TEN YEARS LATER
Crazy, isn't it? One minute, you're a not-long-married 30-something musing about the inevitability of having to sell your fancy sports car (the 350Z). Then, in the very next blog post, you're a late 40-something dad driving a 1.0-litre Focus, composing a blog post about a rare karting session while your 9yo daughter does gymnastics. Let's hit rewind for some very motoring-skewed notable events of the past 10 years: Sold the 350Z not long after the last big post for... £5000, IIRC. Focus nearly died (timing belt) on a drive to Edinburgh airport (we still caught the plane after leaving the car behind) First daughter born in 2013 Focus eventually died on a local dual carriageway (no personal trauma involved) Replaced Focus with a diesel Renault Laguna mk3... and grew to hate it Second daughter born in 2016 Eventually replaced the Laguna after 6 or 7 years of joyless motoring with another Focus; mk3 this time Not a single trackday in the last 10 years Occasional track &quo
