from what i have seen there are 2 types of people, car people and non car people, car people love their cars and know everything about them, then theres non car people who see them as an A to B tool and dont care as long as they work

I do the same as poison, anything I like I tend to learn a lot about, although Im probably well out of the latest stuff as I havent kept up to date on cars.

I have one picture. Id have more pics and pay more attention to the workings of the car if it was a better car. At the moment it is simply a no frills A to B tool.

No one takes pictures of a beige generic midi tower, but they might a modded Lian Li...

I own 26 cars (That are roadworthy) and a lot of spare parts bins. We also would have about 44 bikes and associated parts in stock - probably 22 of those are in roadworthy condition, and I only ever ride the ZX10 or the RG500 (And very rarely one of the RD350s) and have about 10 pictures of cars and/or bikes in total - I dont really see the point!

Im more concerned with performance and actual mechanical functionality, rather than these people who could tell you what the best cleaning compound was for their radiator, yet if you asked them to do something simple like replace rollbar links theyd start by opening the bonnet and staring at their clean engine.

Thats one of the few small advantages of having some land and living in the country. Broadband is affected by the distance from the exchange though - and lets face it, thats just as important :)

I spent labor day realigning the bumper skirt on the VW and reinstalling some vents that had popped out when I got hung up on an extra high sleeping policeman in a lot. Then I washed, detarred, de-brake dusted, rubber treated, and leather conditioned. Looks as new, but I felt no compelling reason so photograph it.

I dont take pictures of my toilet after I scrub the skid marks off the sides of the bowl either. :lol:

Dunno....  5?

I would say I like cars a lot, but I dont take a lot of photos really.. not totally 110% obsessed like some people are with their cars (the type that spend more than their wages, it seems..  on a monthly basis! :shock: the car club I am in, some people just amaze me...  its almost sad, actually.)
