How many times a week do your friends/family tell/ask you ...
« on: 22 February 2009, 13:31 »
... why don't you just buy a new car?

I swear, everyone I know, whenever we talk about cars, always ask me - why don't you just get a new one? Its driving me mad (pun not completely intended :laugh:).

I don't think people understand that even if I had a new car - I'd still take it apart every week :tongue:

This never happens to me! but mainly because our family currently owns, 2 Land rovers, 2 Morgans, 4 Minis, 3 Renault 4s, MG Midget, Split Screen Camper, 32 V8 Ford, oh and 7 or 8 motorbikes from 1965 to 2001

so we are kinda car nuts :)

Our garden does look like a car park tho

But the same, new cars bore me to death, im a mechanic at a Peugeot garage and there so so boring! Oh and new cars look crap.
