Time-sapping Temptation

Time-sapping Temptation, originally uploaded by robgt.

This car has been sitting in a pub car park near my office for more than two years. Every time I see it my thought process goes:

'second-hand windscreen, front lights, driver's door, front grille, maybe a second hand engine to swap in. Wonder who owns it and how little money I could put it on the road for...'

Ten years ago this would already be parked in my garage until I lost interest and sold it on, probably at a loss.

Maybe some temptations get less as one gets older and, presumably, a little wiser...
