IM BACK

Post by littlefeller » Sun Mar 31, 2013 7:49 am

:o yep thats correct, i am.
been abit pre-ocupied lately, been 2 bareevements in my family :cry: luckly not toooo close :whistle: still driving the lude :D (though zappy was correct, the rust is bubbling back through :o :evil: ).
now the upside to the bereevements means i now have an inheritance to spend :lol: question is what on, now obviously a new car is in order (though i have to somehow figure how to do this without letting my mrs know i have this money :P ) maybe someone could rear end me again :P then i could say its an insurance thing 8-)
now here is my dilemer - what car :think:
problem is most newer cars are boring, at first i thought another honda as mine has been so great over the years, but which one, choices choices.
had a look at a nissan 350z but do they fall into the higher road tax bracket as they are newer than the lude, then i thought hey just get a 5th gen lude, but then i had to wash my mouth out and go onto the net to watch porn just to get the thought out of my head :lol: a kit car would be great i thought, but with this friggin winter we are having put a stop to the idea of a rag top :roll: then for one daft moment im googling mr2 turbo, have a word, they will be just as rusty as my lude, or if not they soon will be. dont want an s2000, an integra type r is a maybe, though i did see a nice rx7 on auto trader but again its the age thing - rust waiting to bubble through. should i be a sad fooker and go the devils fuel road :o :shock: damn there i go again, getting used to taste of soap now, its loosing its shock value :evil: .
maybe i should just keep driving the lude and spend it on booze drugs and women and die happy.

Stick to Honda family. Civic Ek9 or EP3. A wee charger in either of these would be sweet :twisted:

but its over 20 years old now :cry: still on original belts :o :lol: why spend a shed load on this one (which is only going to get rustier) :evil:
did consider a large no2 kit and blow up the lude, it would be fun trying :twisted:

lower tax eh, there a bargain at the mo. problem will be if road tax goes onto fuel :think: im back to driving to work again (new job started in december) ears burning, yeh sometime midle of last week :D .
was also tempted with a supercharged mx5 but im no hairdresser so that went out of the window (coupled with the rag top problem) hey im getting thinner on top without the wind taking even more :evil: .
is it just me or has it gone abit quiet on here? :?
ok so who is getting the pee lately? :lol:
