The problem is that at the point of aquisition they are Oh! so viable but a month later they start to become a burden. Dave |

Have you considered impregnating the wife again? Surely a new-born / young child will help eliminate whatever time you waste on your obsession? Works for me or rather that must be why I have not driven my car since Nov! On 5th Sep, 2011 Vegard said:

I have an obsession too, but a lack of money prevents full undertaking of this. My real problem normally involves ideas for projects or helping other people with theirs and letting them pay for it. Work helps with this, working on irreplaceable old f1 cars and the boss's american toys. However, i do one day want to build my rx8 engined lotus exige, a blown hemi powered 1929 chopped and channeled ford model a sedan, 1967 mustang fastback, 1969 camaro ss w/454 alloy big block crate motor, 1932 ford hiboy roadster, 1927 ford model a pickup rat rod and 1987/8 buick grand national/gnx and of course the blown k twinky motor for the min. So a lottery win should see most of it but will still be obsessed!! |

Three are currentlt roadworthy. Five of them are driveable, although two don't currently have screens in Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."
