Hope things work out for you, chief. My second car as a teen was a used 63 Triumph (about 4 years old I think). I loved it. Never had a new car. Drove a new truck one time but it was for someone else. I ordered a new truck once, but I backed out on the deal. Nice company worked with me and gave me my down payment back. I had diabetes at that time but overcame it through good diet.
I’ve been on the same race track. But I got a speeding fine on it for doing 78mph. The race track is restricted to 70mph and as Warks police can’t catch any criminals they concentrate on motorists.
Well it’s 17years old, road tax is £720 a year, new car is £260. Does 24 mile per gallon, new car does 64 mpg. Insurance group is 33E, new car is 21E (what ever thats means) big savings for me.
