brownnova Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 - Get the Yugo running and then on the road. - More fleet rotation i.e. try more cars (better than 2019s one in one out) - Go to Shitefest 2020 - Either finally win a roffle or stop entering them...

Amishtat Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 This time last year I made some rash prediction of getting the Gazelle, A99 and the 164 back on the road. Twelve months later and I've used the A99 a few times, driven the 164 twice and literally not even touched the Gazelle.. Maybe for the best if I don't make any resolutions this time. Still fancy a four door fifties /sixties septic barge though and I'm forty next year so maybe I'll treat myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a gender reassignment statement, right? Which is easier? Changing ones personality or gender ? Because I just want to be a better person.

Wack Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Don't bid online for auction stuff you haven't actually been to see first I managed to buy about 150kg of books with 5 CDs amongst them by bidding on the wrong lot , I thought it was the other way round .

Supernaut Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Attend another shitefest, wherever it may be (perhaps not UK). Buy some sort of fast-ish barge, perhaps. However, I can't let go of the 316 either. HMC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Buy more cars, but sell at least as many as I buy. Selling has proved the hard part because I have bought cars that I like and therefore don't want to part with them again. Maybe the answer is to buy cars I don't like so much, then I can experience them and pass them on without feeling the loss!

Joey spud Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Re mot the YRV turbo and find it a new home. Get the Subaru truck welded up,mot'd and back on the road again for June/July then worry about paint matching the repairs later. The big one for 2020 is to treat myself and find a nice long term keeper something like a Pontiac Tempest,Mercury Comet,Ford Falcon,Plymouth Valliant that kind of thing ideally original paint / slightly scruffy but 100% honest and deffo not another project. Something like this. cort16, LightBulbFun, eddyramrod and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobthebeard Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 To try and stop worrying. I spend half my time worrying what might happen and the other half worrying about what has happened. Anxiety being an almost permanent state. Stop checking the oil and coolant before every trip, stop listening to every clunk or rattle and just stop being a nervous mechanical obsessed wreck. Owning Rovers various has contributed, but am determined. Twisterboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skizzer Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Mine are exactly the same as they were last year, which tells you everything there is to know about - me - my year - New Year resolutions. On 12/24/2018 at 9:06 PM, Skizzer said: Sell at least two of the fleet, maybe more. (Plans are already in hand for two.) Bring the XJ6 home to Wales. Get the Granada fixed. Stop working weekends. Spend more time keeping on top of cars. Get into welding/fabricating properly. Make decent progress on the Rancho. Make the Lancia run before the end of January - it’s so damn close. Then get it MOT’d and cruise around in it pretending to be cool. Use the Renault 16 and the XJ-S more. And the Rover. And the Vauxhall. Get the Rover radiator re-cored and use it for work in the summer. The Moog, Tickman and RobT 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplebargeken Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Survive 2020 without wanting to kill someone. Do the last few bits on the 4 door Toledo. Fully restore the 2 door Toledo (well get it solid and running, also stopping) Think what to do with the Tacuma. Drive the Rover as per usual. Attend events including Shitefest. Do the Round Britain Reliability Run in October. Not die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
