Haha great photo! Yeah always said I’d get something down the line in keeping with the old man. He was proper hands on with cars and it’s a shame I never reached now and had time to learn more. Gf has said I’m allowed something stupid at some point so maybe time to buy something silly. I’ve never actually owned a car since.

it is a shithouse feeling. i ended up with my brother's car when he died and i spent a lot of good times fucking around in that with my pals. i saved a fair bit of cash (for a 20yo!) to restore it properly, but i wanted to come here for 6 months first.
that car sat in the garage for about 10 years, until my folks had to move and it there was no way i could afford to renovate it or ship it here.
now, i have the ability to and i am kicking myself, but then i probably wouldn't use it as much as the cars i have/had since, so i have to write it off...
there's about three cars that i've had that i would love to have a perfect example of now, but it would just be an ownership thing, rather than any other performance/practical/collectible thing.
you could always just get somehting you like and have a little nod to your old man when you use it. i recommend a detomaso pantera
