The Offical "Guess What I'm Buying Now" Thread

Post by Steve Simmons »

If you've already been given a clue (I know Malcolm and Mark B have) then you're disqualified from guessing publicly! ;)

So... what am I buying now?

Well you like the classics, you are a bit of a nut for British and specifically MG. However you did throw us all for a loop and purchased a Ford Model T and sold the Y type.
Hmm, either the guy decided he didn't want the Y type and you are buying it back
You have dreamed about the Aston Martin a few times.
I will say a classic Aston Martin, DB-5 maybe.

Apparently Chris' wife knows me better than any of you, but no that isn't it. ;)

You can ask yes or no questions of course.

No! And not my old Y-Type either, unfortunately.

While everybody assumed it was a car you were buying, I had hoped it was something you really need: A garage.
But, since it has four wheels, the only logical storage item I can think of would be a railroad car.
In baseball, running into someone is apparently a "collision".
But doing the same thing in a car somehow makes it an "accident".

Oh you already did. Think about the other unrestored car in my barn.:)

Very good choice. I am happy to see that it will be going to a good home. Let me know if you need a hand. I should be around this wknd.

You can look at it this way - It was a bargain, as it was $1M cheaper then the other item for sale...
