is a wonderfull thing isnt it 
If you could go back and re-evalute your car decisions, would you? If so... what would you do differently?
Try to bear in mind you wouldnt have the money spent in 'total' at the one time... i,e if you have spent 20k over 4years.... saying puying a 911 or somthing isnt really true
I wouldnt have sold the supra
I would not have kitted my old silver corsa! My worst decision to date ! I would have still bought and tuned the car, just not kitted

well tbh I would have still done the same with my corsa, only thing I would change is to not have spent £2k getting the mantzel and all the other bits, I would go straight to tb's.

Not bought Cheesys corsa with the EX as she has ruined such a fine C!!!
Kept the RX for another year

Id have done a proper build on my nova first time around to save me taking it all to bits again for plating kit and buftyingness.
Id have realised I had a dodgy lambda and saved hundreds in fuel
I would have used a nova for my summer fun xe conversion instead of the corsa
Id have used a std manifold and sould my massive ground scraping one instead of wasting time in vain trying to get it to fit

In all I'm pretty happy with my past car decissions.
But I could have put a 1.6 or 2.0 in the Corsa and kept it another year, just becuase it would've been fun.
Then I might have bought a Turbo coupe instead of a 1.8, but who knows.

Never selling my silver Corsa, keeping it removing the fibreglass and fitting GSi kit and doing 2.0 16v conversion, if only Lee had started doing the conversions a year earlier

i wouldnt have taken the corsa off the road to rebuild, i would have just driven it for a few more months then sold it on.
best thing i ever done was ask my mate if he knew anyone wanting to buy my saxo, he phoned his mate, and his mate bought it for 5.8k the following week.
that was an x-reg saxo vtr, last year.

Probably should have kept all my cars longer, I lost loads of no claims by selling them and cancelling the policies to start elsewhere for less money.

i'd have got the blue corsa 12volt rather than the 1.2 8v silver one thinking it would be faster.

I should not have sold my X Reg Zetec-s and had the slight damage repaired...instead I lost interest in it and sold it to buy an MR2...
The Zetec-s was immaculate (except for the slight damage) and was so reliable...I had it for near on 2 years or something and it didnt cost me a penny in repairs...
