Loving your fleet, Cowan [emoji7]

And Tim. VERY jealous. 22 years in that Elise. Practically a museum piece now!

Is the museum piece me or the car?

What a marvellous range of machinery listed above. We're all lucky people. I'm Tim with: - 2023 Toyota Corolla - entirely dull hybrid spec but actually quite decent for dull journeys - 2003 Elise 111S - still hanging on despite having me drive it since new - 1930 Riley Nine - improbably still occasi...

Is £299 with seven spaces left

£299. Robust pricing...

But thanks for checking. Cheers

Am loving the write-up and very envious of the trip. Do you know what the car in the last picture is? It's in even worse state than my Austin 7!

Hi John. Thanks for the info/warning. We really are being screwed over here.

I fear your experience with the ombudsman is to be repeated for me - they've taken nearly 6 weeks between me submitting my case and them sending a standard email to say they're investigating...

Thanks guys.

The repairers have now stopped giving us any kind of updates, so it all gets weirder.

A complaint to the insurance ombudsman has been made...not that I can imagine it will help much...

Thanks guys - a good shout re getting an independent inspection. I think that our insurers are currently paying, pending them fighting it out with the others about who was at fault. But they're already >1 year of hire car - at about £75/day according to the papers we see. So that's nearly £30k befor...

Thanks Campbell. Useful thoughts. Yes, it's all through the insurer's repairer. Definitions seem to be around whether the delay is 'reasonable'. To me it isn't. The insurer disagrees! I think I'll take it to the ombudsman. Just not sure whether I should reject the car if they say it's ready, or take...

Hi everyone – hope all well. Anyone on here got experience of car repairs (non-Lotus) taking ages?? A minicab crashed into our Corolla last March. It took the repair place till December to source the parts, but it’s still not back with us – though they’re saying they might have it finished next week...

Out with some old timer friends in Angus at the weekend.

Hi

I'm needing a replacement back box for my K-series 111S. Do you have a spare lurking in your garage/shed/loft/etc, or know of where any are available??

Happy to pay the going rate (whatever that might be...).

Cheers
Tim

Hi Mark

Good to see those pics. I'm trying to decide if I'm more envious about the car or your retirement. Either would be nice...

Let me know if you find you're not enjoying the Emira - I'd consider a swap for my old 111S

Yes - very envious. More details please!
