My to do/wish list keeps growing

Retrorob · 15th May 2017, 15:49

I have a to do/wish list in my head as I'm sure we all do but thought I would write it down. Some of them are bits that need doing some of them are upgrades and the rest are in the if only I could, not essential but cost money.

My list in my head was I thought not that long but was very surprised when I had finished writing it all down to find there were nearly 50 items. Some are easy, others break down into even more tasks and some, not many are beyond my financial reach and will need a compromise.

Now don't get me wrong my 75 is low mileage and in good condition and many would be happy to own the car as it is BUT these are such great cars I cant help finding more and more I would like to do.

Was wondering if anyone else has the same problem of a growing list no matter how many items they tick off.

The problem with a to do list is it's actually a never done list

Understand totally my to-do list and my wish list however seems to quickly outrun my bank balance

I know that feeling. £550 thrown at the car over the weekend and you would be hard pushed to tell.

I'm hoping not to spend anything like that on the ZT to make it museum quality!
