New Years Resolutions - What is/are yours?

[mercrocker]

To try and give less of a shit about things I cannot control.    Rust, for one.

[rickvw72]

I’ve been at a lose end last part of the year, after finishing a resto. Have an old Fourtrak to sort out next though, so the welders coming back out!

Would also like to acquire some parts to convert my T25 engine to a Golf GTI one this year, I have the engine, loom etc so good start made.

 

Will need to get rid of a few as well. Apparently from next year, cars bought as parts count as cars in my house.

 

Naturally I’m trying to buy another car, so that’ll be 12 on next years accountancy rules...

[DVee8]

A Porsche to buy a Porsche,you never know.

[Wingz123]

Ooooo....fancy holding it until March or so?!??

Pm me man....

[Doctormop]

Keep my job Keep paying my mortgage Try to stay under the radar and get by.

No ambitions of car sales or purchases My Civic is most likely uneconomical to repair come Mot time in February and will be sadly missed.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Lose weight, spend much less time sat on my arse on forums, holiday and enjoy life more.

[drivewaymyway]

I'm the sort of bloke that starts something but not often finishes or makes anything of it.. I'm wasting money on electric guitars at the moment so it might be nice to be able to play one, one day... Along with all my vehicle related woes, the dia mess that is a double length garage full of possessions, a garden full of the same and a shed full of the same... then perhaps sort out the loft full of.... the same....  Christmas is a bad time of year for us hoarders, more stuff to poke in rooms full of stuff... I gotta sort my head out too.. it would be nice to get these twatting noisy neighbours sorted some how too.. I just found out she is pregnant and dropping in March.. Pre Brexit baby, I wonder what they will call it... ?

[Junkman]

Notwithstanding, I also want a Sd.Kfz.182, a black motorcyclist's leather jacket (Erdmann preferred) with chonchos and fringes and a shitload of rivets, and a chromed German steel helmet.

Then rock up with it at any of those self righteous D-Day reenactions, open the lid, show my upper torso, shout "Feuer!" and watch the already incontinent crotches of everyone in attendance become properly soggy.

 

Because I'm sick and tired of that kinda horseshit once and for all.

 

Give peace a fucking chance, ffs.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Those WW2 re-enaction people are more scary than real Nazis in a kiddy fiddler sort of way.

[Junkman]

Jeezerz, at last somebody understands me.

 

Thank you so, so much!

 

Let's make 2019 (this doesn't even sound like a year. It's something out of a ca 1984 science fiction flick) completely WW2 reenaction free.

That would count a shitload more on my roster than all that climate change horeshit and Brexit boogyman complete I must not post 'retard' on this here forum bollox combined.

[bangernomics]

Guitar lessons for my not so subtly wrapped pressie under the tree.

[dollywobbler]

Sort out covered parking. Actually fix the Invacar's transmission. Spend less time on Facebook.

[sierraman]

Get shit done.

[Angrydicky]

My new years resolution is simple: buy no more cars and get the three long-termers (Vauxhall Royale, Standard 12 and Austin A55, in that order) back on the road. I certainly hope to get the first two sorted and at least make good progress towards the third.

Oh and to enable this to happen, get myself a new job that pays better.

[Uncle Jimmy]

Get the fuck on and get more work done. Keep discipline.

On the whole I'm 50% there; need to further distance myself from the general herd of numptys.

[chaseracer]

Ohh... Good Question.

This does (I hope) not include seeing a bubble top Spitfire arcing through the sky, the sound of a DB601 V12 or the thunderous sound of a Tiger 1 as it squeaks along on its tracks. If WW2 gave anything it’s some epic machinery. However, you and your mates pretending to be G.I’s or a crack Waffen SS division when in fact you’re a van driver from Wisbech is not really normal.

 

Brexshit is another sort of re-enactment.

[Kringle]

I did this years resolution which was to learn to swim. Next years is to buy a house enabling the shit I buy to permanently bed into the ground.

[MorrisItalSLX]

- Purchase slightly more practical, yet still old and shite car

 

- Reduce Jag usage and give it the attention it needs and deserves

 

- Scrap that sodding Hyundai

[fordperv]

The same thing as every year to finish my projects

[beko1987]

Wash my car more than 3 times.

Carry out preventative maintenance before something breaks

Do the Zafiras oil cooler, fucking thing

[Cavcraft]

Hopefully to not be out of work, but also (soz) fancy a second hand Prius next year as our 'main car' and a Lambretta as an unreliable, not main form of transport.

^ Exactly this.

 

I have absolutely zero interest in politics, past or present. But I love machinery, and WW2 generated some absolutely epic vehicles.

 

Including the Sd.Kfz.182 that Junkman mentioned earlier, although I'd settle for a VW Type 166.

My prius will be up for sale in a month or so lol

[dean36014]

I aim to buy a lhm manufacturing plant as in the long term I think it might be cheaper. Want to get the Xm estate and the bx st Tropez on the road.

[PhilA]

Get the Pontiac running and attend at least one car show or meet-up.

 

Phil

[Lord Sterling]

Bring my wife over.

Make/save more money.

Start buying more interesting shite.

[NorthernMonkey]

Oh, and I want something with a fucking smaller sump next year. An Armstrong Siddeley, or similar.

FTFY

[Bren]

Anybody that causes me stress that makes my illness worse will be excommunicated for good.

[HMC]

Buy no cars

 

Sell no cars

 

Essentially, assuming no gearbox borkage/ other melt down etc still having the L322 Range Rover
