Cheers Mark.

Hi Lads.
The Chuggle Bus is going to sleep for a while.
I will decide in the next few months whether to
sell her or not.
Cheers Mark.

Hi all.
The chuggle bus has been asleep for a year. I desided not to sell her yet.
I spent £11.00 and fixed a little hole in the rear wheel arch and she passed
the N.Ireland MOT :D :D :D :D
Going from a 1.4 back to the 2lt, i thought maybe the insurance would go
up but its actually come down from £110.00 fully comp classic to £93.00
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Tax will probably kill me though :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Cheers Mark.

How strange with the insurance. It's not like it's older than the Banana or anything :?

Glad to hear it passed. Will they be doing away with tax discs up there? Roll on handy monthly payments then! sm4

Hi mate.
No such luck. As you know, there were two places in the UK where you could tax your motor.
Coleraine and swansea. The gov have shut Coleraine down and we now have to tax at swansea
in Wales. A lot of people lost their jobs out of it :( :( :( .
Cheers Mark.

Hey Mark,

How's the chuggle bus going? Is it soon time to get the Banana out? Are you going up to Ballymena on Saturday?

(Wish I could, but I'm working and hopefully I'll get finished in time to catch the footie).

Hi Rich.
Yes i took the Chuggle Bus to Ballymena classic car fest. The car got
quite a bit of interest { photos on bake book }.
Sometime after i got back, some dirty scimbag B*****d smashed the front
fog light. So will have to find another.
If i were still in work i would have shot the F****r
