OV9

My name is Chris and I have a problem. Quite a fun one, but it's getting a bit obsessive. Are we all like this, still, despite getting a bit older?

I am officially 'just saving' for a second car. But this has increased my searching the classifieds to a crazy extent. Still no idea what it is I actually want, my requirements seem to change like the weather.

Anyway. Here's a selection of what I've really liked in the last week to redefine the term eclectic:

Not keen on the larger wheels on this, but fear not, he has the original Speedlines. Was for sale in January. Why has it not sold the first time? Why is this important if I'm 'just saving '. I do not know. But I still watched the Jason Camissa video and imagined the bwarpy noises in the canyons.



After seeing this white G60, apparently I'm now holding out for a white VR6:

Anyway. Ignore all that, what I really wanted last week was a wedge TVR:

Apparently I think this is as dramatic as a Testarossa and that whale tail had me watching this sales video wondering if I could ever be as cool as a 1980s TVR test driver:



But then of course, what I really want is something to hillclimb. Enter stage left, these two:

But then why am I bothering with those normy cars when what you really want to do is upgrade from your previous fun car and get something more exciting than everything else here:

And, there's another heatwave due next year, who needs a windscreen?

Please can no-one offer any logic in reply, it appears that's not what I'm after.

I'm a massive fan of the Corrado, I think they look brilliant. It'd have to the VR6, though. Good ones seem to be expensive, so not sure what £8k actually gets you?

I like this green one, alas you'll need to fight it out at auction:

I have seen that one of course, but discounted it cos I think it'll be too expensive on the day! Fun facts, Steve Coogan's just bought one and Andy Wilman wants one. And my mate Ben is spamming me telling me I'm a fool for not buying one while they're cheap.

This one's just been listed, seems a good price. It's leggy, but condition is everything blah blah

Answers on a postcard as to why Pizza Hut owned it

I like the silly Westfield idea. And it’s in Glasgow - you can come for dinner again

I keep looking at this as a fun track car with BBR220 upgrade and different to anything else we have summer convertible, even though it is too good to be a track car, and I am not a fan of convertibles, and I wouldn’t want to tie up that money in either of the above desires and and and and.
