I want to be like that as well when I can drive, no chance in hell I'd pay someone £200 to do something I could do myself for £20 or something.

My uncles are like this with their cars, too scared to get their hands dirty, they even pay someone else to take their cars for their MOTs. -_-

Balls of Steel version was £40 on PC vs £65 on consoles and is now completely sold out everywhere. ;_; Half tempted to keep it sealed when it arrives and order the standard version on 360 to play.

He had a heart attack 2 years ago, suffers from angina and bad asthma.

Not helped by his constant smoking....

When I had the PT Cruiser, I took it to the dealership for a tuneup because I'd been busy and didn't have time to do it myself. After paying them $350 to put new plugs and wires on it, I swore I would never do that again.

I could have bought 4 plugs for 88 cents each, and the wires for $15. :rolleyes:

I had to pay $340 to get my right side mirror replaced.

If I had ordered the mirror online, it would have been $34.

My grandfather is in his late 60s and does drag racing on weekends. He retired several years ago, but it was boring as fuck so he went back. Of course, he also does all the work on the car himself.

Indeed. I wouldn't have bothered getting it fixed personally, but mummy dearest needed to borrow the car to bus people back and forth from the airport the very next day.

:<3: Not interested in drag racing per-se, but I'd certainly not turn my nose up at watching him race.

I wish my parents were interested in cars, my mam just doesn't give a shit. My dad is very handy with repairing things, but has no interest in cars, he can fix push bikes though. :wacko:

I recommend you track down a model kit called "The Visible V8". It's a model of a V8 engine that you build yourself, like a model car. It has every part a real V8 engine has in it, and will teach you about how it works.

I posted it awhile ago, but may as well since it was before the rollback.

The Maverick is him (left lane).

My dad's into cars as well, but hasn't really had the time or space to do much in the past few years. He's got a basket case '68 GTO with all the original parts and a running '67 Impala in his garage, but it's supposed to be a single-car garage. So yeah, no room to work on it.

EDIT: Not sure on the years there, but I know they're both late 60s, and one is a year later than the other.

I approve of this, although I'm generally not interested in American muscle cars. I prefer rally cars if anything.

I'd love to one day own a 205 GTI, Ford Sierra Cosworth or Escort XR3.

I know XR3 must make a huge difference, but over here Escorts are teenage girl and/or mommy cars :lol

Actually I was thinking Cosworth Escort.

There are a lot of these around, but they're not Cosworth. They're probably MOT failures being driven illegally. :wacko:

Really? Up here escorts are 40 year old women who look about 60 with saggy tits smoking through holes in their throats asking if you want a good time.

They generally charge 20 for a hummer.

What's a hummer? When you stick it in the hole in their throat?

Yeah, but my dick always gets cold unless they happen to be wearing a scarf.

Of unless I have my hands around their neck, but they generally look down on that.

No, that's usually either a wheezy (where you go down) or a tonsiljob (if you go up).

That costs 30.

I'm really interested in 70's and 80's cars, but thinking about it realistically they aren't worth owning since the parts have to be bought from enthusiasts/aren't being made any more/shit tons more expensive. :(

The Ford Capri is from the 70s era and the Sierra is 80s - 90s.

I'm really interested in Fords it seems. o_o

For my first car I want to try and get a SEAT Leon or Ibiza, preferably a Leon.

I was big on Fords when I was into building up cars. My favorite was a 1976 Ford Grand Torino Elite. Had a 351 Windsor, all leather, all power accessories. Drove like a dream. I put headers and custom exhaust on it, and had ET Slot wheels...14x6 on the front and 15x10 on the back with L60-15 tires. I lifted the rear about 7 inches with hijacker shocks. Tricked that shit out.

Yeah, no interest in modifying cars. I've no intention of being a boy racer.

I want to drive cars fast, but in a controlled environment where only my own life would be at risk. I so want to drive around tracks. :(

Don't want to draw attention to myself, if I want my car to sound fast I'll buy a powerful car. Not slap and exhaust and new airfilter on an old Corsa. :wacko:

I want to have the power to back up the noise. :wacko:
