The cars that passed you by
Discussion
Iv been thinking recently about all the cars I've wanted to own but now prob never will.
For what ever reason. Eg. To old (mk1 mr2), got to expensive ( 3dr cosworth) (993turbo) (lotus Carlton)
Can't help but think I missed my chance with a few of them.
What did you always want and what's stopping you?

Always wanted a Corrado and I missed out on a late purple one which was totally standard which had only done 75000 it hadn't been used for awhile and was literally only around the corner I and could have pushed it home if the battery was flat.
I did see it on ebay and I forgot to bid on it and it went for £500
Also there was a 1993 Audi coupe I wanted and it had low mileage and had been sitting in a garage for 10 years it matched the colour of my other Audi's and I fancied having a model of each in the same colour
I wouldn't of be able to get it back home but the guy only wanted £200 if it was going to a good home .
And don't get me started on the bargain basement thread I'm glad sometimes that I'm skint as my drive would be overflowing with unused cars, their was a lovely black 924 on their which was in Lancashire which had only done 70 odd thousand if I had the money I would have done a road trip for that one.

Honda S2000, always looked at them when planning to change cars, never actually tried or bought one.
Speaking as someone who finally took the plunge a couple of months ago, do it next time you're due for a change. You won't regret it. As for me personally, Honda NSX, I looked at them a few years ago when decent ones were around the 12-13k mark and at a push I could've just about afforded it. Sadly I made the decision to not skint myself out to that degree and bought a new Civic Type R for 10k instead
The Civic was fun but as it turns out the NSX would have at very least paid for itself given the values they're at now. DanielSan said:

Cool, I've just bought another car I've always wanted but thought I'd never own, (R53 Mini Cooper S) so looks like the S2000 will be next. I went out in a mates a few months back as a passenger and it was fun, it's the 2 seater thing that's holding me back I think, although, I don't have a wife and kids to worry about so shouldn't be a problem!

Same here but I've actually been to see one and had it on the list for the last 5 cars. It's just never happened as I always find something wrong with it. This time is was too cramped and noisy on the motorway.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
