There are some things that I would like to be different, but I don't see how I could have done things any differently with the knowledge I had at the time. So these are not really regrets. I don't really think that way most of the time. Regrets seem very negative and waste energy. On the other hand, like Little Hawk, I wouldn't mind another life so I can have another crack at it though!

I wish I owned property - any property. But that was not to be. In relation to cars, I kept the car before this car going long after it was economical to pour money into it. I was trying to get to the holidays at the end of the year before giving up and buying another one. I had good reasons at the time, but it turned out to be probably not the best choice. In the few months before it died, I spent a lot of money to keep it on the road that could have been much better put towards my present car.

I really like my car now - a Ford Fairmont - but it has cost me more money than I would have expected, for a variety of silly things, such as the power windows, the windscreen wiper motor, the central locking etc etc etc, but it runs like a dream, so I tend to forgive it those other things. One annoying thing that took a while to solve, was when it was running smoothly but 'hiccuping' while idling, and also hard to start. All sorts of things, such as the oxygen sensor and the map sensor (neither of which I had even heard of before) were replaced before discovering that the brand new coil which had only been replaced a few months earlier, was faulty. At the moment it's fine, and I don't regret the money I've spent on it. I think it's just the nature of cars - they are a money pit. If I could do without one I would, but for various reasons I need one. C'est la vie!
