Well, might aswell post some pics, picked up a runaround a few months back, volvo 340 1.7, quite fun car, absolutely mint, and for sale as ive got another daily driver now (see below) helped me move house and do countless trips to pick new stuff up for the new crib





And, the new daily, chevrolet blazer 4.3 fully spec'd with LPG and limited edition dead alternator as of today (ordered one from the states, 2-3 weeks wait )

The volvo looks like such fun, wish I could afford to buy it off of you. Wanna swap for a project mini?

fookin got enough projects aye!

volvo's staying for now, atleast til the blazers back on the road, just done a 300 mile round trip to santapod and back and its a qualitay motor, rear windows now sticker'd aswell, couldnt resist!

Blazers probably gonna end up off the road for a while so I can sort it properly, or for next winter when it snows want to get a clio williams engine on webers in the ovlov!

I pick weird cars cause there not boring, I could sell up all my cars and buy a brand new whatever, but I drive brand new cars enough, theyre fooking boring imho!

Total up the current estimated value of your current cars and we'll see what interesting 'new' or 'nearly' new car you could get with the monies.

S13 - £3k (wouldnt even consider selling it at that price though, owes me far, far more)
Blazer - £2k
340 - £750
Metro (would never sell, but ho hum) - £1k?
MGC GT (Over my dead body would I sell it) - £10k? (not sure really, as im gradually restoring it to concourse)
Bandit (selling it anyway, so throw this into the equation) - £3.5k minimum
FS1e (would'nt ever, ever sell it, but im up for the lolz - £2k minimum (its concourse )
TY175 (couldnt sell it, same as the fizz) £2k~

So that gives me £24k roughly, if I sold all the vehichles I owned at the moment... not bad...

Now, the fun part, find me a car that meets ALL these criterias

Fun to drive
4wd for the snow + shit weather (if I cant work, I cant pay the bills, simple!)
good on long trips
big enough to move house
good for commuting
fun to drive, yes ive said it twice, but I sell cars because they bore me, if it aint fun, i'll sell it!
good on fuel
quick
interesting
quirky
has character
not a boring shitbox that you'll see 30 of in one day (thats the hard one )
stupidly reliable, if I aint got a backup car, it has to be reliable

Its a difficult one, its why I own so many cars really, and chop and change so often... allows me to cover all the bases without the stupid expense of buying a new car!
