Come on Josh, things can't be that bad

After all the hard word work, time and effort you have put in to Denzil, you can be proud of what you have achieved

Wouldn't be without my Traveller. I haven't driven it yet this year (So its missed the worst of the salt) but its there when I need it. I have some stuff to take to the tip, so one day soon, the trailer will be hitched up and off we'll go.

Spring is coming, you'll get over it :D .

Hang in there Josh, I'm sure it's just a case of the Winter Blues ! Wait until the Spring arrives....bright sunny day, windows down,good music and a good road ahead. As Nick said - all that time and effort you've put into your car will prove to have been worth it once the opportunity arises to drive him more often.

Its something you can always return to.
My first car was a Traveller that I spent a year fixing up with my dad when I was 16. After driving for a couple of years I was pleased to sell it and get an Alfa Sud as it was sporty. I only missed the minor 25 years later and thats why I started again.

Just dont do anything too hasty as that is a good car.

I went through all this with my last car. I was thinking of getting rid and I got talked out of it. The people on here seem to have a knack of talking people out of things :lol:

Find somewhere to do a bit of "off road" driving to keep your interest going. P.s. don't forget you'll still need to be insured, but I'm sure Denzil is as you've spent so much time doing him up! :wink: Ask someone in your family to take you out for a drive in him?
