How much do you love your car????
Well after wanting an escort cosworth from the day they were released, I got one 2 years ago and I must admit, I cant see myself ever selling her.
I've spent a fookin fortune on her admitadely but I never get bored of cleaning, driving, showing and modifying her. If I get bored i'm gonna put her in a carcoon and store her cause i'll never sell
Anyone else in the same frame of mind or am i being a sentimental fooker

Same here, I've almost split with my missus a couple of times cos of my car (I make her get the bus everywhere so I can keep the milage down 
)
Could be persuaded to part with it for an Escos though (when I've got more cash anyway)

PMSL at the range rover pic!
My missus knows that the car is nearly as important as her and the kids!!!
I'm not joking either, the bike is only just underneath that as well!!!!!
It might sound sad, Amen

I murdered my Fiesta and 4x4 Saff
Was very gutted about each one, especially as none of it was my fault (sort of!).
But if none of them had gone i wouldn't have moved up the ladder!
When the escort first got in the garage at home i couldn't sleep, cause i was waiting for a security device to be fitted before it was covered for theft!!!!
Its like listening to a monitor when you have a new born baby and you keep thinking its stopped breathing!
Bloody caRS!

so what car would persuade anyone to sell up and get their new toy, mine would only be for a Ferrari 355, 360, F50 or enzo but i'm never gonna be able to afford one of those, but I do love M3's but not enough to sell my escos

i would love an RS500 or an escos but to be honest i think i would be to scared
to use them
my saff get's a hard life so if i got one i would have to alter my
driving style (or lack of it)

I loved my MR2 to bits, swore I would never sell it, had it years and spent loads on it.
Woke up one morning and decided to sell. It enabled me to complete a 17 year old quest to own a mint Series 1 RS Turbo.
Now I find myself opening my inner garage door just to have a smirk at the S1.
I'll keep it for the next 4-5 years whilst I save up for another milestone - a Ferrari that no doubt I will keep forever!

my current chariot is the best car ive owned to date and ive owned alot of fast cars most of them more expensive than this one.
still have yearnings for a good rwd cossie though have owned a 2wd saf and 3 door previously and miss good old lairy oversteer in a shatty old sierra .
as far as fun goes i really do not think alot can beat a good old rwd cossie had some fookin ace times in my old ones and how i'm here to tell the tale through luck i reckon.
edited to add one of the best days ive had car wise was at a trackday at anglesey race circuit. all the track day-ers were waiting for the go ahead to go track and in the paddock was some very nice & expensive machinery including a 911, TT, tvr's, jap stuff, m5, loads of elises etc. people were looking over the all of the cars and ignoring the sierra (it was full of toffs). by noon that day i had a crowd round the saf after each session cos it was second quickest on the day only second to a caterham superlight R . it was only a stage1 but fook me it was a healthy stage1 pulled like fook i would cream my pants in a 500bhp cossie .
by the end of the day the g/box had packed in, the powersteering fluid had BOILED over lmao and the started motor packed up but hey what a day.
