Sorry guys, we’ve gone off topic and off road, lol! “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

Does it really matter to anyone but the self appointed fun police?

In order to satisfy the afore mentioned, I bought this whilst slightly incapacitated.


 BMW i3 Electric Car
2012 Full Fat RR 4.4 TDV8 (now gone)
2006 VW Touareg 3.0 TDi V6

Well that's ermmm something that I think id find hard too justify in buying although have too admit my search history is becoming longer with looking at ribs lately because apparently I need another project too not complete on top of the subaru impreza, transit van and vauxhall astra.....

I know its not massively expensive but I've just bought myself a welding trolley as well so hopefully that will make life a bit easier moving it around

I'm very much surprised how all of you can afford these expensive drunk purchases considering we all own fatties that drain our wallets quicker than what the wife does

And seeing what a lot of you buy while intoxicated, I feel somewhat rather poor

In my case mate a big thing is not having the car on finance or anything like that I guess and also being single so no woman to empty my bank account. Already had the shebeast do that so not for me any more

Awwwww, that made me sad, but probs you have a lot less debt than some on here?

I’m sure one of the nice chaps concerned will pop a couple of tea-chests of used fivers in the post to you soon….  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

Okay, time to own up. Unexpected purchase…

One of those “seemed like a good idea at the time” buys.

Brian James RT4 trailer. Complete with alloys, LED lights and hydraulic / electric winch.

Ps. I still get grief from SWMBO.

Horses? Or burger van?
Or just because it matches?  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

Thing is, with any quality trailer such as Brian James, Ifor Williams & suchlike if you don't pay over the odds & look after it you will always get your money back.

Sam

Absolutely. Bought my ifor williams ct177 car transporter for £1800 of a friend as it had a bit of damage. Going by prices that's still an easy £2.5k if I needed too sell it quick

Maybe we should start a “Drunken Selling” thread  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

Gremlin - You lot ar so cheekie! Burger van indeed

But you are right. I have been offered more money for it second hand. Nuts!

Ps. A pre-COVID purchase that has completed 2 trips from home to Silverstone. A grand total of 88-miles. Then stored in hangar….it has been detailed and GTechniq coated during covid boredom… Current: L322 2011 Zermatt Silver TDV8 Vogue SE, MB GLB AMG35, Renault Clio R200 Cup
Previous: Audi RS4 Avant Nogaro, Audit TT Sline, BMW M3 E92, BMW Z4 3.0i SMG, Macan GTS, Boxster S 986, Touareg V6 TDI

@Hanwellfields:

No offence meant sorry, I’m noted for a very cheeky sense of humour, but after all, laughter is the perfumed massage oil that lubricates the tired creaky old wheels of life, and makes us all feel better for but a moment.

Don’t take me too seriously, I just love to poke fun a little bit now & then, and help others as much as possible.
Anyway, I’d be proud to have one of your burgers from your fabulous trailer, should you ever fall on hard times, and be forced to press it into such a function. Oooh, I can imagine it now, with Gold scrolly writing along the side: “ Belgravia Burgers”

P.S. Don’t ever loan me it, bound to come back smelling of chips!  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?
