Are you "attached" to your car?

neil-ste · 24 Nov 2007 at 23:55

Integra? Nah not reall, I lke the car but like Jez said, if it was nicked i'd buy another.

Mondeo? Yeah i'm attached to it, a beaten up peice of crap Mondeo that looks like it's former keeper lived in Bosnia. It cost me £50 and has taken me all over the country without flickering once. I like it because I can do literally anythign to it. Bizarre.

Is yours a nail or ready for replacement or something? It's not easy to go out and buy a mint DC2 at the right price these days.

It's a 1.6, I thoguht you were the font of all car knowledge? They never even sold a 1.5 version in the UK, or Japan for that matter.

Anyway, yes Mirage's are rare, especially when you will accept nothing other than Pyrenees Black.

edit - upon searching, there is only 1 for sale in the country on the trader, and that one is boyed up with tints, wolfrace wheels and big exhaust :/ I want standard.

Yes im very much attached to my car, ive just spent way way too much money on repairing it (~£1.5k, and its 15 years old). Pride n joy and all that...

Even though I take care of my cars meticulously (despite being worth peanuts) and I am a sentimental person, I've never really felt sad when selling or or scrapping a car. Don't know why but I suspect its better that way!

Muncher · 25 Nov 2007 at 00:11

Yes, I'm attached to it, I've invested so much time, effort and money in it - it would be hard NOT to be attached to it.

That'll explain why it got so much interest at the rolling road!

Roffle, Fox just got his ass handed.

Shimmy · 25 Nov 2007 at 00:16

Attached? Not at all if I'm being honest, just ticks all the boxes for me atm.

Maybe when I'm older and can get cheaper insurance, I'll be able to get something 'special' that I can grow fond of.

I was certain they made a 1.5 Turbo Colt many years ago.

I believe they actually make a 1.5 with the current model.

i wouldent accept anything else either, 1.6 black colt mirages are such objects of beauty and engineering prowess.

they did, but seeing as that isn't the generation I have, it's irrelevant.

West · 25 Nov 2007 at 00:22

I absolutley adore my car, a lot of people do feel the need to take the micheal.. ok its a Mini One, but so what? its bright blue and the stripes arent from the dealer.. So what? I love it to peices and still puts a smile on my face when I turn round to lock it, and every time I get in it.
