I have to agree with this. Wasted so much money on cars over the years and have nothing to show for it. I just use the car to get to and from work now. If i could get a train i would..

DVLA fine on a black Corsa SRi which I bought to strip, was in bits on a shelf and I got a fine for no tax and no SORN. Clearly it's not on the road. Nobs.
Land Rover Discovery bought as an MOT failure, never did anything with it and sold at a loss. DVLA are stalking me about that as well, can see me getting fined for something stupid about that as well.

my car was collected on a trailor after sitting for 3 or 4 days outside his unit
had some red jeep thing with huge chrome alloys
they looked absolutely shite
probably better on it than the car they were destined for mind

My Corsa Turbo and Sport
Paid £2400 for it, enjoyed having it for a few months then the many bodges made themselves very clear and when i lost alot of hours at work i was forced to sell it to keep me going and only managed to get £500 for it
I regret it for how much money it cost me in the end and how much of a loss I made but it cost the new owner over £2k to get it through the next MOT and now its being broken for bits as it still keeps breaking
Then my Corsa Sport which i picked up cheap tbh, and was aiming to go down the C20LET route again but with it done properly, project was cut short when we had our garage taken off us and ended selling the car for £250, wasnt bad considering it was only a shell and engine
But ive managed to get my money back plus more from selling parts so its all good
