Des Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 (edited) How can you enjoy something if its bricked into a room and you can't even see it, or drive it. :2thumbs: Excactly cars are made to be driving so drive them. Edited October 8, 2006 by too quick Quote
rjenman Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 Thats a bit harsh isn't it?? :2thumbs: I not completely sure why you'd brick-in a Corolla for preservation purposes (unless it was a genuine Levin, a prototype or an ex-works rally car, but at the same time you can't blame someone for trying to increase the life expectancy/ preserve something that they really enjoy. Yeah ok that may have been a bit harsh. Frankly I don't understand why you'd keep something you love on the shelf and just sit there admiring it... when a lot of the reason you admire it is because of how much you do, or WOULD in this case, enjoy using it. That just seems to be a pretentious and strange thing to... but thats just my opinion Quote
JiP Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 Instead of bricking it up you could encase it in a glass tomb made from bulletproof glass. That way you and everyone else can admire what you own. Quote
st.nick Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 Bricks were probably cheaper than bullet-proof glass!! :2thumbs: Now that I think of it... I have heard the ol' "Bricked in for preservation" urban legend before. Latest one is that there is a genuine Brocky racer 'bricked-in" somewhere, and one of those G-Zero Skyline things, that somehow made it to Australia... Quote
muller Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 Instead of bricking it up you could encase it in a glass tomb made from bulletproof glass. That way you and everyone else can admire what you own. Or just put a window in with the bricks :2thumbs: Quote
kickn5k Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 you would be suprised what some people can do with cars if its true then i think the word is excentric if spelt correctly but i would use nut case my corolla is old and parts are a little hard to find but after driving her the first time the other week am in love its the most fun car ive owned and people look at it as if to say what the f&$k is that.

dysolve Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 I was told that one of the german car companies has a few cars in a air proof room, you can see them up not touch.. Quote
