AA / CA ?

Capri

AA is Alcoholics Anoymous to some, Automobile Association to other. I'm going to form CA - Carholics Anoymous , dedicated to those who look at DD ad and say 'I can save that pile of rust once I get it home' :D
I'll be the founder member, have 8 yolks looking at me in the garden today - which one do I preserve and which to sell , and WHEN will I finish the house as well :D

Tell us what the 8 looking at you are and we can help you decide what deserves redemption.

Yep, we need to see the depth of your addiction before we can give helpful and meaningful advice (or not.............. )

Aaaah, I think it was when I wouldn't eat my Mother's apple pie if I hadn't first run my Dinky/Corgi over the top pastry before it was put in the oven (6 y.o. :eek: )
THEN, my English uncle used to bring me over The Observer's Book of Automobiles 1963 was my first one :rolleyes:

After that I bought my first car Austin A40 Cambridge RIK 789 I think , aged 10 for £7 from the garage beside me - 'His youngest customer' ...... to be continued when I got my Provisional on my 17th birthday .......

Didn't anybody notice something was wrong when your first choice of car was an Austin, the warning signs were there if only they had stopped you earlier ...........

Capri

Unfortunately, nobody can stop me, once I'm fired up I'm like a guided missile to my target . :p:p

When guided missiles arrive at the target it's usually a disaster zone very shortly afterwards.

A40 Cambridge. :eek: The warning signs were there right enough.

Hi Capri, I think I will qualify to join your club,with 5 W123, 3 W126, 2 ,190, & Porche 924, for good measure, definitely a worse addiction than drink, and I do like my pint too. Remember, the house will always will be there, when you get around to doing what needs to be done. Just enjoy your cars, if you have a bed to sleep in, why worry!!

Capri

My 'bed' is a Toyota Starlet recliner, dead comfy.:eek:
Pity about the weather in this poxy land, used to have a 6 car storage and 1 car workshop back in the day, now they're all outdoors. ( Covered a Country Squire with tarp one time but NOT a good idea ) MIGHT get building a bit of a 'carport' to at least keep the rain off - the weather this year HAS NOT been conducive to even T-cutting them - tho I'm luckier than most, IF the sun shines I can get out and do a bit, when it rains I just go to work :cool:
( Matt, had a bit of a 'water leak' inside the E, was ready to strip dash to replace header tank, but Merc forum advised me to unblock 2 EVAP drains on tranny tunnel, seems to have worked so far TG ) :)

I'm addicted to V8 powered Birmabright
