    Some of you may have noticed that I haven't been posting much lately.
    Been a bit busy being "daddy daycare" for the last month.
    In the mean time I bought an old beater car as we needed to be in two places at once.
    So I bought an '84 Ford laser 3 door 1100 cc, and it is a shitter, dont get me wrong.
    No power steering, no AC, no electric windows, no power etc etc
    Thing is I love driving it, given the choice between "Hotwheels", as the kids have named it, and the more modern Honda I reach for Hotwheels' keys every time.
    I don't know why, maybe 'cause you actually have to drive it, maybe cause I know I could fix 99% of the issues it will ever have with a coin and some foil paper.
    What ever the reasons I think they are pretty similar to the reasons I have a BFTP bike............
    Am I alone in this or am I mad?

    if i had the time and resources i'd love to do up an older car. the problem with me is that i cant stop improving things and with a car the expenses can get astronomical pretty fast. i had a 1980 ford escort station wagon, in light blue, and i loved it. it had mag wheels, 13inch!
    i thought the interior in brown didnt suit so i repainted all the linings red...

    I have a guy that wants to but my 97 Vtec accord and i will probably get reg and wof on my old 82 subaru ute. Ive got a 07 hilux for a work vehicle and hate the horrible thing, i had a 96 corolla wagon before and want it back, it just sits in the back yard at work, boss thinks i need the "Flash" show off ute instead. Only good thing about it is the stereo
