Don't get me wrong, there's been times I'm like f*ck this, I'm just going to get a 208 GTi or whatever, stop fannying around with old cars and enjoy a quick, modern, respectable car that people go "oh fair enough, he's got a nice car"...
But then I get in it, go "oooh shiny" and 30 seconds down the road I'm going "Hmm, my OMP Corsica would be nice on here..." etc etc... In a weeks time it's "Oh god 200hp is boring, strap on a BW EFR boys and lets see what the standard engine will take" ETC....
I'm never going to have a "nice respectable daily" - I've come to find that no matter what I do, I'm going to want to modify it, change things... This is why I don't yet have a car with an ECU, because it'll never work, as it'll be on my bench in bits with me reflashing it...
If you can happily drive round a car with no modifications, just leave it alone and enjoy it for what it is, fair enough, you've got more restraint than me!!!!
