Sat here waiting to deliver in Coca Cola, Sidcup, and having a bit of a reminisce about the Black Beast, and got thinking..
Off the back of Glynn's Thread, i got thinking...
Do you regret modifying your car's at any time, when it comes to insurance, leaving it parked somewhere....
I dont have my C anymore as you all know, and there were times when i actually hated havng a highly modified car..
Example - If anyone has ever driven a car on coilover's, they will know they are bumpy as hell, well i took my C to Denmark not long before i sold it, and it was the most torrid journey i have ever done in a car, every bump, lump, stone, ant for 2000 miles we felt, and when i got there my ar*e was numb!!! I ot out of the car, and i genuinely hated it, it was uncomfortable, it was impractical, it was a pain in the ar*e!!!!
But....The Good Points..
On the same trip, i parked it in the harbour at Grena in Denmark and went for a walk looking at boats and stuff, and was gone a hour, when i came back, i couldnt see my car, i thouht it had been stolen!! There was a group of 15-20 people near where it was parked, and i have legged it over thinking it had been stolen, when i got there, there was my car in the centre of these people with everyone wondering what the hell it was... As you all know it had no badges on it, so there was nothing to the untrained eye to identify it!! These people were astounded t hear it was a Vectra!!!
At the point, every ounce of hatred, uncomfort, impacticality, and ar*e ache left me, and i was loving the attention it got!!! My Danish friend was actually translating questions for me as they were that taken by it!!! It was then i started thinking...
For all the downsides, Too Low, Too Uncomfortable, Too Impractical, scared to leave it anywhere, More insurance, More Police Attention, more of everything...
Do i actually regret modifying that car.....
DO I F*CK!!!!!!
And this is why......
However, ask me if i regret seling it, the answer could be so very very different...
Anyway, how about you lot, do you regret modifying your car's???
