6months later, but again.. cheers!
Reading back through this makes it seem like I ignore the nice words/comments, but I notice! Maybe it's because I leave so long between replying.. between fresh updates.. whatever. Yep, I'll go with that...
Well.
Anyway.
Here it is.
Sometime right-about-now-ish is 10 years. Ten bloody years of AW11. A full decade with a car I've had since I was 18.
A nothing-number for many.. but for a young (..and that term is becoming less-suitable fast..) car-enthusiast, that's a serious damn commitment. SO many cars I'd have ab-so-bloody-lutely LOVED to own, but struggled to make room for in my life. I always had that 'rotational third spot' luckily, but Little Red has been locked into the
number one position. I just love it too much.. so damn attached to it.. the nostalgia.. and STILL (as mentioned SO many times in the past) have no intention to ever move it on..
That ridiculous attachment to this car means I spent an absolute fortune keeping a worn-out car on the road, but so what eh? It was no accident. Unemotional/un-attached car-owners would've WISELY moved it on for a better/younger example long before this point.. but no.. I couldn't.. so the decision (while foolish!) was very clearly made. Stupid, but I've got the same AW11 I've
always had,
right here. My red, sunroof, Aussie '87.
So ten years, ~120,000 limiter-bashing km, and a current odo of ~420,000km. Daily on-and-off, and always kept despite combined years of license-loss, injury, and defect-related cancelled reg. It
always bounced back.
Hopefully in the coming years it can relax a little more again.. ease into even more occasional use.. and I'll be able to stretch it out as-long-as-I-bloody-can before the damn doors fall off...








Leeeeeel Reehhhhhhhh...
Yep?
Done.
