Going with your head and not your heart. :(

There are times where you got too go with your head and not your heart something I'm not used too doing at all.

I am indeed and there's a reason behind my madness.

For years I've spent on cars and projects over the years.
I've built my savings slowly but its never really gone very high.

I was thinking about it for the last few weeks but my heart overided everything.

There things that are inportant too me that i want too able too save up for instants mortgage house etc.

But I'll never do that if I keep ploughing and plunging more and more into something all the time.

I love cars I love working on them I find it fun and enjoyable but I realise that's its becoming more of a passion money pit that I've fallen into and its been on going for years.

I want too reach my target but I just can't reach it and I know why I keep doing the same thing and now i want too take a break from motors for a while just too build up slowly and finally reach my savings target and both cars sold will help towards that.

I've taken the rover off ebay been offered some extra during the day straight after my regular job so going too keep it a while longer but if I did sell I'd rather it go too a club member then anyone.

I would let it go for £450 once my jobs have been completed.
With spares thrown in as well.

I can completely relate to this.

I have a job I enjoy but I don't earn massive money.

After bills, shopping and mortgage there's a couple hundred quid left over at the end of every month which the head says 'Stick it in your savings'.

But at the end of the day I'm a car lover, it's a hobby and a passion of mine and there's always that one job you want to do that eats up the money you had left over.

Luckily mine aren't costing too much to run lately. An oil and filter service every 6 months and the cost of the MOT, tax and insurance I can live with.

But I've got a baby on the way now and there comes a time you have to really think hard about whether you really need that panel resprayed because it lets the car down, or whether I really need those stainless steel bolts for the bumpers.

There are more important things at the end of the day but cars do strange things to us - and people say they are just things!
