Yes but you forget, they are my hobby. I dont buy all these cars simply to drive, driving really bores me these days.
What i get a buzz from is working on a car, fixing it and seeing the fruits of your labour.
I dont like to spend more than a few grand usually, as any more than that then you become dissilusioned. Just look at the escort cosworth, it was my dream car, and ive never been so dissapointed in my life all because i broke my £2k rule!
And you cant deny every car i have owned i have always sold it at a profit ive neve lost money.
How about that S1, i blame you for that, you found it and convinced me to get it

A £600 snotter that had been sitting in some chaps garden in manchester for the best part of 10 years, the whole car in bits and half of it totally mising. I was 18 when i bought that!!!
Ok i lost intrest in it, and should have spent another £1000 on the engine.
But i sold it for just shy of £6k back in 2006
And believe it or not its still going strong today, the last 2 pics of it were taken just before christmas buy the current owner. dont like the gay flaps and sticker, but you cant say it was shonky considering what i started with!!!

how about that for a battery tray and inner wing

humm blasted and zinc'd
to this when i sold it
and this is it a few months ago
SO EM I BLAME YOU, YOU GOT ME HOOKED ON THE MK3, ITS ALL YOU FAULT!!!
