Panda (Classic) My Selecta

Panda (Classic) My Selecta

My insurance covers for third party only when I drive the selecta.

If the car is still insured by you Aston Martin add me for the day

or

If there is no insurance on the car I'll do a temp cover myself (for fully comp)

or do nothing if you want to risk it providing you still have cover on the vehicle.

(just thought I'd make it legit to keep mep (and PC Plod) happy :p)

If the heater is stuck on I'll open a window...

Sounds like we're getting somewhere :).

If you want to bring it down Friday you would need to be at my workshop before 2pm as I have an airport run to do in the afternoon. Alternatively I could book it in for an mot next week, as long as AM Still has it insured you can drive it down without tax.

John, can you get a price for the train ticket please, not 1st class and bring your own sandwiches :p
 
4.5 hr drive so to get to Vernon's before 2 means leaving at 9 to be safe (and miss morning rush), doable, despite dog needing to be walked before I set off. Yeah I know but not an early riser myself :p

I don't get to play at the workshop then with the airport run :(

Presuming I'll get a lift to the train station (I don't do buses) and can make the 14:15 or the 14:44 to book now (I presume) would be £78.50, otherwise an anytime single is £140.50. and there are 2 changes!
This reminds me why I drive and don't take trains as the journey time is 4hrs 17mins so when taken into account with a cab back home is easily slower too.

Hi John cheekylittlescamp - thanks for helping with the rescue (y)

I'm a bit confused as usual - are you now using the car to come down to Panda Camp - which sounds a really good idea by the way?

If I've got that wrong are you back to driving down to Vern's on Friday? If you are & getting the train back, let me know about the ticket & I'll sort it out with you :) Can get some money to you, but please get a receipt for the ticket if you buy it direct!

Cheers, Gavin ;)
 
I could get a free ride back home if it were taken to Vern's the last day of Panda Camp maybe?

The selecta could rest on my drive until then, this MOT wheeze works then?


Yes, you're allowed to drive to and from an mot station without tax so if you're bringing it down on the Sunday it would have to be booked in for Monday. Or I could book it in for the Friday and you could spend the whole weekend at Panda camp, I'll lend you a Panda with the Panda tent to get there from the workshop. (y)
 
Hmmm Thinking....

I think it's best to stick with the original plan, me coming down on Friday.
Palio can you arrange the ticket for me for the 2.45 train?
VmanC should be with you about 1.30 tomorrow if thats ok?

awaiting the arrival of the selecta anytime now :)

That's fine by me, will book the mot. I'll give you a lift to the train station on my way to the airport. (y)

Is the ticket still £78 at this stage?

Is it AON to YRK at 14.15 John? If so, how do I buy it for you to collect the tickets?
 
Wouldn't make Alton station for 2.15pm, needs to be 2.45 or 3.15 if there is one.

Nope that's the only one at anywhere near that price. I thought £78 was a rip-off but £140??!!! :eek:

If 2.15 is no good it may need to go back to Panda Camp plan B.

Edit 17.14 is £57 which is much more reasonable. I'm assuming this is the right route but John needs to confirm.
