I love my Mercedes! My car:  Photograph of my car (taken by me):  And now a poster that hangs in my study:  What have you done to celebrate your love for your motor? |

I've got framed A2-sized prints of various cars I've owned on the walls at home - Capri, Cortina, 2002, XR3 etc. Weirdly, they are disappearing one by one and being replaced by 'proper' art. My wife says she knows nothing about it. I guess it's just one of those things.

I've got remnants from one of her previous engines that exploded displayed on the hearth and downstairs bog   Oh, and I call her "her"  EDIT: Bloody hell, post #666  Hopefully that isn't an omen for anything, talking about exploding engines  |

Everytime I walk in the front door there are some photos from my Retro cars feature, that are greeting me and reminding me that I should never have sold my car!  |

Well, I don't have ornaments or posters of them but I spend every possible penny I've got on them. And often money I shouldn't spend on them too... |

That's how much I love my cars. |

There is one car I hold dearest of all. Much has come and gone in the time I've owned it: girls, jobs, houses but escRot has been the constant. I have a picture hung above the fireplace in my bedroom of escRot, a picture that my sister painted for me a number of years ago now, and it is one of my most prized possessions, one of the few things I would save from a fire without question. I guess I must really love it to have not got mad all the times it resolutely refused to start after nightshifts and I had to push it across the carpark. To have driven it for tens of thousands of noisy, uncomfortable miles over nearly 7years and to have worn a big dumb grim for the vast majority of those miles. The Golf, Prelude, E30, K10, my current LOLvo and even to a certain extent the Whale were all just tools to put me on until the day I can get back behind the bakelite wheel of escRot. Every dog has its day, and I've recently cleared my diary for that particular runt of the litter  |

who says no tongues..... think this is extreme licking   under the scrappage scheme I was contemplating scrapping my cars and buying a new one, but decided that playing with cars is a way of life. it seems like my house is just like an oversized garage now though. and the car above would have been scrapped by anyone else after I crashed it in 2003, but my cars are just toys to play with. ohh and this is my first car, bought in 1997, and I want to be driving it again for my 50th birthday in 7 years time, and this was taken at the beginning of this year  |
