Do you miss you car
Discussion
When your on holiday or its being serviced. I read in a thread the other day about someone taking a picture of their new tuscan with them when they went on holiday.
Recently went a week without my car because it was having some work done and I must admit I felt withdrawal symtoms. Whether that was down to restricted movement I dont know but I missed my car

I haven't had a drive since the 27th of September last year due to travel and a lack of insurance. That has been a hard pill to swallow but luckily I only have a month or so to wait till the insurance is renewed. It may only be an average car but the thrill of driving is still there and I can't wait to get behind that wheel again!
problem with working away overseas on rotation for 7 weeks ,,,, things follow in this dangerous order ,
week 1-2 busy at work
week 3-4 start getting itchy feet missing Lotus ....looking at ebay motors , classic section , sportcars , PH classified,
week 5. watching several cars on ebay ....do any PX ?
week 6 ....holy smoke now bidding on another classic ....just bought a cologne capri !!
week 7 ....now cant wait to get home and have fun..
over the last few months have bought the Lotus and now the capri this way ...lucky both are tax exempt and cheap to ensure !!!
and on the plus side i've got 3 weeks off to Hoon around Uk / France till i get back for next rotation

I've recently been without my car for 4 weeks (needed a new starter motor) and I was trying to work out why I was getting grouchy on a Sunday afternoon and now I know why. I was finding myself opening the car up, having a sit in and enjoying the 1980's interior and smell. And then smelling my clothes afterwards as they smelt of the car.
Trip to the docs for me I think.

Did you get a ban then?
Kinda. I was banned from living in Europe
Seriously, driving in China is generally not a good idea, so I haven't. But making it up by some Ringtrips in the very near future (already 3 in the next 2 months

Just over 5 months away at the fettlers for me and withdrawal is well and truly set in. My fault to some respect for saying "there's not rush". Won't be going back there again for work.
Still back next week

I really regret selling my Mk1 MR2 and I do miss it...
Selling it was silly, and I should never have done it. I sold it for the money, cause I knew I'd get a lot more for it before it passed 90,000 miles. I did get a lot more for it, but God do I miss it! That was 3 years ago and I still wish I had it!

Absolutely.
You feel like your legs have been chopped off.
