antz, come out of the closet!!! admit it! you'll never be happy until you.............own 5 cars!!!! if you can't afford 5, then you must change your job/lifestyle or something or you will be eternally frustrated!!!!

[Retro-gone.]

what your all overlooking here is the fact that antz is still young therefore shouldnt he have the experience we all had with cars?

would be a shame to sell the escy tho, id be sellin that volvo an buyin a tax free classic to use as an everyday car.

man i just the spec on your escort, em WHY you want to get rid of it

*scratching head now*

 

 

thats the spec of the new 1700. at the moment the engine is just many boxes of bits in my dads mates workshop.

 

 

the suspension and everything else is on the car another problem is ive had 62bhp for 3 years now and im fed up of going slow. i have the urge for more power and even though i have a new engien on the way i cant have that power now and its very frustrating.the 1300 doesnt give me that thrill anymore whe i drive it. its boring when i floor it and all i get is noise, no actual acceleration

 

i am only 19 and the escort is my first car. i do love it and know id regret selling it but i just wanna test the waters and try other things so to speak. everyone else in my family is jap car mad and i sorta feel like im been pulled to that side.

 

i am contemplating selling the volvo but i have a serious dislike to rust and i dont wanna buy another car for it to rust cos i cant stand a rusty car. plus i dont wanna be spending money ona daily driver when i could spend it on my toy car. hence i like the volvo cos it doesnt rust and costs me nothign to fix....(volvos never do for some reason) which is ideal for me....but i actually only own 50% of the car cos its a partnership car with my dad involved.

 

i might look into getting a 740 turbo just gotta convince my dad and find one i like....plus i have a budget of virtually nothing.

 

so many choices, so many paths to take, and i know id regret one really badly but i cant help but think about it

Shove the escy in the garage and forget about it for abit,by your jap thing have your fun and then get rid.That way you can drag the escort out and have a play,i garantee you will be glad you kept it

 

Afew car's i wish i'd kept over the year's and i know we cant keep'em all,but just a couple held a special place with me and they now gone forever

 

I still own my very first car (blue mk2 2dr).Been off road since 2001 and in more bit's then i can shake a stick at but it's still mine and allways will be,or at least untill my son is old enough to inheirit it.

[antz]

i cant afford a jap thing without selling the escort then again i would never get my money back on the escort cos obviously it has 4 doors and they are worth less. plus this new engine has set me back engouh

 

 

fook it i think ill keep the escort and see what the future holds.

 

i cant realy afford another and the volvo is worth more scrap value then re-sale

Antz, don't drive the Escort for 2 weeks, then take it out for a blast, you'll get that stupid split melon grin as soon as you start rolling, fall in love with it again and wonder why you wanted to sell it. I went Japanese by accident and have this Honda

 

 

as my spare classic? car, it is a show winner and totally reliable and completely soulless, but the wife won't let me sell it, that's why I'm rebuilding the mk1

i didnt drive the escort for a month and i missed it. driving my volvo is boring...sooo boring.

[5hane]

psst.. you want to upgrade ur volvo to a 340 m8

 

 

cut the springs.. stripp it out.. weald the diff.. fit some 40's = winner

 

 

[tim]

drop a 4age engine in2 the 4door

[antz]

drop a 4age engine in2 the 4door

 

i did think about that tim but i already have a 1700 xflow in bits ready to be built up

 

i guess my problem is im just bored of the 1300 and i dont get much recognition at shows nd stuff...plus im a sucker for attention ...LOOK AT ME IM AN ATTENTION WHORE

 

 

ill wait it out til the new engine is in and then ill see what happens

[5hane]

paint a pink stripe over it

 

 

that will get you attention
