Letting go of one of our major assets currently.
Got into a chat with a friend who insists now I can get the sports car I always wanted.
I have had one or two, now and back then..
Thing is I have absolutely no interest. I have zero interest in 'fast' cars, and even less in 'low' cars.
Day to day bimbling is carried out at leisurely pace in an old, if mint, Subaru Forester or Transit.
I really want for nothing else, no matter how easily it could be afforded.
This is not something I would have expected from me at 18, at which time I swore I was going to have a Lambo Countach by thirty!
I am 46 years old and all I want is safe, secure all purpose machinery.
Most I might stretch to is a more modern G Wagen than I could last get hold of.
The wife, despite her lesser years, has swapped her mental fast modern Beemer, via a new 'Mini' that we shall not talk about, to a forty year old Beemer! She is much happier with it, and how cute it is.
Seems we are going against the grain.
I am currently looking for an old Bedford or similar truck to remove our goods from London, rather than the more practical solution of a modern removals lorry or horsebox.
I just fancy driving something with some history, and would rather two trips in that than one in something 'modern'. Couldn't care less about paying £200 a day LEZ for the privilege.
Anyone else find the older they get the less they care about the things they once dreamt of?
