I went with an RAC report in the end as there are apparently not many useful things with the free or cheap HPI checks..

AHHH!! So I'm not going mental then!! :D Well... ok, at least I didn't imagine that anyway :) Where was it then?

Hi all... Buying another car tomorrow - nothing exciting, just a eurobox daily for veggie based mile munchin - and I recently read on a forum something along the lines of '...you can actually get a free HPI check by beginning an application for...' and then my brain kicks in and rather...

Wow... It's nice that you've bought a 90 and all that, but you've moved FROM Hawaii TO England?? Is it too early to ask what's wrong with you man?

Bugger me, how much do people spend on wedding cars?! Mine didn't cost anything as a good friend helped out with his company merc! :)

Nice one - any updates to this Nathan?

Just read through from the start - very nice work there! This would be a good thread to pin :) Very excited to know how much quieter & smoother/better it might be after the rebuild - I've got one to do at some point...
