Thanks mate!
I understand what Andy's going through though, Mrs G won't get in my car and she's always dropping hint's about me selling
it.
But I ignore her.
I think you'll find that as a general rule, it's best not to listen.

In one ear and out the other

Thank you for your kind support Ned

Time for a more supportive post.
If Donut really really cared about driving a 7 I'm sure there would have been a lot more discussion with his missus. But from my reading of his
posts over the months and years I got the impression he was far more interested in the build, the community here and maybe the idea of driving a
twitchy uncomfortable pure sportscar.
So the real questions should be "what are you going to build next?" rather than criticism and macho chest beating (which is rather sad
IMO).
So Cobra, Mini, American Muscle car, or something really safe, with room for a huge V8, and capable of going fast over insanely rough roads like a
Tomcat? (Linky)

You're not a million miles away there actually. I mean let's face it, the chances of keeping it for more than 6 months was slim
BUT!!! i wasn't planning on selling it quite so soon!!!
So to the new motor....
Well it has to be a 4 seater. I would dearly love a Rover or Chevy/Ford V8 but at the moment it's hard to find anything that floats my boat. It
has to be a classic car too!!
I love old Fords and would like a Mk1 or Mk2 Cortina. There is a V6 Essex engined (Rebuilt with receipts) restored Mk2 Cortina in the Classic Ford
Mag this month that looks nice and i'm just waiting for pics.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

The aussies fitted small block v8's to Mk3 Cortinas, and then there's the South African XR8, a small block Ford in a Sierra. Real wolves
in sheep's...
Cheers,

<---- look over to your left; how about a series 2a lightweight tax exempt, screaming for a 4.6 rover v8 to go in it. No worries about anyone
pulling out in front, in fact, even white van man cower out of the way - take it for a nice trundle offroad and open your eyes to a totally new
experience (and I 'm not referring about the pools of ep90, engine oil, being on first name terms with the AA man, scrimping pennies for the
petrol )
PS I respect your descision and think you made the right one although it must be very hard.

Everyone to their own!!!
That's a big decison to take. I drove a TVR for several years until I stuck it into a bridge.
Had I been in the 7 it wouldn't have happened. I thnik the reality is that a seven is safer and less likely to get you into trouble but is more
likely to get you caught up in someone elses trouble.
For me, I bought my 7 while I still had a broken back. After a fairly serious, and almost fatal, crash I felt I needed something to look forward
to.
If safety is your issue, an old car is likely to be more dangerous as it will be less nimble and will still lack modern safety devices.
Summer's here!!!!

My worst accident was in a VW van doing 45mph up a deserted M11 at 2:30am. The van rolled when it was hit up the rear by the only other car on the
road!
I knew someone else who ended up in a wheel chair, not from crashing his 170mph Kawasaki, but from falling over after slipping on an empty beer bottle
as he got out of bed!
You can't live in fear of what might happen, you just have to take life by the balls and enjoy it. So keep the car!
Cheers
Jon
