Losing interest in cars :(

[_Mac_]

Car meets are full of scrotes doing donuts far too close to other cars and onlookers,

New car releases are all rebadges clones of each other,

The local McDs is now hosting the "credit card" championship with everything bought not built,

Even F1... Don't get me started.



So the lad and I went to our first banger meet - BLOODY LOVED IT

Should have done it sooner

I hardly go to meets, only going to meets that don't have boyracers (Ok, some might classify us all as boyracers) where dangerous stuff is going on.

As for cars in general, it's about driving. I'd rather have an empty country road with a shed than a clogged up city street with a supercar.

Maybe that's my problem. I'm an engineer at heart (a crap one, granted) but I always loved seeing what others had done in the garage - maybe jerry-rigged a bigger turbo onto their Starlet or DIY'ed a 4-1 exhaust manifold from tubes bought off eBay. That just doesn't seem to happen anymore.

I should buy a car to drive and not fix up - maybe the spark will return again

Thanks all,
I think I hit a bit of a rut in the last few weeks and need somewhere to "unwind". I've got the project up for sale so that should go in the next week or so - then onto a more mundane "sports" car fitting of my mid-life status and not trying to build a hot-rod/track slag/drifter like I would like to have done 15yrs ago.

Then I can use it to drive off the beaten path and find all those country lanes and B roads I generally avoid in the family-wagon!
