Am I crazy?

A little background.

I have been a car nut ever since I can remember. Always wanted a nice car and when I first got a job, saved up a little and went and bought a Nissan 350Z. Did I love it? Oh yes! Big torquey V6, lovely noise and fantastic chassis. That lasted 2 years.

I then looked hard at what to replace it with. Remember being offered an unregistered M3 CSL for 32 K ish and turning it down. Drove a 996 GT3 and that was it. I was in love again! Spent about 6 months looking for one and getting several PPIs before finally buying one. That lasted 2 years.

Then bought my first Lotus. Got one of the JP 240 bhp specials but was a bit underwhelmed. That one lasted a few weeks and then decided on another one. Went out and tried a NA Exige with some lightweight bits and was in love again.

This one is special. It’s got loads of “right” stuff, is light and goes like shit off a shovel. Really. I absolutely love driving it and on track it is absolutely phenomenal. Maybe my driving has gotten better too. Maybe. However, I keep having impure thoughts. Thoughts of selling it. I don’t use it much (about 2000 miles since last November) and store it in a garage close by. But then I drive it and all is well in the world. :smiley:

It does not owe me any money (?) but the sensible part of me keeps asking whether I should keep it if I’m not really using it. :frowning: I know if I got rid it would cost me atleast 3 - 5 K on top of a basic NA to get where I am.

I’ve got a regular, boring, commuter car which is cheap cheap and does the job. I try and use the Exige when I can but it is just so impractical on a daily basis and I hate public car parks and the scrapes one can pick up.

What’s wrong with me? What should I do? Am I just getting old and need to only have a crap car for a couple of years and all will fix itself? Do I need to have my head examined?

If I was ever in any doubt of my car, and I was a bit cus even sometimes risky fast road driving gets monotonous, yesterday at donny sorted my doubts out, love the car more than ever cus it does both road and track and a lil off road to get to the track :wink: and touch wood has never let me down

I think time for some track action to get the love back :wink:

[quote=M7EXG]Should’ve bought a S1 :smiley:

I got a bit bored of mine last year after more than 8yrs,so I took it off the road in September and don’t plan to use it again before April next year,by which time I will love it again and as a bonus it will have appreciated a little. :sunglasses:

I have this old toy to play with in the meantime,which i’m loving for now :smiley:
