^^ how much??

I'm not concerned about the overdraft guys, we pay off at least £50 a month and as I said we're not paying interest currently - we have 0% for another year or so, so realistically it makes no difference paying now or over the next few months. The house I'm not worried about, I can repair it myself but I'm lazy and the dog is still young, I'll probably wait until he's older before I fix too much. Would be so much less hassle getting s builder in though

I think I've made up my mind what I'm doing anyway

got an insurance quote on my Golf, it's under £400 so I'm going to get her back on the road. I could do with going back to driving a 1.6 anyway, fuel economy on the Accord isn't great around town.

After the Golf is on the road I'll get the Prelude sorted, it's insured so all I need is MOT and tax then I'll have enough roadworthy cars to keep me happy without needing another. Hopefully

Also will mean I can free up some driveway and get my 6th Gen Accord up from my parents' house

Depending on what is left over, and if I see a suitably cheap VR6, then I think my summer will be sorted

I don't get it

You have a Golf, you have a Prelude.
You're a member of a Prelude club.
The Golf is uninsured but you want more from it. The Prelude is insured but needs a touch of work, MOT and tax.
You're going for the Golf first.
You'll eventually be unhappy with what you're getting from the Golf and will spend more money on it.

u wot m8

Bin the Golf if you ask me. You're going to drive it for economy reasons, then put a bigger lump in it. That's more time and money and you will lose that economy. That pretty much makes it a waste of time because you'll be back at square one (need something more economical) with at the end of the day... a Mk2 Golf.

This whole time your Prelude will still be sitting there. Your Accord(s) will still be sitting there. Crying. Dying.

It's an 'if' on the VR6 lump mate

I love my Golf and I can quite happily drive it as is. It's currently the most fuel efficient car I have available, and all it needs is insurance and tax. I can afford to run the Accord as my daily, but if I can save £15 or so a week by using the Golf, why not? However, I've always fancied something with a V6 lump - if a cheap VR6 mk3 was easily available to me then I definitely wouldn't pass the opportunity to snap it up to use as a donor. I know you guys probably don't get the whole Golf thing, but it's a car I really love and I have no plans to get rid anytime soon!

As for the Prelude, it's going to get sorted as soon as it warms up a bit and I can be bothered to do the required work. She's not lost yet

and once repaired the Prelude won't sit idle, it's my girlfriend's favourite so will be her run around. I get a request every other day to get the Prelude sorted

I think my spleen is crying

Prelude, girlfriend and run around in the same sentence

Fair play whatever you do

just trying to tempt you.

She loves the Prelude mate, and why wouldn't she? It's a nice car

but even if I were to drive it, my daily commute is about 1.5-2 miles each way... Surely that's runaround territory?

I drove my lude across the drive this eve to get the seats out my Golf - that was temptation enough

don't get me wrong, I love my Prelude, but I have other cars I love too, so there's no urgency to sort it
