:oops: :oops: :oops: sadly that's me now.... luckily though no commondore! It's great having an early as a daily driver but for me I'm not going to risk mine again. As much as I want to drive it everyday, I'm not game to risk it all again.
Speed and Style........... One day I'll get the speed bit.

I'm a firm believer that you can't take your money with you when you go. So with what money you have , put it into something
that you can enjoy NOW. What I'm trying to say is, why spend your money on something that you want to keep hidden in the shed
and only bring it out on special occasions, once or twice a month. Get it out and enjoy it, drive it, show it off, you could die tomorrow and what did you get out of it, ziltch, nothing. That's why I drive my cars whenever and as often as I can, we even take 2 cars out together on a day trip. You may as well put them on classic rego and only drive on club outings.
A car is something to enjoy, so get out there and enjoy them. The most enjoyment I get is when people break their necks looking around and saying, Hey, look at that, I used to have one of those years ago,brings back memories.
Get them out of the shed and DRIVE EM. Cheers Graham

It's like buying a house and not live in it, aye Wayne. Imagine all the cars that we don't know about that have been restored or revived, just sitting in sheds with their owners sitting there looking at them, not game to bring em out for fear of something happening. That's what insurance is for. Maybe they are bad drivers? :silent: :lol:

Totally agree, I'm far from precious about my cars. BUT, when you have driven it daily for seven years only to have some lowlife steal it and then $*#@ it up a bit you have to seriously rethink your ways. Mine will be driven, just not daily anymore. Harsh reality I have to deal with. Some people are scum and I work in amongst their play ground..... Although I will add I get more enjoyment out of driving my cars and I couldn't care less if no one looked at them.
