I noticed this thread and thought it sounded interesting. I've downloaded MyGarage but not yet used it.

Anyone else here use it? What are your experiences of it? Worthwhile or just something for people with too much time on their hands

Many years ago I wrote a similar programme in BBC Basic (haven't computers changed!). I spent far more time writing it and de-bugging it than I ever did using it. The output in costs etc. was interesting and often somewhat frightening, but the dedication in keeping it up to date soon disappeared. I found a notebook with necessary servicing data kept in the glove box was much less time-consuming.

Had a brief play about, I like it!

Need to add a lot more detail yet but I think this will be an increasingly useful tool.

"My Garage" or "Oulook for cars" is a software application for keeping a track on your cars activities.

Never miss an mot again.
Never exceed your limited mileage insurance policy.
Never forget the next oil change.
Never search the paper file again to see where you bought the last battery.

I may have sold my Dolomite, but I have still been working on the "MyGarage" software.

For those that don't know, "MyGarage" is a software application you run on your computer for keeping the histroy of your car, including warnings about forthcoming mot's etc. - A bit like Microsoft Outlook... but for cars !

The latest version has just been released, and includes major changes to the picture / galleries, and an export / import feature so you can pass on the history to the next owner. Selling the Dolly bumped that one right up the development list !

For your free download, please visit http://www.mygarage.org.uk

Loads of improved features, and now the ability to keep a log of previous owners.
