A friend of mine want's to do this, he's had this idea in his head for years but just recently has sat me down and said "We are doing this"
He wants to buy a car between us (old banger) for 200-500 quid and then travel 2000 miles and on the way back to Crewe pop in the FCS at Castle Combe, sounds like a great idea! Unfortunately I have a few problems.
1. Cambelt/5 year service is being done on the 3rd June and is gonna set me back 699 quid.
2. The car itself is gonna cost 500 buff to get a half decent runner (might just get that back selling it) not to mention petty, food and camping costs.
3. I've been told by the better half that it's a silly idea and that she wants to go on holiday this year which I've already promised to go on.
So first thing is, what would you do? And secondly don't suppose any one knows of a Renault sport going for sub £600? That has MOT and Tax for a few months and will get me through 2000 miles of hard slugging? Wishful thinking I know :blowup:
