hi
What could you do to get a younger friend closer to your age without having to travel 150+ km to and back from the nearest city weekly fortnightly, for example to adelaide from yorke pensinsula. A lot seem to plan to move there or live there and not everyone is in a position to travel once a week Some also have a car that needs heaps of things fixed and can only afford them bit by bit and have to put up with not being able to go weekly until all fixed though occasional trip may not be a problem. Updating is not a option neither is shifting also not everyones in a position to change cars every so long. why do alot people start thinking of another car when repairs get to $500-$1000 each time while they can still get $1000, $2000, $3000 for the old car instead of waiting for the old one to die completely or until theyre told they need to spend $2000-$3000 on things, what makes people think about it is it lots minor things that makes them think about it or is it because they have family that live some distance and they want to make definite plans and have little problems or like most people dont have the patience to deal with the minor things anymore, or they become too annoying. spose you can understand why they do it is it also because some people have to travel or want to go places and not have the thoughts of being stuck somewhere, do they also feel that anything you can put towards your next car makes a difference so they sell the old one while they can still get some money to go towards it. also not everyone is in a position to get another car, some dont want to get rid of them, some cant afford one, some like older cars, some have already put so much money into them (enough they nearly could get another one) theyll never get their money back so they got to hang onto them or bit of everything also was wondering what could you put on a powered site if you don't have a van that's as comfortable as a van/cabin that doesn't take forever to pack in trailer or boot, setup when you get there, pack up again and bring it all home (means what can you put on a powered site that's as comfortable as a van/cabin that's always packed or has things in it and you only got to do a few things when you get there and that's it) because a van you only got to unhook it wind legs down plug cord in and setup annex and put a few things out and that's about it because itd be good to have a regular area to have people around then the finding younger friend might be easier and until you get the van you got to make do |

This is your solution.
Sell the car, then you don't have to worry about it and running costs Invest in public transport, then you can go places Else, buy video games and lock yourself in your house I'm also going to give you one phrase. If you want to visit someone and they mean that much to you, then you will go out of YOUR way to visit them, if they don't want to visit you, then they aren't someone to associate with. Now, don't come back and post the same thing again.

In today's society, I'd rather a smile on my face than a hole in my heart.
