NEW THREAD IDEA: a place where we come clean and admit to the RR world all of our silly ideas, judgements and internal battles where we try to convince ourselves, or others, of one thing, when it clearly is about another. E.g. I was kidding myself when.........I said that checking carandclassic.co.uk every day was just being interested in old cars, rather than leading to another car in the stable. It clearly did the latter, resulting in a new chapter that presents lots of exciting things for 2017, I have lots of ideas......  Over to the RR community to come clean about yours....... |

I check ebay and carandclassic daily ... No purchase so far, but I can safely say : I'm kidding myself when I think I'm only looking for specific Volvos.

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated
Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

When I had a garage built to take 6 cars & said it was just for room for other stuff. Within about 3 months, guess what... full of cars

Every time in the past 9 years that I've decided I've had enough of my 110 and that I was going to sell it.
It was never going to happen.

Sixteen years ago when I told my eldest that the sixth seat in my then recently purchased XC Falcon was for baby, not knowing that my then fiancee, now wife, was already pregnant.

When I had free access to a large barn I told my wife I had four mk1 mr2's,
In reality, I had ten in there and I thought I'd fix them all lol.

I was kidding myself when I said my rusty Carlton would soon be back on the road, oh how we laughed when we realised the more rust we cut out, the more rust we found!  Starting to get there now though! |

When I started building my Haynes Roadster and said to myself I wouldn't do anything stupid to it... like put a 3.0 V6 in it. Whoops.
Or when I bought a supercharged Dolomite and told myself it would be a nice simple rolling project...
