Have you ever had to sell your pride and joy?
So now i've hit the ripe old age of 30years old, it has suddenly dawned upon me that i need to sell my beloved Rx7. I don't 'have' to sell it, but there has been quite a few things on my mind encompassing 'life' and such. I've had the car for 6 years now, and out of all those years, i've probably drove it for just 3 years solid. The rest of the time it's sat on the driveway gathering dust.
To get it to the standard that i wanted it to be at, i would need to spend around £1.5k to make it a perfect example again. I wanted to turn it into a non road legal track car, but that would involve a further £3-4k.
That would include...
A car trailer to tow it to events
A car to tow it with
Professionally fitted roll cage
Harnesses
Seats
Suit
Helmet
Fire extinguisher system
suspension and brake modifications
More power (bigger injectors, fuel pump singe turbo etc etc.
I'm absolutley heartbroken that it's had to come to this. I've just got too many other things to spend money on and i find it pretty depressing that my pipe dream has failed to materialise.
The main reason for this thread is a bit of a vent really. It's time to grow up and find other things to occupy my mind.
Has anyone else had big plans only for them to gradually collapse , sink and die? How did you cope with it all? and do you regret it, or was it for the better?
I know some of you may think i'm just being daft. This is just one little thing that's on my mind right now, but i would rather not say what they are right now
On the bright side, ive got plans
A nice fast bike and something like fox's beemer sounds good.
