Ho hum ... it looks suspiciously like I might be leaning to the decision of selling my pride and joy .... the Discovery.

Trouble is ... I have no idea how to value him :( I have owned him for 7 years.

So...er....two things - one is a poll, and the other is....

How much should I part with him for?

I've voted for the (nearly) unanimous NO.

Piglet is an icon, and should remain with you.

IF you really have to sell, then you need to be careful who you sell too. Ideally it would be another Mud-Clubber who could keep up the traditions - if not I think they have some rules about national treasures being sold to foreigners...... Be carefull!

If you don't watch out there will soon be a leaflet campaign for you to keep piglet, then we'll have posters, stickers, t-shirts - the list is endless, please put a stop to this madness now by PROMISSING NOT TO SELL!

Flog it !  All those Piglet tears of rejection are gonna make him rusty ;-) There's no point in keeping him if he's not going to be used for the purpose for which he was created. You know it makes sense to send him to a new home where his springs will bounce again, air will flow through his snorkel and he'll feel very satisfied that he's once again, top dog and not playing understudy to a big brother.

Damn, forgot to vote.......WHAT only 17% vote to sell ?  Are you all mad ?

I'll stick me neck out and state....standard motor £3500K plus all the add ons must have cost £3500 + ......therefore current value £4500-£5000 and you'll sell it.  Ask Paul how much he paid for his motor with £10k's worth of receipts, he might be better to advise.

I've only just realised this is the MUD club, I joined thinking it was the MAD club.

But there is still not enough insanity I my veins to see suggestion of the PIG being LET go.

I'm not insane, I've just got a BIG heart and I know piglets feeling very rejected. If Thasher had to ask the question then he already knew the answer ;-)

 It's only money Neil :-) Work out the depreciation on OWL in 3 years time and £5k will seem like a snip.

The trouble is Neil, you never get back the amount you spend :(  Stuff like "new engine" are good plus points, but...

If it was up for £5K ... I'd be interested ... and then probably divorced :shock:
