    If you could choose between having a dusty car sitting up on a container or having a lump of money you can put into doing some mad stuff, i know what i'd choose. Ireland's not the kind of country that's suited to keeping rare cars clean.

    You absolutely made the right decision. I love twin cams but at the end of the day it’s just a trim package that makes them crazy money and it’s just sitting there. So much better to have money to push you passion while giving that to someone that will love it for what it is rather than it collecting dust. Also fully agree with driving the shit out of cars 😂

    If the car is sitting gathering dust it's not getting used. If it's not getting used it's not a car so your not enjoying it. If your not enjoying it why have it?

      I don't think Darren really cares about RUclips all that much or at least not as much as other 'youtubers' in a way he'll want to make sure he has the right content to buy a 50k plus corolla in 10 years.
      Better off cashing in and enjoying cars in the way he wants while he still can. Pottering around in a crappy slow albeit 'concours' car in your old age to Cars and Cocks meets on a Sunday morning isn't something that would appeal to me either 😂
