Btw, you can even see it's not parked like the rest of the cars, it's very far forward so I had more room to clean it...plus it was only there for an hour, and for anyone wanting proof, I can go take a dated picture of it in the garage right now if you like.
I'm not having a go i'm trying to get you out of very very big fines, that's all (And i'm talking £5000 at least)
Sorry just trying to be nice)

Lukechris no problem mate, I know you and fatreg were trying to help, I just jumped the gun and took it the wrong way, appreciate you advising me mate
You know, I completely fergot to look on ebay, will do that now
I have the car booked in for an MOT next week which I'm 99.99999% sure it will pass, never given me any problems and still running all fine, only thing wrong is a bulb has gone in the back, I will replace that during the week before the MOT.
Would be happy advertising it at around 700 and taking around 650 for it.
Still really tempted to just keep it, but it's a shame to have it stuck in the garage because it really is a comfy nice little car to drive.
people always say "Shame it's an auto or that would be quite nippy", but honestly it really is quite nippy for it's age/transmission type.
Back in March when I went away, *shss* I got around 107 out of it down the motorways, it drunk my petrol like there was no tomorrow, but it can still perform which I didn't think it would for the age.

Just a question, I know you couldn't afford to keep it, but what with the new job, isn't it worth hanging onto, for the sake of the £650 or so you'd get for it, given your earning over £1000 a month now I reckon you might find this more usefull than public transport in the months to come, especially on those cold winter morning when you realllllly don't want to get on your bike?

My mum said the same thing mate, but my argument was:
I live about 8min walk from work, and the way to drive to work is about the same length (I cut through the park, if I drive, I have to go around the park).
That's the only place I go at the moment..work, and haven't needed the car since May, so don't really need it now, I agree it would be nice to avoid wet weather but it's only a few min walk.
Also, the money being paid for tax, insurance, petrol etc...I could be putting towards the ford focus I'm saving for.
Even if I'm only saving £100's in tax, insurance and petrol, that's still hundreds closer to my new car I'll be when the time comes
Looking at a black 3 door focus, 40k on the clock, tinted black rear windows, it's around £2500-3000, so a nice price too!
Can't wait to have the money so I can start looking around more.

There's 1 on ebay here:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/P-REG-C[....]40%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
1.1 version with 98k on the clock, no tax or mot, has 4 bids and is at £255 with 2 days left, so with an MOT, better condition and 20k less I'm hoping mine would be around 700 mark.

I guess so, sorry I guess I just find it hard to able to live without my car, been driving for 2 and bit years and I really wouldn't want to be without it. Had to use the bus for a day when I had it in the garage for repairs, then remember how much I hate the bus

Lol, I've never used a public bus and haven't used a train in about 8 years, so I got no idea how to buy a ticket on tues lol.
I like to walk/jog, it's all them little journeys that add up, I made a promise to myself that when I pass I won't drive *everywhere* because I was already fat and lazy lol.
Started driving, couldn't really afford petrol, so ended up having to walk anyway lmao.
If I worked far away and had the choice of car or bus, I'd use my car without a doubt, but Halfords is the closest shop to my house and only a 10min walk so it makes sense to walk
