Back In The Game

Postby Fury1630 » Wed Jul 22, 2020 6:44 pm

Well, it's been a while.
As some of you know 2019 was a pretty sh1t year for me, it started with my wife wanting a divorce, then I was made redundant, then on the 1st Sept I wrecked the love of my life, thrown into the air by a badly repaired road. It could've been mended, but not knowing where I would be living, let alone if I would have a garage at all meant I had to accept sending it for scrap.

Times move on, I now have a nice(ish) house with a SEVEN BY FOUR METRE garage - I'll say that again - SEVEN BY FOUR METRE GARAGE, a job paying me more than mine & my wife's previous salaries combined (though it's contracting, so could end tomorrow), I have got to know my son from my first marriage & he's given me a grandson & today - another big step on the road back, I've bought another kit. Second hand & really not in the same league as the Fury, but it'll give me something to play with while I'm saving up the money to buy the car I do want - when I work out what that is.

It's a Quantum 2+2 1400 CVH, so it has the Devil's own drive train (Front Wheel Drive) & it's a little ratty round the edges, but it was cheap enough to have some fun with & will get me out in the lanes & back in the SEVEN BY FOUR METRE GARAGE. It won't be taxed until the 1st Aug & the MoT runs out on the 12th so my return may be short-lived, but fingers crossed it passes, the job holds out, the money keeps coming in, I can find something I want to build & no bloody woman comes near me ever again!

Sorry to here your news Tony, they say it come in three's and I think you qualify for that. Very sorry to here about the Fury, a life long friend almost and all that work but hay ho your safe and that is all that matters. Women forget them only trouble :lol:
It may only be a 1.4 CVH but that want stop you rebuilding , modifying, changing and rebuilding again so hopefully we will see you out again soon.
I'm not going say any thing about the garage, its just not fair !! ;)
And welcome back

Nice one Tony, a garage? What’s one of them..? High on my list of priorities, unfortunately I’ll have to buy a house attached to it. :lol: :lol:

Did you manage to save any bits from the fury you can use on the quantum?

Welcome back Tony :)
I'm glad you have another car, hope it passes the MOT.

And I'm envious of your garage too!

Nice to hear you’ve turned it around, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and all that!

Great to hear about your comeback - how big was that garage again? :)

I bought the house because of the garage, I know where my priorities lie.

Apart from the size, the garage also has running water & drainage, so my spare dish-washer will soon be plumbed in as a parts washer :D :lol:
