Car Dilema...
Posted 26th March 2008 at 11:49 by Simo
My first morning back in wet, windy, cloudy, dull, cold England. I am glad to be back really
This morning's dilema though is about my car(s). When I'm not on holiday (I am until next Monday) I have a really busy schedule. THis has meant that when my white VTR failed its MOT back in November, I didn't have time to fix it... and the garage wouldn't as its too low to get on the ramps!
So, since then, Ive been using the turbo VTS as a daily runner, which is fine. BUt a couple of weeks ago, the gerabox started to play up (again) and I just know at a roundabout or junction anytime soon the diff is going to go again!
So what do I do? I need to fix the VTS for the track/shows this year, so that going to happen anyway. But in the mean time, I need some wheels! The VTR needs approx. £400 spending on it to pass its MOT.
I keep telling myself that I'm gonna get a different car.. a bigger car, as long as its sporty But, when it comes down to it, I dont want the ongoing expense of a car on finance.
This morning, the idea of getting a Mk2 Saxo VTS popped into my mind and so far I've not managed to shake it off.
I really REALLY am an impulse buyer once I get an idea in my head. Do I do it... do I look for a different car? DO I go the whole hog and get an all new car? (always fancied an Evo, but I like the clio 182 also... and the Leon and loads of others too!)
Its frustrating not knowing what I should do. One solution is short term, the other is longer term. Argghhhh!! I know if I pick up the car keys and go looking for a car, I'll end up buying something!
Time for a cuppa coffee and a re-think maybe!
