Smile Oops, I did it again!!!

Well I bought yet another car today, it's a 1997 fairlane, white with leather interior, 6 cylinder on gas for $200. The owner handed the plates in today, so it's unregistered. The only real problem is that it needs con rod bearings as it wasn't well maintained. Now I have an nc fairlane, EF wagon, au falcon, turbo Capri, turbo v6 929 Mazda and a Nissan NX coupe and now this one oh and the missus has her non turbo Capri convertible. Do you think I have too many cars? I also have a 16 foot ski boat, yamaha tri z 250 Honda ATF 110 and yamaha fzr1000. I hate being a mechanic lol!!!

Nah, $200-$500 are my specialty. But thanks for the offer. I also have access to about 20 LPG tanks up to 120 liters for free.

Sounds like the Castle. "You better move that fairlane so I can get to the turbo capri mate." "OK but first I gotta move the EF wagon, au falcon, turbo v6 929 Mazda and the Nissan NX coupe if you wanna get to the turbo capri."

Nah just joking, well done mate and it's healthy to have a passion for something.

Ypu can never have too many. I'd have 5 cars if possible but the cars I want range between 5k and 40k. So yeah 2 at the most i guess for me.

Me to.

I like to save cars to, but if i brought every car i liked the place would be full. so i came up with the idea that i should at least be a collectable.

I know how it goes, "alright car, good for spares or what ever, and cheap as chips, i'll buy it. they sort like rabbits. first ther,s one and then, where the **** did all these cars come from.

Yeah, being a mechanic and knowing the area manager for Repco helps. I don't make huge dollars but it's enough.
