Off a cliff

Well I've had my lude for nearly 12 years now but I think enough is enough. It needs about 3 or 4k spending on it to bring it back to its former glory.

It will be a sad day when I break it as the engine is sound and still pulls like a train. I have my eyes on an accord type s... got to keep it Honda.

ATM I would rather spend the 3-4 grand on the Lude than buy a newer car, luckily the Lude still ticks all the right boxes for me. New cars are a pain in the ass, expensive, often poorly made, common, full of bonging audio notifications .




You have to keep on top of the issues on your lude or (if you are not totally committed) it will slip in to a state where you have to choose to spend a load on it or get rid of it. My road car needs currently needs its ~3 yearly visit to the body shop and a few other things sorted on it before it gets to that dreaded stage. Luckily it doesn't need £3-4 grand spent on it though

Couldn't agree more, I had a 1994 BB4 Lude back in 2003 for about 18 months, did the usual "I'm bored need something else" consequently I've been there, over the last 20-30 years always thinking I need something newer and more reliable... and look where it got me, broke and back with a 20 year old car, that does everything I need, which I paid peanuts for admittedly I've spend twice on it that I paid for it, but it goes pretty well which puts a smile on my face when I drive it, it isn't the usual Ford ST or Scooby that every other petrol head seems to drive and I can still overtake more powerful and newer cars...

Probably should have just keep my BB4, it would have saved a shed load of money over the last 12-13 years

I always say I drive a 21 year old car I could get a newer car bit what the drokk would I get? Plus I'm really happy with my lude

I drive a lot of cars on quite a regular basis, old and new, and I can safely say that the 'lude still more than holds its own. I haven't found anything that I like driving more..
I'm not going to sell mine, I'll run it until it dies!

Likewise my 3g, run it 'til it drops. Ironically, it'll probably be an M.O.T. fail at some point, with the part(s) needed being unobtainable, until that day... keep rolling.
