3.5 V6, how many mpg is that, about 10 ???

Watching Henry Cole doing it a couple of times it seems like a fairly nice way to spend a few weeks, meeting people, seeing 'stuff' and cruising along. I think it could be OK. There's lots of weird culture and people to see on the Route it seems. Personally, i'd rather do it on a pushbike over a cou...

@Beancounter updates updates.

We've all been waiting for some sun and this week we've sure had it. It was BBQ and beers in the garden yesterday for us along with shorts weather. Fri. WFH and then driving to north Wales. Only a few miles in the border, but still Wales. Set up camp, bikes, BBQ beer and catching up with racers and ...

Deffo great roads there, even in the van. But I expect on a bike they'd be ace.

B4391 seems to be the road by Revs then onto a494 to Ffestiniog

He's been a lucky lad with bike purchases for sure, he's owned since epics and deserved each and every one.

Awesome present and an excellent daughter

Would be good to come and have a look - but we might be trying out the roads!

The road past us from Oswestry and onto Bala is awesome

Do you have a rate card?

Only if inflation gets to 9%

I agree with most of those things, but you can affect whether you pay next months mortgage. That wasn't what I said, I said I can't affect inflation rates. I can deal with it in a way to pay my mortgage though if it goes up yes. But still, I won't stress about it. I'll just resolve it either by get...

I don't stress about things I can't affect. The inflation rate, council tax, global warming, the war in Ukraine, etc etc. I ignore them completely.
I've got enough in the world without thinking about things I can't influence

Depends on your personality, I've never been anything other than relaxed about it

You're more than welcome to come and share a beer and sleep in a field with us

Count Steer wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2024 2:24 pm Lopping a chunk off the mortgage makes much sense. (To me anyway).

Yeah i hear you. That'll depend on the house move stuff as it could be we dramatically reduce it on the move anyway. But that's all very much an unknown quantity until we find a house we want and get a price for ours.

I wasn't thinking of taking it out to 'invest' as such. The 55 @25% will go towards finishing mortgage and potentially going racing. That'll also involve a house move and lower value but bigger house... So assuming there's some money left from it, it'll be more a case of where it'll go to maintain v...

I use a crowd called Wealth at Work, the setup fees weren't cheap but they've paid it back many times over. For me they've definitely been worth it.

And how did you find them and decide they were a good option ?
