Just another thing for private buyers to be aware of. You could buy a car privately and find out that part of/the whole of the car is 'owned' as collateral for a personal loan called a 'Logbook loan'.

I've never heard of this before and it wont show up on a HPI that you run. Just a topic on it to help: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=83984

Is the Forester becoming the 4 wheeled equivalent of a Santa Cruz? Something you buy alternately with another vehicle. Any vehicle. Say ...erm... a Ford Transit and....erm.....a Smart car

Which will now you mean you have to change your bikes AND your car twice a week. At least. And you'll need a steady supply of Subaru's. In the same way as you've now personally owned two thirds of the Santa Cruz Chameleons that have ever been made

****ing love Foresters. I only sold it as it was becoming a money pit with repairs. :mrgreen:

I don't think I'd get MarkH or Iain into one again with me though 😉

He? I don't even drive and I know that.........If you're dumb enough to fall for that,you realistically probably shouldn't be allowed to drive anyway surely?

All V5s are in the course of being replaced - won't that blow a hole in any loan company's "collateral"?

Quite surprising how many people are using these loan sharks though.

Hora. Nobody wants to get in a car with you, full stop. Its because it'd invariably be quicker walking, but without the random, near-death trips the wrong way down one way streets.

Oh... lovin' the logic BTW. I got rid of something because it was a money pit. I know! I'll buy another one!!!

Flawless. What could possibly go wrong? 😉

I had it two years though. You forget the 4 wheel slide with Iain in and him screaming with me looking at him and laughing 🙂

He also forgot to mention temporary roadworks lights had jammed both ways so it was either sit there or drive down a oneway street, around a traffic island and over a kerb or sit there gridlocked...

When you die, can you donate your brain to medical science? Please? I just think..... and I don't know why.... that something.... who knows what.... will emerge that will benefit mankind.

Even if its only the discovery of why it actually is that dogs chase sticks
