Too many cars, not enough time/money!
I have just been drooling on Pistonheads.
Does everyone lust over having loads of cars? Is it natural?
I got upset today as I broke a tooth and had to pay £58 to get it sorted, I worry when my kids go on trips with school and have to pay for the
privilage, council tax, don't ask!!
But looking on PH I found a lightweight original mini for £13K. a bike powered Riot for £10K and a gsxr buggy for £7.5.
I would buy them all if I could even though they are stupid money!
Why oh why did I not get interested in collecting book matches, or toothpicks, or beermats?
Is there a pill available, or some Men in Black thingy to just let one be happy owning enough socks?
Actually, maybe I should be asking this on the Greenpeace site, suspect there may be a few here in the same boat!!
Hang in there, you are not alone!

I found a way of having many cars, I started to like cars that most people would think are awful  It's not that I chose to like
cheap/obscure/ugly cars, I genuinely would rather have, say, a £200 trabant over a modern supercar (srsly)
If you want to feel better about your recent dental bill, I snapped half a front tooth off and had root canal work, £780 ^_^

£780, cripes, yep I feel better.
That would pay for my first ten cars!

Seriously, though - I (and I suspect many others on here ) know exactly what you mean - and I bet you do the lottery, don't you!

I can't see the point in you getting a 'lightweight' Mini Mate.
