Any other addictions ? Other than mowers!

[jmurray01]

For me, it is vacuum cleaners!

I currently have three:

1998 Hoover Turbo Power 2 1000W
2006 JMB SC1056 1400W
2004 Panasonic E-M8011 1800W

And all are in perfect working condition, and get regular use...

So, what are your addictions ?

I used to be addicted to cars, but I'm much better now.

Kids - the cure for what addicts you.

:laughing: I probably would be addicted to cars, if I didn't have my beloved Ford Fiesta!

I have two Kirbys, that I rescued from going to the junk heap - and made one good-as-new Kirby!

The one I did the most work to is a G4, and the other is a G5 that I couldn't save - ended up being parts for the other one, till I got parts from a vac shop (the RIGHT parts)

My other is my guitar - I gave it up for about 5 years, because I was getting bored with it....but I found a new song I just HAVE to learn - and just broke out my Strat today......But my right hand is weak - due to too much typing standing up. I'll forgo any further post number accolades to learn "I'm Alright" by Neal Zaza.....gotta get my fingers strong again....

I'd be interested in knowing your in depth opinion of that vehicle and how long you have owned it. I currently own a ford F-150 (truck)and have owned several other Ford vehicles. I have owned Mazda's as well, a ford partner for decades, and was very happy with those purchases.

I have a vintage 1961 kirby that is fully operational other than a small leak in the bag, interested?

I might very well be.......:smile: You can PM me....and I promise, no nastygrams this time....:wink:

That'd be like a G2 or something..........I polished mine at the shop, and it's perfect......I'll post a pic someday....(the lady has the nozzle on it right now, so it's rather ugly...:laughing

I was a died-in-the-wool Ford fan forever......until I bought my first car from a dealer - 1995 Mercury Cougar XR7 with a 4.6L OHC engine (in 1997).......it was the lousiest POS I EVER bought......soured me on Ford ever since.....

The front end needed a yearly $600 rebuild, the electro-transmission was a lousy design, as was the plastic intake on the early 4.6L.........just a terrible car. But, to its credit, it was a GREAT road car.......

They have made some lemons the 4.2l aerostar was probably the worst or most recent.
The kirby is yours if you'll pay the shipping. I'll send some photos if you like. I'll need an email address.
