Cocoa's Holiday

[hungeristorture]

Cocoa has gone back to his daddy now. David came around in his big BMW, and Cocoa went absolutely mental when I opened the door. I think he must have thought he'd gone for good or something. It's the first time he's been away for this long.

All in all, though, he's been very well-behaved for a 19-month-old very large chocolate Labrador. The only

hair everywhere...really, i have a 6 week old kitten sat on me at the mo who malts as much as ted and this from something that can sleep in a shoe... :S

pets are good i must say

as for minis just how much is insurance going to be? surely more money needs to go into getting decent quality mini...insurance can't be cheap

I might go to investigate the fish situation this weekend :P

Well a Mini 998 that's not too rusty but still needing a bit of attention can be £1500 ish, although they vary hugely - it's more dependent on luck. Although I want one that I can gradually do up like a retro Cooper. Parts are dirt cheap after all.

As for the insurance, I thought it would be a lot. But I checked with Admiral and it's about £900. That said, I know someone younger who has one on classic car insurance for £250 (!), but I don't know what the terms of that are.

£900 isn't bad,

but then again that depends on the car and the company so...

whatever you do with the car, just remember i still have to get in it :P

I don't envisage living any further than about 5 miles from work - not within the next couple of years, anyway, so I wouldn't be doing that many miles... would I? I've been finding it hard to guess on the forms.

Hm yes, getting you in it may be a problem. Although you'd probably fit into an old Mini better than a new one.
