Car Details:Gone :(
Location:Scotland
Joking aside. I`m getting bored with cars. Seriously. I sold my little runaround and haven`t replaced it yet. I always look forward to car shopping but nothing interests me. To reinforce my worry I had a notion of a new 5th gen Camaro and toyed with selling my 4th gen a few weeks ago to add to the deposit but kinda lost interest.

I honestly reckon if I sold my Z28 I wouldn`t replace it. I`d buy some practical boring hack just to cut about in. Nothing floats my boat.

Is this a phase? :?

I would keep it and enjoy it until Sept 2014- fuel in Scotland will be far more expensive after then if we do go for independence

- at which point you may sell it in England (and pay the registration Fee)

Hopefully just a phase...

I think you need to maybe do more fun things involving the car, so you have stuff to look forward to, rather than just ownership.
I'm so much happier now I have things I do with the car, whether track day, or big trip, or just a late night drive on some good roads. I couldn't just be a polisher.cruiser owner.
I'm suprised after your french drive in the summer you feel a bit less interested, cos I'd have though that would be an encourager.. :crazy:


I used to really be into cars from my teens, and eventually got my Manta at 21, then Iroc Camaro, then Jag, then sort of got bored, bought a nearly new Honda Accord, took about 2 or 3 years before buying the current Camaro to really get back into cars again, then the VR4 lead to track days, and then Camaro track days etc..

Some fair points. Independence? Can`t see it. Most people where I live, including myself are pro UK. I am using the car now to commute on dry days and it does get attention and it IS good to drive but I`m still losing interest in cars full stop. I dunno. It`s too good a car to sit in a garage and too good a car to drive through the winter $hit and salt. I even thought the day about selling it and adding money and buying an Jeep SRT8 as a daily to get the best of both worlds.

I`m still undecided. I polished it last week drove it through town and it looked and sounded amazing. I could always mothball it for winter. Maybe I`m getting old. Turning into an old fart lol :lol:
