tooquicktostop Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I have been divorced for 8 years and have been with my new missus for 7.5 years, she is watching my new build with interest as I said I would not do a Supra again, and when I told her I was doing Dragonball I was specific that it would be cheap, she was again suspicious, she counted the cars I have had since we got together (last 7.5 years only, I am 40!!) 8 Supras (singles, TT's and NA) 1 Skyline 3 Porsche (928, 955, 944) 1 TVR S2 1 Golf GTI 1 Camaro Z28 1 Corvette C4 3 Mercedes (E55 AMG, E320, C200) 1 Scooby WRX 1 BMW 7 Series (745i) 1 Mondeo (ST24) 1 Volvo 850 1 Saab Turbo 1 Fiesta 1 Fiat Punto 1 Astra This is nothing compared to the list before we got together, I only made money on one of them (Corvette), I think I have a car problem !!
