I felt sorry for my mates brother who was moving from Whitby to Rugby (that wasn't why I was feeling sorry for him) as he was skint so
hitch-hiking up and down carrying as much of his gear as he could carry each time, so I lent him my Minivan. It was my first (legal) car that I leant
to drive in and it was ace. I never saw it again. Mates brother said it broke down on the way back from Rugby so he got out and hitch hiked home. He
had no idea where he left it.

Not buying a genuine red 289 Cobra for 2000 pounds in 1972 - I had the money but not the time to get it back to Cape Town from the then Salisbury
Rhodesia before tech started. (There was an orange Lambo Muira in the showroom as well for similar money but I thought that I stood a better chance of
driving the Cobra the 3000 km home without a breakdown - still think I was right..)

Wee Willie Winkie 101
First car I messed about with was a morris minor traveller with the wood and pop out indicators, anyway it must have broke down or failed its mot. I
took it to bits aged about 6 or so, just stripped the loom and got covered with tar like stuff. Anyway my old Dad scrapped it a few months later. Now
get this, the reg plate was WWW 101 this was before the world wide web was around. Whish I had that reg still. I can remember reg as we used to call
the car wee willie winkie.
What would that reg number be worth today.

I should of maybe brought a track dedicated track slag and abused it for a few years instead of a se7en. Driving on the roads is not as much fun as I
first thought.
I have not owned enough cars to regret any buys or sells and have missed out on the golden days of iconic cars and number plates.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Swapping my 205 for a new car. I loved the Panda but If I'd put a tiny fraction of the money I spent on it into my 205 it would have been
amazing, and I'd have loads of money now. Also not buying a Granada Cosworth I was offered for £250 last year with tax and MOT on it, I could
have scrapped it and sent in the tax and made a profit.

Not much to put on here till friday:
Really stupid bit of driving which has caused a lot of work (breaking it as insurance is not worth the premium hike) right when I dont need it.

Selling my 1937 SS Jaguar saloon in 1962 for £40 - what I paid for it.
Selling my 1948 MG Y type saloon in 1970 for the same.
But in both cases - nowhere to store them.
I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.
