I find that actually doing anything isnt the problem, its motivating myself to start that's the issue. Once I start I'm fine but I find it harder and harder to make that start and that applies to things like DIY as well not just cars. |

I have owned my 1275 Sprite for 35 years, and a 1500 before that. It may sound odd, but relatively little of the driving of it was for pleasure, though I got a great deal of pleasure from driving it!

It's quite a hassle breaking a car for parts. I've done it before, though a long time ago. Disassembly is the easy bit, but you then have to do at least a modicum of cleaning, advert to write and display, and if you do get a buyer there is packaging and transport and spending time communicating it all. It adds up! |

I am not interested in even driving anymore. We are just back from visiting my daughters in Beaconsfield and the driving down there was atrocious. Speed limits appear to be the minimum rather than maximum and we were honked at or flashed several times for doing 43/44 in a 50 zone. The worst though was tailgating. Drivers want to have a duel with car in front. I lost count of the number of times a ... |

That was quite a good ending though Arie.

Only wondering, as the morbid thought that this kind of sad announcement might become more common. We ain't getting younger. |

Definitely the weather's a factor Willy. But finally spring has arrived -- for the next few days at any rate. Lol. So yeah, I've got a few things to do on the Sprite. New hinge on quarterlight, new roof. Mine's a mk4 Sprite, with the fixed folding frame. I was going to modify a roof frame to make it fully removable like mk3's. Probably won't now. I must finally renovate my mk1 frontline suspension... |

Sold my Midget years ago when motorsport got way too expensive. The final nail was when they banned open cars at my favourite hillclimb. No sense of adventure- sitting on their comfortable chairs in their toofy offices raking in our money. No fun in them at all.

Ive actually lost nearly all my classic car mojo in recent years. I sold the Mk1 Midget I spent 4 years of my life restoring after only using it for 2 years and my Sprite race car is for sale. Im almost at the point where for the first time in 25 years I wont have a classic car. Ive still got a few classic motorcycles though.
