Exactly that. The excitement of hunting out the car, and the awesomeness of actually claiming the eventual 'winner' as your own. The plans you begin to put together in your head, how you're gonna personalise and improve on what you've bought. There can be few more thrilling moments in a petrolhead's life than getting the keys to his/her new motor, hehe!Cavalier342 wrote:I know the feeling mate, I've only owned 8 cars to date, the V6 being my latest, but the prospect of getting behind the wheel of another car is always exciting to me, especially when I intend to buy it. To me it's a new beginning, new project etc.

I work from home, which means that I don't actually do all that much driving tbh. The missus does more miles than I do these days! There's no real 'need' to have the cars up and running while I work on them, although I'd be lying if I said that it wasn't a royal PITA shifting them about when they're without their engines and gearboxes etc. I get a lot of enjoyment out of tinkering, and the driving that I do undertake tends to be of the 'lengthy journey' variety (mainly work related stuff) and in Cavalier Turbo #1. I'll admit that my projects have been slow going these past couple of years - primarily down to an immense workload - but what's the rush?! I've got two cars on the road at any one time, and that's fine by me.btcctroy wrote:Well your not denying the fact.humbucker wrote:Cheeky get, hehe!btcctroy wrote:Exciting stuff.

I didn't think you were criticising, but I can see why you might think 'why buy another car when you don't appear to use the ones that you've already got', hehe! It doesn't help that I can only post progress reports after they're out of print, making my online project threads seem even slower than they actually are, but I'll post regular updates on the new car fo' sho' (this project will only be in print every now and again). Well, that's the plan anyway. Roll on Saturday!btcctroy wrote:It's what ever suits you pal.
I'm not criticizing, people can do what ever they want to make them happy
