losing it.

[Rick]

really lost interest in my car the last few weeks im thinking of selling it after the cf show.

 

gonna get it finished and have some fun in it first.

 

i think id rather have the money and enjoy it, it will pay for a damn good holiday for me and the misus.

 

i love the car and have put about a thousand hours work into it, my dad as much again (not sure hel be to keen on the idea of me selling it though)

 

iv learned so much from doing it and dont regret it at all despite the stress it has caused at times

 

not sure what to ask for it in terms of price though. maybe il get some offers at CF show

[Tom]

noooooooooooo don't do it. A holiday is over before you know it. A classic ford is for life. I know what you mean tho, i've gone through patchs of disinterest with my cars. Glad i never sold them tho

On the day your holiday finishes and you're on the plane flying home to a cold wet England, you'll think 'Why the f**k did I do that'....

[dragaddict]

[Durham Fiesta]

if you sell it you'll only end up starting a new project in a few months and wishing you hadn't sold the orange one

[DeanMk1Capri]

For a holiday Don't think that would be a good idea m8

[Noodles]

No dont do it please stop

[markrsi]

no way mate ....

[emu]

It'd have to be a bloody good holiday to make it worth flogging the car

[Rick]

aghhhh damn you...

 

its just things like im gonna be worrying everytime i leave it, insurance seems overpriced and il be fixing it 6/12 months a year

[antz]

dont sell it....holiday or car....hmmm.....car

[surfingturnip]

DO NOT SELL IT! far too much of your time, effort and passion has gone into that car for you to just get rid of her. you'll never stop regretting it if you sell up

[Guest MK1gaz]

Your be fixing it everytime you drive it (well i do anyway) but that's part of the fun

[emu]

Tell you what, ill buy you a nice off-peak holiday to Butlins Bognor Regis and you give me the car in return. You get rid of the car and you get a holiday

i can see it it from that point of view im always saying 'dont sell it mate' and all that. maybe things will get better, im gonna drive it for a few months see how i feel then...

 

as far as making a profit goes... no chance haha it owes me approx 5k and id never get the thousands of hours back.

All i can say is the Holiday wont last forever but the car will and the car will always put a smile on your face

[Vista]

It's your car mate if you want to sell it, then sell it. If it wasn't for the fact that I already have two classics I'd probably be somewhere at the front of the queue to buy it (It is orange after all )

 

I suspect though that once you've spent the summer driving it and been involved in all the social scene and other things that come as part and parcel of OSF ownership, you'll decide that whilst you may not miss the metal you'll definitely miss the scene that comes with driving the metal.

 

Best of luck what ever you choose and don't sweat about it breaking down all the time. Mine's only let me down twice in 3 years and you've put plenty of time and effort into ensuring yours is done to a high standard. I'm sure once you've ironed the bugs out it'll serve you well.

[escortmad79]

Wait until it's running & MOT'ed & take it for a blast! Guarantee you won't want to sell it

 

Mine maybe a bog standard 1100 estate but it still turns heads & still makes me grin like a loon when I drive it
