The Dirty Dozen ish - How many cars can I do in a year!

[S2000]

I have been wanting to do this for at least a decade now and followed someone on the blue forum back in the day, starting with a budget of £1500 buy the first car in January and then offer it on here for sale/roffle and buy the replacement! I won’t hit a dozen vehicles, man maths says if I do more than six I’ll be lucky.

I’m aiming for Merc, or BMW to start but want to try left field French, Italian etc key thing is for whatever I buy over various months to stay in the fold and offer it up here first.

I am under no illusion this is going to cost me, but in for a penny in for a pound you can’t take it to the grave and why not have some fun! I  already follow our forum for sale adverts and eBay tat threads but please follow the thread and suggest anything left field.

Let the carnival begin!

Wrong engine (1.8) right colour, trying to arrange a viewing for next week…..

hmm left field and french you were saying.

can't blame a man for trying, although the selling it in Feb might be the problem given how long I've been trying 🤣

Love a legend but it smacks of not being looked after in its latter years, wrong colour wheels, blacked out windows and smoked in……. You can tell a lot by an area, pictures, massive bunch of keys etc as to what/how the owner is and how they have cared for said vehicle. If that was in Marlow on a gravel drive with a manicured lawn then no brainier 🤡

Great idea, you get to drive a few interesting cars and people on here get the chance to buy them for hopefully a fair price. Probably not too different from what HMC has been doing for years now, and he deserves a medal for it.

Left field Fiat? Derby. MoT in March
Really bad set of pictures though

I would love to amass a collection as you have done, alas I only have space for 3 at home and 2 in storage. As mentioned above, if I don’t do it now I probably never will, I'm at an age where too many people in my circle of friends are either dying prematurely or battling the big C, so time to step out my comfort zone and be part of something.
