skattrd Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 The main thing for me next year is to get cars fixed, instead of buying more. Plans are forming to sort the 850 and w203, if things go how I hope, then I might have both on the road by the end of Jan 2020. After those, it's the e36 and 205 to get fixed.

Wanting to is ok, following it through is probably not a good idea. But there is a thread on here with useful tips on how to dispose of a body. Like you I hope not to die in 2020. I want to move house, downsize and stop surrounding myself with crap and wasting money. (It worked* so well last year). Try not to buy any more financially crippling cars (so no more Land Rovers, Bentleys or V8 Chryslers) I don't count the Mx5 as I bought it this year, but haven't collected it yet. Learn to enjoy myself, may have left that a bit late. And try to be a bit nicer to people, at least on the surface.

Wingz123 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Got quite a few on mine - 1) Lose 10 stone- its doable and I have the willpower to do it. I lost close to this before but a setback back in April of this year threw me off the rails and saw me really rather quite ill which actually forms part of my second new years resolution. 2) Resume normality - what do I mean? Get back to my old work routine. 3) Save more 4)Try, try and try not to buy anymore cars. I really havent the space and only end up causing myself more stress when I do and dont really have anywhere to put them - Alot easier said than done when there are a lot of bargain motors on this site! Also keep the Xantia HDi going - it's a car, it works and it does what I need it to do.... 5)Progress towards buying my place in Spain - this includes spending money on my existing house tidying it up and getting it ready. 6) Get out and about even more in the truck. paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkyarddog Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 To try and get my mk2 Golf GTI road worthy again. Been a long time dormant. It's being typically German,or in other words a POS. I do like it's chunky looks though,and the torque of the 1.8 8 valve engine. Will try and muster some enthusiasm. Wingz123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroller133 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I've got quite a few: Get up earlier (and probably go to bed earlier too) Walk an average of 8000 steps a day Cycle at least 100 miles every month lose at least 2 stone, but ideally up to 4. Try not to worry/minter about relatively insignificant problems. Read more books Learn more about cycle maintenance- possible do a training courses. I was up at 6:30 and had done 6500 steps by 9am, so not a bad start. The big Breakfast in Morrisons cafe whilst waiting for my windscreen replacement is probably not ideal though!
