    Why oh why

    Now some of the projects on this forum are amazing; but does
    Anyone else think at times " why did I start this project"?

    I'm having one of these moments tonight; staring at a bare shell thinking, I really want to drive my r5

    totally know how you feel, the projects the members are doing really make me crave for another 5, but then i think of the money required to have a project and i feel all good again having sold up

    but why do i keep looking on ebay for a gtt from time to time

    But when you get that engine firing up for the first time, or you start sorting out all the smaller things and the end is in sight it just makes it all worthwhile, apart from need to rush to finish the last bits to get it ready by ND. Completing things for MOT and not for looks at the moment or working items, stupid electrics

    looks on the bright side, r5s are small very easy and hold there money.

    think about all these poor buggers slogging away on projects that are full of wiring and complicated crap, r5s are great.
