So then, with 2010 behind us, and a previous year of dreams fulfilled (or not ). A new year dawns, the sun rises gracefully from behind your cool new retro/daily, a beautiful, newly purchased piece of automotive sweetness glistens from the dew of a fresh morning in a most appealing manor. A selection of small woodland animals dance around and rejoice your new aqusition. the land beneath you rises up and you look out over the land and see (through some roobeh advised cool shades), it is goo oooood. Well then, What's yah plans? Personally, I'll be doing my best to get a job so I can afford a sweet sweet slice of the personal motoring pie. What with the joys of being young and all. So in six months I'd like to have earned enough to re-initiate my last few driving lessons, pass my test and pay for the dreaded insurance. Then, at the end of the year I'd like to have the micra, with a nice healthy cross-member and some choice OEM+ accessories such as door cards and what not. Trying to be as realistic as possible.. Of course, it's not quite 2011 yet but then there's no resolution worse than an unplanned resolution!

This years plans start with getting the rover looking somewhere close to this potatoplop Then after saving for as long as I can bare, sell it and find a tidy EG, or earlier, civic. Chevette wise: Tidy the garage/sell stuff all my polo bits so that I can walk round it again, get stuck in properly and stop being a pansy about it. This is giving me a good level of mojo at the moment

Faster. Faster. Until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

I am with you there Mr. Roobeh sir; I resolve to have a piece of that delicious pie of which you speak. In fact, no wooly new year resolution: if I haven't taken my test by the end of February I will slap myself about the face with a wooden spatula.
Erm, then get a better job, mo' money, simple trifling things like that.

I'm not sure what my new years' resolutions are, but I know that I will be earning a lot more money next year than I ever have before, and it surely isn't going to get spent on stamp collecting! Perhaps I might build a hot engine for the bug, put in a cage and some dirt tyres and go rallying...

not a big fan of resolutions (mostly they are like "stop smoking", "lose weight" etc.) , but car resolutions are totally different ... ;D i'd like to own this : well, a standard one would be fine .... don't laugh, as we never had this car over here I have no prejudices : most likely I will own this : not the one on the pic, but a similar one .... not sure what to do with it, i'll have a look when it turns up here, as it was so cheap, it would have been rude not to buy it ... on the cards on the existing cars : Passat Variant : new wings, some fresh metal to replace rusty metal and new suspension fitted ... Type 25 : off with the fake westfalia roof and close the hole in the metal ...

2011 for me: Get a car a few months before I'm 17 (June 21st) It'll probably be a Mini Pass my test before RRG11 (don't know if that'll happen tbh) Avoid crashing...

next year I'm going to get my mk2 polo back together, nothing exciting with regards to looks, power or handling, but it is another old(ish) car to keep running. and when thats done, start doing some proper work on my herald

I intend to finish this: That is all - not making any other plans until that is done! Ideally I'd like to have the new Rangie lifted and on the road, the Jeep sold, the Merc finished and the Chevy back on the road with it's 8" lift and 39" tyres fitted but I ain't gonna hold my breath!!

don't really plan to own anything else, well not cars, maybe a boat ;D
Main plan is to get the roof welded and the windscreen back in on the Ram, get it built back up and painted so i can start using it.
