What are you obsessing about today?

[vixen1700]

There's a thread in General Gassing like this, where as you put down what you've seen and want at the moment, so though we could have a similar thread in the Classics Forum.

This caught my eye at the weekend, and I so want to own it, it hurts.

Just a shame it's so impractical, and I don't have £23k knocking about.

Like most petrolheads, my wants change constantly, but today, this is what I really want.

what's the problem.

Probably the gallons per mile.

Plus the lack of money to buy it.

Just emailed about this, but unsurprisingly it had an offer for the full asking price and a deposit given, unseen.

Yep, was all set to go along on Saturday, cash in hand. Gutted.

That Spitfire looks lovely, and I'm not really a fan of them.

Yeah, that one just seems to have something about it. Has made me seriously consider making use of my good credit history! (must be sensible, must be sensible...)

Just had a look at your profile picture, I have always loved those Vixen's. Seem to be rare as hen's teeth though - especially in good condition. Lovely car.

Id.

Cheers.

You really should go for that Spitfire.

Just got a call about the Volvo Amazon, buyer who paid a deposit has changed his mind, so off to see it tomorrow.

I did tell ya.

Seem to be in love with this today for some unknown reason.

[vixen1700]

Flicking through the classifieds tonight and oh my word, they don't come up very often at all and it's made me go weak at the knees.

It's mine if my lottery numbers come up on Friday.

Get behind me in the queue madam!

The thing is, I remember walking past a dumped 375L the very same colour in a rough part of Leytonstone in the late '80s, where the M11 link road was being built.

Each day as I walked past it got worse, one side window broken, then two etc, etc.


That was RHD too, wonder if it was taken away and saved/restored.

A small boot 11BL with Pilote wheels at that price, so much want.

Can imagine the drive home over a week or so, stopping off buying cheese & wine.
