1. My E28 is pretty much complete now, so plan just to use that as much as I can, with a decent service and a rear arch roll at some point early in the year.
2. My E24 will be coming in from the cold. Xmas decorations are being packed up and put away on Saturday, which means I can rearrange the garage to finally get the big 6 parked in there and start stripping back to a shell and work out the extent of metalwork required. Ideally I'd like 2017 to see that completed and in paint but I know its going to be a slog.
3. Decide whether to keep my V8 Disco - which means some annoying and expensive jobs, or replace it with something interesting. The retro wagons thread is a particular fave of mine at the moment...
4. Go to RRG17 - I made plans the last 2 years which bombed out late on and I missed it so much, so will get the family involved - which makes it easier to get signed off!!
5. Take more photos of car stuff!

Get the 3.9 in the Land Rover by February, do a burnout in it by August and organise a Land Rover shootout at Santa Pod because it'll be funny.
Finally fix the Capri, enjoy it for a bit, meet up witht he guy who owns my dad's and then find it a new home.

Hopefully my testicles will have recovered enough from the kicking 2016 gave them to actually get Woody back on the road in time for his job as a tow rig for The Revival... Not saying which year you might notice... P.

1 Get my recently acquired Rover 75 spruced up and a thread up here if I can stop getting annoying pop ups on Photobucket.
2. Tidy my 9-3 convertible reproof the hood and eiher sell it or wack it onto a limited mileage policy. Probably sell as I would like something older.
3. Try to stick with one or two cars for a while and stop chopping and changing. Six cars in 2016 is a bit much.
4. Actually get out and drive the blasted things and not get distracted by other things.
5. Start my flexability exercises again to enable me to actually be able to work on my cars again. As even cleaning and polishing can be a struggle.

Get the Firebird sorted and MOTd, get the Lotus out of the garage, get it running, MOTd and sold so I can buy something else. I cannot go a whole year without buying another car.

Kinda decided not to buy another car this year and spend some money on the ones I've got. It would make a whole lot of sense..
I don't have much faith in myself tbh as I can't resist wanting more cars.

What a good idea for a thread and what a lovely mk1 you have. I usually have a few. Buy a 911 has been on my yearly list for about ten years now.
1 - Get my 944 recommissioned and on the road.
2 - Take the above 944 to some events and use it to have a uk holiday.
3 - Buy less cars this year, 2016 saw only 4 purchases. I hope for less this year.
4 - Sell some of what I have and cut my 4 vehicle fleet down... To perhaps 3.
5 - Buy a 911.

You can't buy happiness but you can buy cars and that's kind of the same thing.
