The trick is to become penniless on the day you die, I wish I knew
how to do it. Easy DIY solution: carry all you own with you in cash; and wander about a bit at night around here or in Brixton, Toxteth etc etc. I assure you the option to die and be penniless will present itself to you before long, albeit you *may* have to help a little by not handing the money over when asked. -- Robin reply to address is (meant to be) valid |

The answer is probably "she's not worth it, no matter how nice her tits" On the other hand, she might be. It's not tits and it's not a will. It a worthless 16 year old car. My late Grandad offered it to the family when he packed in driving about 5 years ago. No one wanted it so I took it as my girlfriend had not got a car. When he gave me the keys he asked me to offer it to the family if I wanted to get rid of it and also said that I could not just sell it. Now I was considering buying a newer car and it turns out one of my Grandads Great Grandkids wants the old one. I want to give the car to him with good grace and the stipulation that he must offer it to the family when he gets rid of the car and he cannot just sell it. Now my Mum, my girlfriend and my brother want me to ask for money for the car as I have recently paid for repairs. It was a pair of shock absorbers at £150 (and brings the total I have spent on repairs in 5 years to about £230) As the grand kid has now tried to get an insurance quote for the car it is no longer a problem as he cannot afford to insure it:-) -- Adam * Sometimes I like to lay in my neighbours garden and pretend to be a carrot * |

I can see it's nothing to the GF, but I would say Mum's views should be considered, and so should brother's if the great-grand kid is his (less so if it's another branch of the family). I think it comes down to what do a) you; b) the family think Granddad meant when he said "you can't just sell it"? Did he mean "give the family first refusal to buy it", or did he mean "hand it over for free" when the time comes? There's no obviously "right" answer to this. It all comes down to the personalities involved. |

Now my Mum, my girlfriend and my brother want me to ask for money for the car as I have recently paid for repairs. It was a pair of shock absorbers at �150 (and brings the total I have spent on repairs in 5 years to about �230) That is just cost of ownership, 230/5 = £46pa cost me more than twice that just to park outside my front door[1]. Whether you paid that just recently or five years ago is irrelevant (well, you could remove them and put the old ones back I suppose) As the grand kid has now tried to get an insurance quote for the car it is no longer a problem as he cannot afford to insure it:-) The real costs of ownership. Which makes it a true white elephant. [1] residents' parking permit £89, didn't notice 'bay suspended' sign when I put the rubbish out Monday night, so add £65 for PCN -- djc |

It's only done 60K. BTW my Dad (it was his Dad's car) argreed with me. It should be given away for free with good grace and I should follow Grandad's intentions even if the instuctions were not that clear.
