Hey guys...this is a moan
I love cars, but currently its got to the stage where I wish I didn't own any. The past month has been one problem after another and it's wearing me thin. It has also got to the stage where a luxury (i don't use my cars for daily transport, as I live in central london) has become my biggest stress and by far my biggest cost outside of must-haves.
The MX5 has been a nightmare. I know it is an old car, but they have a great rep as being reliable. The power steering sprung a huge leak. Week later the belts snapped and it over heated. Week later caliper started acting up.
This week, the car is for some reason sitting higher on one side than the other, for reasons unknown. Also, it is pulling itself off its anti-roll bar drop links possibly because of the car siting higher.
The Vantage also has a couple of issues, not as bad, touch wood. But of course more expensive.
I know we all have moments when our favourite hobby/passion becomes a bit of an annoying weight on the shoulders. I guess that everyone has been there, i have before certainly with the Masser, and no doubt in a few days (hopefully not weeks) and the bank balance significantly less in the black and more in the red, all will be well. Let's hope
Anyway moan over. Just thought i'd have a moan to people who might actually understand.
