Default Little use?

I know a lot of you on here dont use there Turbo's/Cossie's everyday(Like me)and lots of you take your cars off road for winter(Again,like me)

But do you ever just think,sod it!Im going to sell it!?!Its alot of money to have sat sitting as an ornament in the garage when the money could go to better use.I know to sell mine id loose alot of money and i have no need to sell it and ive always said id never sell it,but i sometimes i wonder if its all worth it?

I keep having dreams of Plama Screens lol

Does anyone else ever think this?

Yep, ive just done another mile in my S2 this morning so that takes it up to just 6 miles in over a year also the car im building for the track has only been driven once in about 4-5 years and that was when I brought it back from Harthill after buying it

They can get you very down mate, I managed to get so pissed off with everything and wanted to sell all my cars and spares the other month but was talked out of doing it by a close mate

Keep your car as you WILL REGRET IT if you let it go

Yeah round the block twice at my old man's is just under a mile, beside the car isnt taxed,mot'd or insured just now so didnt want to chance my luck and take it further

well tbh the reason i wouldnt sell it is cause ive got 4 grand sitting there and i cant spend it


if i had 4 grand in the bank i woulf and tbh the fun i get is miuch better than the interest id get in a bank

infacy i would prob get 5 grand when i sold it so thats not bad going ( if ya dont count the service costs and running costs )


besides since i got a family i dont di the night out thing alot and thats my night out

I keep thinking of selling the S1 because i only do about 2k a year in it.

I know if i sell it i'd regret it so its staying put for now.
