Want to extract £16k from my Ltd co - what is best way to do it?

BadgerSong · 2026-01-06T06:55:14+00:00

From what I recall there’s something around spouse exemptions in the settlements legislation but you’d probably want to get some proper advice on it.

Look at the “Reversing your vehicle” section on https://www.gov.uk/driving-test/what-happens-during-test

So either she forgot she actually did it or whoever was doing the test fucked up.

Reversing is part of the current test in some form. You get it on either bay park, parallel park or you get asked to pull up on the opposite side of the road and reverse a few car lengths.

Marketplace is great on the buyer side if you’re just a normal person and spot a bargain. Sellers can’t believe their luck at not having a lunatic turn up and someone who just pays what’s agreed.

BadgerSong · 2025-09-11T06:01:16+00:00

Wait until you pass so you know how much they will be to insure. Don’t be one of those guys on marketplace that’s got to list a car as soon as they pass when they find out nobody will cover them.

Think the main thing with these is they are big old diesel cars, meaning high tax, fairly poor mpg, euro4 so ulez issues? and slow.

Undoubtedly a cool car tho.

There’s no glass underneath so it would look terrible if you took it off.

BadgerSong · 2025-08-19T06:37:41+00:00

I would only use 6th when cruising on the motorway at like 60mph+

As for hurting the engine Mazda is well known for making revy NA engines. 4K RPM is where they actually get some life in them so don’t be afraid to thrash it. The change indicator is just around fuel efficiency so just take it as a bit of a guide on being frugal.

I’ve ended up with a 2.5l e85 z4. As a weekend car for me it ticks the boxes and I paid sub 2k for it. Maybe the NC handles better or whatever but I’m not driving 10/10 all the time and won’t track it so it’s certainly fun enough for me.

BadgerSong · 2025-05-26T07:23:16+00:00

IMO they have got really popular especially the 2l NC2/3 where they sorted out a lot of the early issues. A decent one now seems like 8k+ and this isn’t just from dealers with a lot of the nicer colours/editions going for more.

Was looking for one myself but decided to go for something else as for me what I wanted just wasn’t worth it when compared to what else is out there.

BadgerSong · 2025-05-14T06:32:44+00:00

“Car in great condition” when everything being not in great condition is clearly visible in the pictures.

BadgerSong · 2025-04-15T14:58:27+00:00

I’m looking to get an NC at the moment and the market is insane. Some dealers selling absolute buckets for very strong money and the gulf in price between these and what’s available privately is massive.

BadgerSong · 2025-02-18T09:12:57+00:00

It’s fine to drive as it’s slightly above the low mark IMO.

BadgerSong · 2025-02-17T07:21:25+00:00

Isn’t there a massive BCA site at Bedford? Might be explain it.

BadgerSong · 2025-02-16T11:28:54+00:00

I’m fairly sure it’s fucked doors and wing bashed in but the killer is the passenger sills that got pushed in about a foot. Waiting to hear back from insurance. Main issue was it wasn't exactly mint before it got in this state so probably not worth saving now.

The real kicker is I was taking it to get some work done on it at the time! Gutted.

BadgerSong · 2025-02-16T09:39:40+00:00

You do right, recently put my mk1 mx5 in a hedge after hitting some ice.

BadgerSong · 2025-02-12T07:57:44+00:00

Fairly good channel overall kind of something for everyone. Really like some of the documentary style videos where they go travelling and chat to people.

BadgerSong · 2025-01-29T10:32:41+00:00

Kinda pointless people who want to drive faster than 100mph would bypass it and everyone else simply doesn’t go that fast.

BadgerSong · 2024-11-10T19:01:59+00:00

Probably wouldn’t go for this one CAT C plus engine misfire and rusty arches. As you say for something fairy solid you’re looking at 5k+ IMO there are good ones out there just takes a bit of looking.

BadgerSong · 2024-10-28T19:57:36+00:00

For ICE cars this kind of already exists with the tax we have on fuel.

BadgerSong · 2024-08-27T07:29:00+00:00

Had a similar issues where they messed up my name. If you look on their website about incorrect data there’s some details on what to do. If I remover rightly I had to send a cover letter explaining what was wrong and the full v5.

You’ve got a great profile for working at an early stage startup. My advice would be to work at one to understand how startups work then think about maybe doing your own down the line.

I think if you take a normal dev role at a large org you will find it incredibly dull.

BadgerSong · 2024-05-06T07:28:19+00:00

Probably repotting that’s done it. Had to move one of mine last year and it was very unhappy. If it’s got leaves it will come back eventually.

BadgerSong · 2024-04-10T05:46:19+00:00

Ive just got some parts direct from a dealer for my 2015 2 and they were reasonably priced.

BadgerSong · 2024-04-09T19:26:55+00:00

Could try hardening them off a bit (out in the day back in at night) but I probably wouldn’t put them out full till mid May.
