The Vee is all mine!

[VII Car Care]

Happy New Year guys & gals!

As you may or may not know, I was looking for a 182 to replace the 197. I had £6,000 to spend. After much searching & endless tx's with Mossy who helped me with possible Trophy buys (cheers Mossy) I found a tidy Monaco 172 advertised on cs (about an hour after the ad went up) Cut a long story short, I bought the 172 for £2400

2004 Monaco Blue
41650 miles!
Needs some tlc but I enjoy that anyway [cmilie=iconcheers.gif]

So after much thought as to what kitchen to get I thought I may aswell use the cash to pay the final £4,000 of my Vee loan off. If we do lose our jobs, the vee is safe!

Im well happy, the Vee is all mine now! [smilie=yay.gif] [smilie=yay.gif]

Monies are now in my savings account so I don't blow it all on cleaning goodies in the mean time

Hey Dawn, glad you have decided on a Monaco they are gorgeous cars and will suit your OCD down to the ground

Glad to help regarding the Trophy search, it is a bit of a mine field looking for a decent one (I know only too well!!!), I am just glad you did your homework and didn't buy the first one you saw :approve:

And then there is the ended bonus of paying the vee off [cmilie=iconcheers.gif] [cmilie=iconcheers.gif]

Now get some photos up :race:


PS - I will be watching the progress report over on CS

Apologies if I am misinterpreting things, or perhaps don't know the full story, but if there is a risk of losing your job, surely £4000 in the bank would come in handy?
Good news on the V being paid off, but if I lost my job the first thing to go would be the unneccessary luxuries - ie the V.

Nice one Dawn :approve:

Im in a fortunate posistion of having my mortgage paid off on both houses so the vee will not need to go where as if i was still paying her off she'd have to go.

Cheers guy, im well chuffed.

Thanks Mossy, will keep you posted

you do change your daily runners often dont you. But good news on the vee being all paid off, its a good feeling to know you owe nothing on it (it did the same on mine a couple of years back).

I'll pop over and see the new one and have a coffee with you soon - the vees can be in hibernation but we can still grab a coffee right?!
