Whats your motoring related New Years resolution?

[Remagel2507]

So here we are again with another year nearly over and I just remembered that I started a new years resolution thread last year http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... so I thought I would see:

a) if anyone from the original thread had managed to meet their resolutions

b) what are everyone's for this year

For me the E class is now on the road but still having problems on long runs, the Shogun now has a new gearbox, but the 7 series has only done about 15 miles since last year.

So next years will be to:

Make some progress on the BMW and now that I have passed my test find something small and fun to drive when I'm in not in my diesel Corsa.

Over to the masses

Good thread

My motoring new years resolution?

- To stop just endlessly perusing the PH classifieds weighing up this car versus that, and actually decide on a car i'd like, and buy it!

[Dave Hedgehog]

not to get nicked

[melvster]

To buy my first car, really really want a Panda 100HP. I want an old saloon/barge of some sort but that will have to wait a while until premiums are lower.

[SooperDan]

To spend the money I would have spent on a girlfriend on making my car as fun as possible - and hopefully get in a MINI mag by the Summer

Cycle to work every day ecept for when there's fog and mist.

There's only one type of man that drives a MINI and doesn't have a girlfriend. A petrolhead

[Kolbenkopp]

Mine:

Part 1: don't waste any more petrol on comuting in a boring, hateful car and buy a year of public transport [done]:


Part 2: get a fun car to be enjoyed when ever possible. Currently thinking of this:


Part 3: this is where it gets difficult. Come up with the right man maths to fit a nice shed in the picture :

To at least use my weekend car on weekends! I have a habit of buying sportscars and not using them as much as I should

[Jasandjules]

To carry a 9mm pistol in the car and summarily execute MLMs.......

If I had no lessons to pay for I would be racing you to the dealers!

Very Nice!

I have done all the hard part (thank fk) had 24 lessons, average my instructor said was about 35. Passed 2nd time though but feels good to pass, best of luck with the lessons and tests mate.

[JayTee94]

Thanks mate!

I am hoping to pass by March, but I think that may be cutting it a bit fine.

Slow Down. Noticed my speed creeping up alot, especially on the motorways. Tend to sit at just under the magic banning mark instead of the limit..

Also.. Walk/Use public transport more in the city, instead of paying £7 quid a day to park. 140 quid a month!!

[Major Fallout]

Drop the 650, its very capable and very fast but so so boring. Its effortless but I want more drama.

Probably refresh the bottom end on the old racer's engine.

Finish this MGB Sebring by the end of january.

And if I haven't spent my money on girls, I might look at a chimaera.

It is possible, if you have 2 lessons a week, or you might just adapt to driving pretty quickly. You done your theory yet? if not book it now, you can wait about 3 weeks for the theory test, i had to wait 7 weeks for my test (1st time) but i managed to get a cancellation straight away so re took my test 2 weeks later. I spent about 6 months having lessons.
