only thing we have ever borrowed for is the mortgage.

We have used interest free credit but the money sits in a high interest savings account and Mrs V walks down and pays for it the day its due. She would have a fit if we borrowed anything and I'm too tight.

Cars, Holidays furniture etc paid for up front, if we can't afford it we don't have it.

When I saw your post in the thread heading on the main grid I thought oh she's going to rip me a new one.

A very big apology for thinking that, you're a good old stick really

Nah, I'm not. I owe you one [a ripping]!

[MaryPoppins]

Actually yes. £50 notes from the current account.

I didn't say I was a poor permie

Oh, sure.

[vetran]

Paid for in cash, I assume.

Cheapskates. I've done £1600 on a clutch and flywheel, new brakes all round, service and MOT. Got the cambelt coming up soon. And I only get about 25mpg.

Perhaps I should look for a cheaper car...

Me too! Last month. Trying to sell car as we speak.

ye Gods I thought this was a contractor forum.

I the sad permie seem to have the newest car here.

I'm attached to my 16 year old 4x4 ...passed it's MOT this year with 260k on the clock only needing the number plate bulbs replacing

But Lada Rivas aren't worth a wank!

I sold my beloved Fiat Croma to a pair of lads for £70.

They drove it around like lunatics then set it on fire when the radiator went.

At which point the police phoned up.

Same pair of scumbags later broke into my garage to steal a petrol can of petrol, nicked my neighbour's boat & made off down the canal to where their scooter was out of petrol.

Being twostroke, I hope the fecker seized up on them.

Well if you will live in Wales

[suityou01]

actually it wouldn't be scrapped.. I'd put it in a wooden boat and cast adrift while shooting flaming arrows into the boat with evocative music playing in the background - a send off worthy of an old warrior
