year on other bits which need replacing or repairing. And it worked out that I wouldnt be any better off than just using the zed full time. Its a shame as id love a shed, maybe a 4x4 or something which I could use as a 2nd car to drop that mileage on the zed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
