Maybe it's just me, but I do not understand peeps who feel the need to have more than 2 cars, when it means that at least 2 of those cars won't get used - at one point I had my works van, my 3i, and my S1 - and I only ever drove the works van!!! Why? Cos it was FAR easier to jump in the company paid for derv van and nip up the shops or over to the pub or mates house etc, and it not cost me anything, then get the S1 out, which means unlocking the garage, getting it out, locking it all up again, sitting there while it warmed up, then taking it out, worrying about where it's parked etc etc, then doing it all again when I get home to lock it up again....

And then I sat down and thought - fuck, I'm spending nearly £2k on insurance on 2 cars I don't use? Plus MoT's, plus Tax, plus plus plus...

So I sold the 3i and thought, great : daily driver, and a fun "weekend" car - but even that wasn't worth paying the over-exuberant insuance fee's for!

If I was to not have a works van, I might buy something like a S1 again - but it would be a daily driver, rain sun or snow.... As I don't see much of a point ot having a car that isn't used unless it is like your cos that you are rebuilding.... But then once the cos was built, I would be selling off the other cars and just having one anyway )tho with these old ford shitheaps, it's always worth having a £150 runabout for when they break down )
I see your point mate.the cossie cant be used everyday when its done cause they get dirty so quick and break quicker.the rs2k rep is one for tucking away and its just too much hassle.ive been doing some thinking today and as much as i love the drift slag when the cossies ready i will cancel the insurance on it and insure the cossie.over the past 6 months ive been buying cheap cars and they wernt even what id call shitters then getting board of them and selling em on,then just thought fuck it get something you wont get board off,so got the s13,im not board off it far from it,but with anycar i own it could always do with this or that doing and when do u stop?thinking of what you said in the first place now and selling the s13 and using the money for the cos.need a rwd shitter for £150
