Default Fords/cars Interest has gone completely now!

Do not give a toss anymore about cars. When i come on here its only to catch up on things...as even tho i have not met many people off here it good to read up on how they are/what theyre up to!

Nice weather all week, cossie aint turned a wheel! Not bothered about getting it out at all. One of the nicest escos's in the garage and i dont wanna use it...i think ive grown out of em

Anyone else(except indescisive spadge ) done this?

Maybe you're so concious about it being such low mileage and so mint that you can't justify taking it out?

Get a high miler with a few scratches,...you'd be out all the time

Yup know where your coming from! im only going to them this year, as i have hardly taking the cossie to any shows due to problems And this year "might" be one of my last taking the saff to Shows. The best part of it to me is driving to and from them with everyone from the club

At times when I didnt have cash to spare on my S2 I lost interest in it too. At the end of the day I still loved driving it though.

Lee,

That's exactly the reason I do track days now.

After a couple of years of shows, I found them all very samey (except where there was track or pod action to watch), and I've no interest in polishing my car for others.............

Discovering what a cossie can do on the race track compared to the road gave it a whole new lease of life - never going back now!

People who are bored with their Cossies - how would you get to work once you've sold it?

Yep its not the cars that are boring, its the fact you cant drive them properly much without risking your license, take your cossie to a trackday or the nurburgring or somewhere else you can really enjoy the performance and the love may well be rekindled.
No point having it and not driving it how it should be driven, otherwise its like having a bird and not taking her up the wrong'un till she bleeds, its just a waste.
