Default Who loves their car?

I know owning a Ford has its ups and downs, but who absolutly adores their car? I know i'd cry if anything really bad happened to mine and i know i'll cry when i sell it... Is that :gayflag:

funny thing is my cosworth is not worth a lot and the only people who would nick it would be joyriders i suppose as whats the point of ringing a £4000 saff cossie when there are scoobys evos etc?
BUT i still won't park it anywhere i can't see it or leave it in any shopping car park but i would be sooooo heartbroken if it got stolen even though it's worth fuck all
sad really

Agree with that..altho the money you spend soon gets forgotten when you drive it & is working fine.
I think I'll cry when the S2 finally goes..had it for over 7 yrs now & been thro so much grief & had many good times with it on the road & at shows..but even tho I know that it's replacement is superb, I'll still be sad when it's gone.

Yeah i LOVE my cabbie to bits too, not anything special too anyone else, but i have put a LOT of hard work and money AND time in to it!!

I dont think i'll ever sell it as at the end of the day book price is £100 - £300.
But to me its worth faa-sands.
