Ok I'm browsing on the phone atm so I'll reply to the longer posts when I'm on the pc....however jonny, yours really made me think.
Yes your car is just a side interest, if that's the right way to put it, cos iirc you've got a wife, kids, dogs, mates etc, various good things to fill your life with. And I expect most on here are the same. I'm not....cars really are my life, as sad as that may sound to most of you.
When I do go out, its more for the drive than actually going anywhere, I don't really like being anywhere, except in the car....I drove a 40 mile round trip to the seaside last week.....took a lonely 5 minute walk along the beach and then drove round some more lol.
And the nad basically proved to me how much difference a 'nice' car makes. I was only going out for completely necessary journeys in the one oh shit because it was/is awful, and taking it to meets and shows was just depressing so I stopped that too. [/b] the 106 actually made some of my problems worse because I didn't go out much at all, compred with going out every day, mostly just for the drive in the others... :/
So I'm trying to make sure I don't buy something else shit....plus I have to think practically, the 106 wasn't big enough for me, and the trailer wasn't suitable with stuff in it due to the car being too light. I also have to think about taking my nan out and she struggled with the 106.
Also, with the job thing, I do still earn money, despite not having a proper job, and I will not sponge by going on jsa either if that's what you're thinking.
