I have been into cars, more importantly rallying for as long as I can remember, but my car has sat in the garage unused now for 3 years, since the kids have been born I have no time for it, nor the love or want to work on it.

Ive put alot of thought into it over the last few months, and the outcome is always the same, no interest.

If I sell it, would i miss it? i dont think so, its been sat there unused for years. Can i see myself wanting to finish it and use it? not really, I would rather be out with the wife and kids.

I think its a done deal.

your thoughts?

mark i think we all go through phases ,its quite natural when kids come along as time just seems flyby.i was out of the scene for many years and am now deeper back into it than i ever was first time around

cant answer that question as im searching for the answer myself. although it doesnt cost me anything to keep i get the feeling that its pointless owning it. maybe its the fact the amount of cash the car has had spent on it thats stopping me selling.

Hmm, yes i know ive been there before, but right now if someone came and offered me a good price, it would be sold, im pretty sure of that.

If you sell it you will regret not finishing it, if you can afford to just leave it where it is and pick it up when you “feel” like working on it.

My problem is i have too many projects on the go, i have 3 cars and around 10 motorbikes, and renovating a house

I just don’t have the time to devote to them, but i have them and they are all paid for and i will get them done one day.

Dont sell it Mark if you dont need to

I just cant help but thinking i dont really need it anymore, maybe times have changed for me.
Im thinking my life just doesnt have space for projects, I dont even want to make time anymore for it.

Im enjoying renovating my house more than anything ive done with this car.

im seriously thinking of something like a group N Mitsubishi Evo or something like.

Same with me Mark i love working on my house but i can see that in a few years time when i am finished i will need something to do.

The mechanic from next door pops in to work to borrow stuff off me and he says you got your cossy done yet.

He cannot understand why i don’t work on it and i have to think back 10+ years ago i would have been different and when i came across customers with cars and bikes stored away i thought they were nuts and no way would i have a car/bike like that and not use it.

But other things take priority in your life, but u will get back to it one day.

There just aint enough time for kids, work, cars and classic rock!

I have had to give up the headbanging thrash metal mania, sold my amp but just can't let go of my (6) favourite guitars!

Don't really get time for the cars either so really know how you feel, anyroad, you can always buy another car to twat about with if you feel the urge.

Good luck with the sale.

Just sell it matey.

One day i might get sick of my own car but the way i look at it is that its my hobbu.I dont smoke and i dont drink,even though sometimes i think it might be cheaper to smoke and drink.

I think I'd hang on to it if you can afford to. If you get the love back, you've then gotta start all over again!

But, as you mentioned, you could sell it and buy a complete, running car of some kind. If you bought an Evo, perhaps you could then just use it, do a few rallies and enjoy it, rather than having to wait for the Escort to be done.

Alternatively, again, if you can budget for it, what about shelving the Escort for a bit, and buying something cheap (a 205 or similar), and doing a couple of events. Getting out on the stages again might bring the love back and motivate you to get stuck into the Escort.

Think very carefully on selling it. I've sold projects before and later come to regret it, and ended up buying basically all the same stuff again!

SELL then.


Can always hire a Rally car if you wanna thrill one weekend.


Move on. Cant see ANY reason at all to keep it.
