Started with no car, bought the infamous 318iS with balloons on each corner, as yet, not been too bad really. 2010 isn't done yet mind.
Was using my Rover 220 GSI, modded this a bit and used it until April time, then sold it.
At the OcUK MM.
Bought the Citroen Xsara VTS with Rotrex Supercharger..
Modded this a little, took it on track at Cadwell.
Sold 90% of it to a friend for his track car.
Bought this bargain Peugeot 306 Rallye in Oct, had it on the road at the end of Nov.

To sum 2010 in a driving year I have owned 4 cars none of them have been crashed and no points on my licence!
First car Vauxhall astra 1.6 club that had gone pink, bought it for £600 wetsanded and polished it gave it a good clean and service sold it for £1500! Owned 2 months
Second car peugeot 306 2L HDI, bought this car for £1500 remapped it and started to mess about with little things on it again machine polished it and sold 4 months later for £1500.
Third car citeron saxo 1.6VTR by far the most fun car at throwing around some backlanes and was quite nippy. Got bored of things falling of being crappy build quaility. bought for £1800 sold for £1500 and spent £500 so made a big loss on that car!
Forth car is e46 bmw 323, I love this car it's by far the best to drive and nice engine sounds good aswell! But I find it doesnt set me on fire. I often consider changing to something a bit more hot hatch, clio, megan, cupra R, etc. I will end the year with the bmw and so far the only cost is a service but it needs tax and mot come feb. I may well of changed by then but I also have a private plate now so costs £80 each time I fancy a change!

Not really don't mind to much I am going to stick with the bmw for a while now. I get bored with cars quickly. I am sure one day I will find a car I will want to keep.

I still can't believe I haven't seen you out and about...
For me, another year without a TVR... another year wasted!

Missus put the 106 in a ditch.
Ouch, how did they get out of that?
To sum you and this process up in one word.
*******
pretty much
i simply aint driving it, rather sell it on to someone who will be using it as it should be. its the right decision.
Another uneventful year motoring for me.
Serviced it in Jan. (No worries)
Snapped a front spring in March so replaced both springs and shocks (they were on their way out anyway).
Taxed it in June.
MOT'd in Aug. (No worries)
Insured it in Sept. (Bloody went up £125 for no reason)
Don't do enough miles to warrent a change of car. Saving for other things but I'll be in some big, comfy and german this time next year.
