Today I will be .....
« on: January 21, 2006, 09:58:12 »
Yesterday  M.O.T'd the V-max and put it on Ebay, today I will be cleaning my series out, changing the tyres onto the powder coated rims, giving it a new MOT and putting that up too.

I have to sell these two vehicles to fund the purchase of either a defender110 or a Disco ..... but I am not enjoying it.  Like everyone else, I have sold vehicles at different times and for differing reasons.  It just seems that as I get older I get more attached to some vehicles.  The pick-ups at work get bought and sold with no emotion, they are just workhorses and theres no attachment to them.  the wifes car is generally sold at 3 years and a new one bought, both actions done with no emotion.  

My own vehicles are more like family members, my boys love 'em, I love 'em and the wife even get a bit attached to some of 'em.

Is this an age thing?  Can I expect to get more possesive about vehicles as I get older?
