So at the start of the year the MRS and i had three cars. my VY Clubsport (modified), GQ patrol and her ford laser. We decided that it was stupid to have three cars and sold the VY clubby and the laser and got a FG XR6 turbo for her to use as a daily and for our long drives to Melbourne. I instantly missed the clubby, the sound of the V8 and the manual trans. I thought the FG turbo would fill the void but it really didn't, don't get me wrong i love the turbo but i feel it is missing character. I don't find it "fun" to drive even though it has been tuned to 290rwkw.
Now i am thinking of selling the FG and the GQ to get back into a manual V8. I would need to buy the MRS a new buzz box and then get myself a BF XR8 or something around the 15-20 grand mark. The only thing is that i have spent upwards of $10,000 on the GQ, it is finally how i want it, I love 4x4ing. I just feel i can't justify it anymore as we are not using it a lot. Oh and i am a ford fan, had a BA XR8 before the clubby, the clubby was just an amzing car for the money back when i bought it. So my question is, what would you do? Three cars is out of the question, we live in an apartment and already rent a parking space for the falcon. Am i being crazy for even considering this? |
