New Years shite resolutions?

[mk1_4dr]

The new year will be bringing me, hopefully, some new chod to smoke around in, probably in the shape of a mk3 Granada estate/Carlton/740 etc etc.Also, not using the escRot everyday might mean I get some real progress made on it (yesterday, I discovered that I've put 11k on it this year )

[pompei]

Echoes that good wishes sentiment to prospective new dads.Cav - it's a piece of piss, honest I had it done a month after the infant emerged and I can nearly sit down unaided now .

[Richard]

I had it done a few years ago and I drove home.

[Station]

I'd like to firsty:Take all the stuff off my Astra so I have room and put it on t'other AstraI'd like to buy this year:Vauxhall CalibraMorris MarinaRover 213Another StarionEqually soft Japanese coupeSomething massive

[warren t claim]

BUMP 4 A REAL THREAD

[Craig the Princess]

1. MoT the Marina

2. Fix the Rover Coupe for OMGLOMPG Commutting

3. Paint the purple allegro. Started removing paint as painting it was a present for Mrs the Princess in 2011 so it hasn't really been progressing. That said the car has been owned by us since 2004, was MoTed in 2010 and has done as many miles in our ownership as we have had house moves (4 miles to MoT station and back).

To become slim, fit and healty.To own a SWB Froterror Sport or SWB Landy and actually use it off road.

Three years on it remains pretty much the same

 

Become slim (wont happen)

Get fit (see above)

Buy SWB Fronty (Not Landy as "Landy Tax" puts it out of my reach)

Use same for a bit of green lane fun

Swap caravan for a slightly bigger one.

 

On the plus side I now own some cast iron shite in the form of the Cherry.

[derskine]

Un sorn the cortina and 340, but that will take some work

[barefoot]

Spend less than seven grand on running and maintaining three ropey old bloody cars.

 

May do a Rod Kerr and purchase push bike.

 

 

Spoken straight out my arse.

[inconsistant]

My resolution, like for 2013, is to not buy an MG Maestro

[skattrd]

For me it would be the same as last year, sell a few cars to get the number down to something more manageable. Hopefully this will mean I can keep them all in decent condition.

I said that last year, but I have the same number of cars I did 12 months ago.

 

On the plus side though I have had 2 of my bucket list cars this year (Storia X4 & Lancia HPE).

 

As for potentially getting another motor I'm unsure what is next on the cards, it could be anything from a Saab v4  to a Subaru Impreza. There isn't really anything I feel I must have at present, although I do seem to be lacking an automatic and a decent sized estate car.

[brickwall]

Need another Rover.

[Junkman]

Replace the 405 with something pre-1986 to finally rid my land of the last bit of horrible newfangled tosh.

Get Miss Lette on the road.

Get shitfaced more often.

No sports.

[Lukas]

Get the Leone on the road (finally)

Do a proper rustproofing on the Mazda 6

Drive around in the Pajero when salt is gone

 

As we (my Mrs. and I) are moving into our first house in summer 2014, funds will be needed for the renovation work and the needed furniture. So buying more old jap cars will not be on the list for 2014 I fear...

[NorfolkNWeigh]

As 2014 will also be my 50th, I intend to;

 

Purchase a 328 or 528 and rape it for its engine and gearbox.

Replace 316 engine and auto box with lovely 6 cylinder manual.

Weigh in the re,mains of my Disco when the Tax runs out after removing engine for......

Purchase a 2 door Range Rover.

Somehow prevent wife buying me a motorcycle she thinks I want for birthday and divert funds to Range Rover.

Put 300tdi in Range Rover.

Park e30 328 and 2 door tdi Rangie in garage with Mrs N's Merc as 3/4of 'Keep forever fleet'

Start looking and saving for 70's Jag or Merc for 2014 purchase for remaining 1/4

 

Lose at least 5 stone.

Become a nicer person.

Fly to the fuckin moon,well it's as likely as those two.

[Jim Bell]

Stop buying £400 cars.

[anonymous user]

Because £400 is just too much?

[Junkman]

As 2014 will also be my 50th...

 

Together we'll be hundred!

Beer must be had and something beige be bought.

[vulgalour]

1. Ride a motorbike.

[NeXTGen]

Finally finish the Iveco 35.10 XLB conversion to the 59.12 engine with some help from a friendly truck repairer, match the tyres on the back of the Rx7, sort the Impreza's clutch, pull the dents out of the Forester.

Try not to buy an XJS v12 for the second time  

[brickwall]

Don't tempt me with Jags at the mo. I defo need another Rover this coming Earth orbit of the Sun. Both my parents have been poorly this year,  so chod has been thin on the ground. They are both getting better thus Rover is the game.

[Junkman]

A parent-suitable Rover would come up for sale this spring, if this helps.

[HMC]

I know the chinese ascribe animals to years etc, but in my calender I hope its going to be the year of the Cortina

[Craig the Princess]

1. Ride a motorbike.

 

I'd recommend doing a CBT to anyone, really good day and a good introduction (and also where Mrs the Princess put her foot down and said no Motorbikes)

[brickwall]

Perhaps, perhaps! I'm gonna see what crops up Feb\March

[vulgalour]

I don't want to do the whole CBT thing, I get severe claustrophobia when I put a helmet on, you see, even an open face one.  I just think riding a motorbike of any sort would be about as unrealistic as New Year Resolutions get, for me at least.  I love the idea of motorbikes (well, wearing lots of leather at any rate) but I'm just not man enough to handle even the most feeble of two wheelers.  Remember, the last time I got on anything motorised with two wheels I fell off and got my foot stuck in the faring and couldn't turn the stupid thing off.

[brickwall]

Those motorised golf caddys can be a nightmare

I wouldn't worry about it, I was a bike instructor who still rides everyday and I'm a borderline retard.

[dugong]

Stop buying £400 cars.

And buy more £100 sets of wheels?

[af1]

Find an old peugeot!!!
