Never get bored, just fancy a change to something bigger/better/faster.

Buying new bits and pieces helps to stop a wandering eye though.

I'm not bored of mine, but then I do modify it quite a bit and it's a nice car to drive. I thought I would have by now but as Ben says I drive it quite slowly when going to and from work so when I go for a blast it feels quite nippy and reminds me how good a car it is. Just lacks straight line speed.

I do always look at other cars though and do insurance quotes

I dont get bored as such,i just see another car that i fancy having so sell what ever car i have at the time.

Out of the 13ish cars ive had,theres only 2 ive not wanted to sell but had to for various reasons.

The E36 328i sport was a real headturner,drove awesome and was a really fun car to drive(especially in the wet).Had to get rid of it because my GF drove it also and we had it over the winter time,and even with the T/C switched on,it still kicked on her and she got scared of it.

The Pulsar Gti-R with 313bhp and a few tasty handling mods was a right hoot.Always put a smile on my face,never once broke and was insanely quick.Keeping it wasnt an option as i got banned and didnt fancy paying over £2500 to insure it.If it wasnt for that then i know id still have it to this day.

Other cars ive had were only sold if i knew id make some money on them.

And the 1s i got bored of were sold as i got bored of spending money on them/got pissed off with the ride comfort or stuff like that.

I mod it first, so from about 2 months till 4 it'll have whatever i was planning to do to it. Then sell and get something new.

I never used to give my Ibiza Cupra much stick, so I didn't get bored for ages tbh. Every now and then I'd boot it and fall back in love with it.

First time it properly breaks I want rid, I'm not that into cars or driving about like a lunatic tbh. I've been driving for 8 years and only had 2 cars but I'll get something bigger in the new year I think.
