Done the bike thing to death when i was in my late teens/early 20's and after a good mate lost his life on one a couple of years ago i wouldn't want to risk making Elliott fatherless!

Tiff you cheeky fooker i said i am bored with Cossies not life mate

Took the 3 door out of the garage today drove it 1 mile and then put it away again without getting the spanners out which for me is not a good sign

You need to get into ERST's Much more fun Thats where its at, you know you wanna

On a serious note, I know its not the same, but I feel exactly the same. Having not driven my car since last Jan, I'm in absolutely no hurry to drive it again.. thought I would be Realised they are money pits

I think alot of it has to do with the season/weather as well... whats the fun this time of year..!!!

You still enjoying the breaking etc part of it??

Got the urge to go buy a newish M5 and come on here and tell you lot all about my daily races
Maybe i'll just stay out of the garage for a while and see if i get the urge again soon? Failing that keep your eyes on the cossie parts for sale section for a whole host of new goodies

Go read the list of people that have paid for their track pass and garage at Beds and you will see my name on there you plonker

Will see how i feel when i've had a go on track but am certainly not losing intrest in modifying cars as that is the best bit for me Maybe i should buy an old shed instead of the 3 door i have now as it may keep me occupied for a little longer than the 2/3 months this one has
