Too many toys!!

I have recently had to have a sort out of what vehicles I have, what I wanted to keep and what i wanted to get rid of. I kept forgetting when MOT's insurances etc were up for renewal and ended up setting up a spreadsheet!! It was then I realised I needed to get rid of some of them, so currently I have

05 Mustang
04 Mini convertable
00 Land Rover
02 Merceds Sprinter van
04 Campion 645 Speedboat

I have over the last couple of weeks sold my

89 - Frontera
00 - Transit
04 - Scooter

Next on the list to go are the Mini and the speedboat and it got me thinking, I can't be the only one on here that suffers from the " I'm just going to go and have a look " syndrome?

At the most obscene point I had the use/owned six cars and it was very cathartic selling a few of the buggers off. Will be having a spring clean again soon. Can't wait. Bladey cars quicker than he collects bulk discounts from his local perapatetic restaurant

Will anything be replacing the sold toys Fil or are you just having a clear out?

i know robin ( ben and stu know who i mean ) has a traders policy but i think it has a massive excess?

Traders policies have significant downfalls, namely that you only get the trade value for replacement in the event of an accident ( true trade on the sorts of cars we drive cannot be good) and that the excess can be hideous.......that and you try and find a decent policy that will cover someone who doesn't have a legitimate reason for having one. Who many of us are legitimately in the car trade?
