Why am i putting myself through this again.
Bought 2 beige coupes yesterday ,one a complete car with decent parts but the shell needs work and one really decent shell.
Plan is to reshell the complete car into the better shell with the not so good shell being saved at a later date .

I have scrapped a few years ago that were fixable i have to admit.I regret it now that's for sure.
The "bad shell" ain't that bad tbh but just easier to swap everything over into the other shell time wise.

it's definitely a sickness, i've never spent so much on any other car i've owned.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
getting oral sex off an ugly person is like rock climbing.....don't look down ;)

It's definitely an illness as the sooner the doctors realizes this the better. Maybe my wife will be more understanding then haha.

Thankfully I am getting too old now to go to town on stuff like I used to, it`s not the mind but the body say`s sit down fool !!!!
I have two Titanium hips , both very good and they are going to stay that way but Mr Arther is kicking in on most other bit`s so I`m getting close to saying no more fooling around with cars.
Let`s see what another year brings yeah ?
Mine will not be in the same class as sooooooo many on the zone but I never bought it for that, just a good bit of fun.

It is a bug! I can think of worse ways of spending money though! I'd love to have that space to store work on cars too.
