tazzieman Posted 8July, 2014 Report Share Posted 8July, 2014 HR Holden with 202 and high comp head. the PO went straight out and blew the cash I gave him on a load of hash. He had a bad habit and couldn't afford the fuel for the triple webers. Nor even the Holley he put on to save money. Regret ahy? - just because it was my first car , used it as a surf hauler and also because now they are worth a bundle. But even though I sold it with a buggered motor and flaky paint, after 7 years I had made a profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvs11 Posted 8July, 2014 Report Share Posted 8July, 2014 Major regret entrusting my local panel shop to repaint my otherwise original HQ GTS coupe. They did such a bad job on the prep that it sprouted rust all over in just a few years. Decided to cut my losses and sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 8July, 2014 Report Share Posted 8July, 2014 I once went to buy an Alfa like that one - same colour and all. I got underneath and pressed the floor pan with my finger and it bent upwards while iron oxide flakes fell like confetti. I had never seen a car that badly rusted before, and never since, for that matter. I have no idea to this day what was holding it together.

Coastr Posted 8July, 2014 Report Share Posted 8July, 2014 I regret not buying that Japan Red E30 M3 for $8,000 when I had the chance. I still have the sale contract somewhere but couldn't raise the money - lender said it was too old and they don't lend on cars > 5 years old. Ironic.

StevepGT3 Posted 8July, 2014 Report Share Posted 8July, 2014 Weren't the cockpits a tight fit and the peddles built for people with size 2 feet? Actually a lot roomier on both counts than the 993 believe it or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-banger Posted 8July, 2014 Report Share Posted 8July, 2014 A regret? Sort of, but gradually getting over it as I get more used to the 993. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted 8July, 2014 Report Share Posted 8July, 2014 I've seen your picture wall, you had some cool cars! my regrets are my 450SEL and 280CE, I should've kept them in the shed and slowly worked on them. sorta glad I still have my beetle at least knocking back a real '74 Carrera coupe 10-12 or so years ago because I didn't want to pay $35k for it (I could've also had a '72 T for $21k lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzieman Posted 9July, 2014 Report Share Posted 9July, 2014 my regrets are my 450SEL and 280CE, I should've kept them in the shed and slowly worked on them. Plenty of cheap ones around; mind you the ones I've seen are shockers for rust. And the 450? Sluggish as , but a cool middle aged car. Have thought about a saloon to put aside for a son's wedding car down the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAFE Posted 9July, 2014 Report Share Posted 9July, 2014 had a near mint condition '59 FC Holden that i sold and I'm still not sure why. I moved states and couldn't bring it with me. I was 23, single and it had a factory lay-back bench seat God I loved that car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
