Thanks for that, Tony. Your phrase "money grabbing main dealer" is spot-on in my recent experience, when a service cost me more than the banger is worth!

Re: New member in West Yorkshire
Okay, here goes with the little questions, in no particular order: 1. Where do you go for a service, when the time comes? What do members advise? 2. About the hood: is the rear window plastic, or glass? 3. What do members do in the way of security, when leaving the vehicle parked? Any hints welcome....

Re: New member in West Yorkshire
Thanks for making that point, which is something I hadn't realised.
Once I have sat in a car, many of my questions will be answered. The questions that remain seem to me to be too silly or trivial to ask on this forum, among experts and veterans... .

Re: New member in West Yorkshire
Thank you very much Matt, for your helpful offer. At present, with Covid-19 restrictions, and unreliable weather, it isn't a good time to undertake such an outing, but I'd like to accept your offer. Perhaps I could venture across the Pennines in a few weeks' time, at a date to suit you, of course? G...

Re: New member in West Yorkshire
Paul: Vielen Danke fur Ihren Brief! And that's all of my terrible German that I'll inflict on you today. You kind note epitomises the problem that all we Brits experience when we put in time to learn a little German; you are so good at English that you make our efforts seem pointless. Concerning you...

Re: New member in West Yorkshire
Thanks for the advice about the steering wheel. Post-Covid-19, I'll seek out an owner to let me sit in one. Good idea. Though, long ago, I did an engineering apprenticeship, my intention is to buy a completed car, because: (a) my wife is sceptical about it ever being completed, and (b) I wish to spe...

Re: New member in West Yorkshire
Thank you for the friendly greeting, much appreciated. I'm on the cusp of ordering a vehicle. I'm mobile, active not overweight, and can get around without using a walking stick. However, I will be 80 years old in a month's time. Could you tell me whether climbing in and out of a Triking presents an...
