Weekend plans

 

Happy Friday evening guys, looking forward to the weekend? sun

 

I'd love to hear what you have planned for Saturday/Sunday. My plan includes...

 

  1. Playing World of Warcraft in pyjamas
  2. Having a walk along the canal (only if it's sunny and nice outside though)
  3. Relax on the sofa with mobile games, delicious snacks and a nice drink
  4. Hiking 25 miles in the highlands with my cats and sleeping in a tent.

 

One of these might not happen.

 

 

What about you? slight_smile

Oh

 Would it need to be @MI5 ? The guy who restored it took it on a trailer to Classic car shows. Last we saw it was at Stoneleigh and was on a plinth as it had won best in show. I suppose he could have sold it abroad? The money he spent on it to get it to that condition, I doubt he would have left it to rot!

We saw it not long after we bought our apt in Spain and he said the Stag was worth more than that lol rofl

On a 'N'plate that car would have been on the road in 1975/76 and is exempt from road tax as it's classed as a classic car. In 1996/97  I would guess it started being restored and maybe it was a five year

project, hence it would then qualify as a classic car.

There again, it's only a theory. Maybe @Cleoriff  has some ideahaving poken to the owner.

 

Road Tax Fee Exemption
If you don't know when your vehicle was built, but it was first registered before January 8, 1979, it is exempt. Owners of 40+ year-old vehicles must still go through the taxation process each year, either at a Post Office or online, but there is no fee to pay.27 Feb 2019

Yeah, but as you say, it's only free tax so would still show as taxed if being used on the road.

We bought the Triumph Stag in 1982. It cost us £6750. It was a status symbol really as my husband worked at Triumph for years and it was his 'dream car'

After a year it became a bit of a white elephant. The head gasket went and it would have cost us a bomb to sort it out. Also, our lads were growing up and trying to get them in the back was ridiculous.

 

We sold it at a loss and then the next time we saw it was in 1986 at a classic car show. It looked bloody beautiful. Saw it once more in 1990.  This was when it was on this plinth with the bonnet open and an absolutely gleaming engine.

 

Mind you, these classic car enthusiasts spend £1000's and all their life restoring cars.

 

All those years ago now, it wouldn't surprise me if it was sold on and went to the USA...

(Unless it is still being put on a trailer to go to motor shows)

Hey guys Wave

 

I know it's really early in the week to post in this thread, but since I'm off tomorrow and Friday I thought I'd wish you all a lovely weekend a bit in advance! I'll be going somewhere in Oxfordshire for a family wedding, and if I get some nice snaps I might post them in the ongoing photography thread nerd 

 

I hope that whatever you all get up to, you'll have a wonderful rest of the week, and weekend afterwards! sunflower

Well for me @EmilieT, I can tell you right now it will be streaming and reading, with a bit of watching my recordings.

 

Have downloaded the final 2 seasons of Scandal (6 and 7) so will be streaming a bit of that in addition to Killing Eve, Riverdale and Criminal Minds.

 

Haven't been reading much lately but got back into my present book in the early hours of this morning and read 170 pages. So am back to reading with a vengeance.

 

So that's my weekend planned smiling

 

Enjoy your family wedding and lots of photos, please Bouncy
