What are you all up to

Just googled it and Chew Valley fruit farm, Bonhill Lane, BS still has a listing as a no facilities CL - no more details though.

Try  that  for  size  then !

You obviously know the right people, Ian. My Shogun is booked in with the Mitsubishi service department for 23rd and 24th of this month and I'm anticipating a bill of £2400 worst case scenario.

Is that an economical repair, how much is the car worth in good working order?

What are you doing during your holidays Malcolm?

It's worth £6000 in part exchange against a new one but a new Shogun costs £36,000. So it's cheaper to get this repaired. I'd rather pay £2400 than £30,000! I'll only be using it for towing the caravan now. The Smart car can do all the delivery work, shopping, days out etc.

I've done mostly shopping and caravan chores plus some days out visiting WWT and Highdown Gardens. Now only 4 days holiday left. It will be back to normal on Wednesday doing deliveries.

From now onwards, I'll only be using the Shogun when I need to move the caravan. The Smart car will do all the delivery work, shopping, days out etc. It's not worth buying a new Shogun if it's only going to be used occasionally as a tow car. So I'm anticipating substantial reduction of costs for the future.

The problem with being on holiday is that it's all spending and no earning! However, on a sunny day it's nice to fall asleep in the relaxer in the awning without the phone disturbing you with a delivery call out!

Hope all goes well with your new car, KjellNN. I know what you mean about advancing age. I get depressed too about getting older but what can one do to stop the relentless passage of time?
