I hope so. Started having a bit of a look around but will start looking proper when I get notice from DVLA of my ban being revoked. Will also start getting insurance quotes then, and see what I can get.

Probs in to get lowered. It'll look good then style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Really? Great Western Road? Whereabouts? It was Scottish Motor Services in Woodlands road who sold it for me.

Well, almost halfway into my ban the Lupo is sold. If the new owner reads this (I'm sure you will know who you are) I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Gonna miss it a lot. Once I get my license back I'll see what I can insure, but it'll be small, and hopefully fast style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> and gonna have a wicked and highly illegal tint.

That's harsh!!! B***ards!!! You got my sympathy mate...

I could be tempted by one when I get my license back style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

That is exactly what I'm thinking. It'll break my heart to see it on the drive everyday, rarely driven, certainly never the way it should be. Rather let someone else enjoy it and get something else when I get my license back.

That's the conclusion I'm reaching...

No, I believe NCBs lapse if you dont have insurance for a year... Sorry wrong on phone to DL as I write and they say three years, which helps. Anyway, got a year and a 5 ton fine. The PF was doing his best to get me into extra trouble though, the smarmy little c**t. Trying to put me up as a lier, which was ironic as I watched the cops lie through their teeth on the stand. Gutted, but not surprised.

See this is the problem. Will lose my current job as I work as a driver. I've got something else lined up but it pays a lot less. I'm a bit concerned about having the car sitting doing nothing for a year, depreciating, when I could put the money to other uses. Part of the problem is that when I get the license back, the insurance premiums will be very high, as insurance companies tend to frown on DUI. I'll lose my no claims (worth 60% or so) and I suspect the premium will be loaded enough it may not be realistic to insure for a couple more years. BTW I've no idea how I failed a breath test (previous threads on this) and I can be sure I wasn't over. I'll see how it goes today.

Well guys the day is upon me. Tomorrow I'm on trial and I'm likely to get a 1 year ban. So what do I do with the lupo? Keep it and hope I can insure it when I get my license back, or sell it (in slightly tatty condition) for a bit less than it is worth? Any good ideas? Kennygti (soon to be Kennypaws)

90? That's not too bad. Either replace mine at some point or do some filling work to flush the number plate cavity.

Hey boys and girls don't ask why (and don't be a telltale Mr Scally style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> ) but I need to know how much a new rear bumper is. Any ideas. KennyGti

That's ok then. Getting stopped by the polis is bad bad news.

Got Stopped? You mean by the scum?
