Decissions, Decissions, what to do.

Keep it Carl. You'll miss it if you sell, and kick yourself in 5 years time when you want another C900 and can't find a decent one at a reasonable price.

If all you need is offroad storage, let me know, we have plenty of that (outdoor, but safe).

Well, the local council happen to have garages for rent. Seems that the average rent is about =A35.70 a week+VAT.

Might be a little steep, but if I do it by direct debit, I won't notice=20 it.

And as long as I don't end up a million miles from nowhere, and in some=20 drug den, it should be fine.

Given that you put it aside because of the running costs and now you're talking about garaging it and insuring it ... Erm, and running it now and again ... You're talking yourself back into it. Oh yes, you are!!! :)

I really want a flat nose again, but I've promised myself a black 2 door with sand interior ... Hopefully a pre-APC T8 that I can put a huge turbo and exhaust on :)

Hmm, lets see. That's £350 a year. For that much, you can tax, insure and MOT the car, park it on the road *and* get to drive it!! And it'll be a much happier car if you take it for a nice drive every couple of weeks.

Yes, because of costs, and becuase I had to run it all the time. So jobs=20 that needed doing couldn't be done got left. Now if I was to put it=20 aside, and do the jobs as and when I can, and run it arround for an hour=20 on weekends and the odd evening, if a job doesn't get finished I can=20 drive home in the Celica, and come back and do it again later.

As I hope to do it, a tank of petrol will last months, as will an oil=20 change (3k miles insurance cover, 3K miles oil change Hmmmm), insurance=20 over a year would be minimal, could still drive over and spectate at a=20 few Saab trackdays and the like ( a 300 miles round trip would allow say=20

8 events a year, and some fun driving too). Also as it wouldn't be my=20 daily driver, I could break something tuning, and not panic about it=20 going back on the road immediatley if it needs parts/rebuild.

That would be nice.

Well, with the insurance from these guys, the garage and the insurance=20 won't be too bad, and the paint will be better protected (as will the=20 chips and the bits of rust that arrives soon after.
