After having spending a good five hours sizing, cutting and attaching soundproofing/underlay to my MB then fitting a replacement carpet I've hit a low ebb regarding the car.

It started when I realised that I only had the rear section of the carpet as the guy I'd bought the set from has supplied the wrong front section. To top it off the centre console now doesn't sit back correctly (after having removed it to get the carpet in) after I heard an unpleasant crack.

Looking up from the console as I sighed 'that' sigh I noticed that all the doorcards have come away from the seals at the top near the windows, all four of them? I can only assume its occurred due to the abnormally cold weather? Course this means refitting them again!

I've now bought the shocks, bushes, springs, calipers, brake lines and so on to be fitted next week but that still leaves the hot start problem, so even when the rest is sorted I still can't drive the chuffing thing owing to not being able to turn the car off!

I've had the car for nearly 9 months now and I've spent a LOT of time and money on it but have only managed to have one properly enjoyable drive.

So.....

Do I get on with it and hope that one day in the months before our first child is due I get to drive the car and enjoy it or should I get it MOT'd and sell up and put the money towards a car that I can enjoy more often, like a 911 or a TVR (though I know with the latter I'd just be changing problems for problems!)
