    Main plan - keep my car alive (more than likely it will also be a plan for 2015 and 2016).
    Check.

    More bodywork
    Replace during the summer with something better.

    Ok, so the replacement was delayed until Autumn but the Panda is better than the A-Class for sure! :cool:

    I don't plan to spend much on the focus for the first half of the year as it running very well at the moment and there is no faults with it.
    -full service oil + air filter + oil filter this will probably be done February depending when it falls due.
    -if I still have it summer time I'll spend a couple of bob on it. I'll bring it too the mechanic and get a full look over it will probably need some suspension parts track rods etc but most were replaced when I first got it.
    -again if it's still here during I will do a few cosmetic mods/ upgrades as upto now it's really only been getting mechanical work done although that has to be done first anyway.

    Thank god that piece of sh!t is gone :) it's a car I had no regrets with selling although I was completly straight with the new owner about its issues and he had a ford mechanic check it out. I lost so much on it but am still happy out with its replacement.

    I have enough car changing done for awhile. Have 2 NCT's and a DOE this year (please be nice to my wallet ) I understand that discs are now issued for the DOE.. Great, now i can't "prolong" it 


    Yeah.... that didn't pan out how I thought it would. 206 gone, focus bought. Dunno why I was raving about the jeep, that's not even mine :confused:

    Don't know what will happen this year if I'm honest. The fact that so many of us were wrong goes to show how unpredictable things are, and how they can change so much in a year!

    My plans.....

    '05 Almera. Service next week and again in August. I service it every 15k km or 6 months, which ever is first. The yoke is boringly reliable and the only non service item replaced in '13 was a brake caliper. Other plans include to take it to 270k to 280k km without major jobs. I'll probably hit this by years end.

    '77 Escort. Rebolster front seats as its sagging slightly. Replace centre console as there is a tiny hole (1 to 2 mm) with a NOS item. Service in March and September, with a full fluid change, new coil, rotor arm, dizzy cap and exhaust gas analysis. Ideally replace the windscreen with a NOS green tint one (ultra hens teeth item!) and NOS exhaust or exact copy in stainless steel.

    '97 Endurance Rally and Multi venue autotest Starlet. KILL IT IN COMPETITION!!!! Yes I plan to use it until it dies in a blaze of glory, or more likely a broken gearbox or blown engine.

    Oh what a year. Almera and starlet are gone and the Escort I just drove (and serviced). Roll on 2015
