Should I, or should I not?

Thanks Craig. I go to Mens' Shed each Wednesday morning to work and chat with other retirees and on Thursday night to mentor the young blokes and show them how to use the tools. I've had to stop a few of them either damaging tools or themselves.

I've joined a local camera club late last year in order to get help with improving my pix — and somehow got made Treasurer. :o

The P38A wasn't driven from the beginning of October until February and hasn't been driven in the past month.

I didn't say it was that good! :D

Funny you should say that. A new member of the camera club has just sold all his gear to buy a camera. He has damaged his shoulder (I don't have details) from archery and was advised to give it up.

I'm about to have surgery to repair a full thickness tear in a tendon. That'll mean 6 weeks with my right arm in a sling. I had the left done 2 years ago after riding a ladder to the ground. However, it will be after our trip to Ularu and an obligatory red wine or three with Numpty in a few weeks time.

No cardiac problems, Kevin. Just not using the car. It's just an expense at the moment. We go everywhere in Elisabeth's Forester Turbo (there's no way she'd swap that for a Land Rover product - although she did say she'd drive a 90).

RON......

It's about time you got into your Range Rover and came around for a cuppa.

Erich is in Rockhampton till the 13th, but you are always welcome to come out...... and check out our new driveway (leave your donation at the gate:D)

Don't get down in the dumps, you've got so many mates on this Forum - and other Forums as well I am sure.

The kettle is always on the boil for you and Elisabeth whenever you want.

Best regards as always,
Sheila

Perhaps the question is not should you sell it, but rather, what would make you happier? Keeping it and only using it sometimes? Or selling it, knowing someone else will use it, keep the cash for your next bright idea? I'd like to think once I retire, I'll be doing whatever makes me happy - even if it's not the obvious decision for everyone else! :)

Ron, thank you for the reply.
I sort of guessed what it would be.
While you are waiting it is important to retain a sense of humour.

I have and I have always been very very curious about stuff so it is amazing how time flies.

Cheers.

Robert.

PS: Sell the Rover.

I just had a look at the fuelling records and can see I've only done 5,000km in the past 12 months. Apart from one trip to bike racing at Wakefield Park, it's all been local.

I feel guilty owning a vehicle I don't use, hence the reason I sold the XJR1300

Sweet ride. :)

I appreciate where you're coming from Ron. Although different, I'll leave you with my situation.... Make of it what you like.

I live inner city and get about via push bike, walking and public transport. I own 1 vehicle, my Disco which gets used for weekend trips and holidays and some small use around the city. I'm averaging about 6,000kms/year. I wouldn't dream of selling it! I could drive around the city more, but that seems like a waste, so when I do drive on a weekend etc, it's all the more sweet. :)

All the best deciding...

I've often had sad-eyed older men look at my SIIA and say those immortal words, "I used to have one of these, but . . . ", and so, every time I get sick of it, I remember those poor sods and how I woudn't want to end up like them. Or not yet, anyway. I haven't driven it for a year, so it will need a bit of work again, but so far I've had it for 22 stubborn years!
