Sweepstake.

Just had the motor engineer on the 'phone, re: the extent of the
Blackbird's poorliness.

Let's have your guesses.

Thrown down the road at 40mph, damage to lhs only, afaik.

 

?2364.75

 

2.5kish?

 

uneconomical to repair. Guess: £1750.

 

Assuming main dealer rates & genuine parts - 4,200.

If it's 60% or over book value, they'll write it off. Doesn't leave a lot
of leeway if you're buying new plastic from Honda.

 

Not main dealer: approved repairer.

 

£2.1k

 

Well, it's not coming home, that's for sure.

 

It will be replaced. Wivvanonda.

 

OK - 3,785 then.

Note: no rubbish from a jumped up musical instrument maker involved.

 

4 euro coins, 27p, two wrapped and one unwrapped werthers original,
and some pocket fluff.

 

tbh, I can't see anyone beating that.

£3,818.54

 

I'd love to own another yamaha, but they don't make anything I like.

 

<falls off chair>

 

Yay! What do I win?
