...and not a moment too soon. Now, there are a few things i better get everyone up to speed on. The first is the affair i have been having. Kinda. You see, there was another car in my life, outside of this blog. The Supra:
Now though she has been sold. Essentially i had most of my "car funds" tied up in her, and she wasnt getting used anywhere near as much as she should have been. 3 days after i got back from Kaz, a friendly Norwegian had arrived and gave me a load of money. So now we are down to 3 cars: MR2, Silvia and Passat for the daily stuff.
Not quite. Sadly over the course of the winter the wee MR2 has not faired so well. An avalanche, lack of antifreeze and a dodgy window wiper mechanism now means the wee classic is not in the best of health. As a result i have to get her fixed up fairly smartish because my better half actually uses it and needs it. With this being the potential to be a new head gasket if the antifreeze incident is the worst case, the garage will need to be used, and as a result this meant one sad but inevitable result.
The Silvia had to be scrapped.
As sad as this is, i cant say i feel a great deal of loss at this. Granted the car was a project and has now been abandoned, but to be fair the V8 was all that had been worked on, not the car. Since the V8 can remain i see no reason not to get the car scrapped and focus on the more pressing matters at hand, then resuming a slow burner project at a later point in time. Perhaps a Caterham V8?
Anyway, for those keeping count, thats 2 cars. But for how long you ask?? About 20 minutes before i found this:
