Spent sunday helping my mate prep his Mk2 escort for MOT (Complete with 2litre DOHC transplant - a whole other thread there...). Now lurking up the roadway, was a forelorn looking mk1 MR2. Looks like it had been driven up a kerb (front skirts took a pounding), one rear quarter and rear bumper had a knock too. Noticed that the tax was about to run out too, so suddenly in my mind its in that "£50 guv'nor" price range and I'm lusting after it!
Now the sensible side of me knows that it would be a right royal pain in the bum; It's GOING to be a rot box; It's probably had years of abuse and it'll all end in tears. Yet I still want it.
I know it'd be a far wiser thing to buy a pristine example for a couple of grand; But a £50'er is more appealing.
My last MR2 fell aprt around me; this one's an older model, with extra years on the clock - Yet still I want it.
On top of it all, I DON'T NEED THE DAMN THING. I've a nice practical daily driver, I've already got 3 long term project cars - But I STILL left a note on the windscreen.....
Am i just a car junkie? Do you think I could apply for some sort of NHS therepy?

and think 'what if' but Ive managed to clean my garage and drive of the 6 I had built up over time 
to just the £150 super shed mondy and 'tha thing'.... though the missus wants a classic as her first car

. One day I will learn some basic mechanical skills, and try and do up a few cars myself- need a garage first though
