Still have my first car (54 oval - waiting for some loving), but regretted trading my '81 GSX 250 for a shiney new Hornet 600. The 250 had so much
more character, sure it only did 115km/hr, sure the rear drum locked up, sure the carbies iced up the list goes on...
also a comet goldfish when I was a kid (in the 80's) - I bought him when he was small then traded him in for $2 years later...lesson learnt, a man
and his fish should never be parted. I've had Roger the red devil since 1996...

I still regret selling my '70 notch. Bought it as an insurance write off and rebuilt it. Sold it 10 years ago and still think about it....

I regret selling three things when I was young. These are only a few of the total.
1. My Hornby Dublo train set.
2. My Meccano set. I replaced it about 20 years ago. I don't use it. I just have it. A young man next door who is doing an engineering degree
recently borrowed it to make a mechanism for an assignment. That's why I have it. All properly equiped scientific laboratories should have a Meccano
set with which to make mechanisms to help in experiments.
3. My marbles. I had several blood real marbles amongst a big collection of otherwise ordinary marbles. My dad gave them to me as he had kept them
from his boyhood. Blood reals are red and white with a marbled swirl effect. They are harder and denser than other marbles and have a greater
coefficient of restitution. That means that when they hit an ordinary glass marble they stop and the cheap glass marble goes flying away. They also
had a chipped, rough surface from years of use, so they were very easy to grip and fire. I used to trade dozens of cheap marbels to get a lost blood
real back.
I had a blood real tombowler that was invincible.
Now that I think more deeply about this, I really do regret not still having them.

I have only ever sold two of my dubs, my KG in the UK but I don't regret selling it as it would have been an ongoing problem down the track with the
body but I do regret leaving the engine in it. In Oz I sold a camper because the wife told me to and I don't regret that either. Just wish I'd kept
the engine though from the KG, twin Reece fish carbs,counter weighted crank,1835cc,lightened flywheel, go faster cam (I think a Scat C45) gasflowed
heads, it went like the clappers and was even reliable! Now I'm a married man with kids and so my priorities have had to change, Will never sell my
buggy nor cabriolet as they are part of the family and I know I'd regret it if I did.

I've never sold a Dub, in fact i've only recently bought my first one. I do however regret selling my 74 dodge truck. It ws a shortbed that I built
a big block for. It was a beast until a brake failure left the front end in shambles |
