So now dare I say it, I am probably happier than I have ever been. I have a great job, a great salary, lots of money in the bank, and last but by no means least a fantastic girl! So with a bit of stability returning to my life (since I went into contract in April 2006 everything has been a bit crazy) my attentions have strayed to the possiblities of improving one's transport.
To get around, I bought - more out of desparation than choice, a Subaru WRX STI despite constantly complaining about how ugly they are. Warthog-esk styling aside, a Subaru is just about the best value for fun you can get in a car. I paid about £1600 for a '93 with 80k on the clock - not in bad condition either. They are also quite fast!
I have had a fair amount of fun in it but now it's dying. The clutch was never particularly good anyway but now it's really on it's last legs and in dire need of replacement. Coupled with this, a small amount of 'aerodynamic restying' has occurred during the snow period, hence providing the HSE officer with some valuable material for next years 'driving in the snow - why snow tyres are a good idea' lecture.
So I have a choice - repair the old dog

Buy a different old dog,
Buy a nice car,
Buy the dream car....
