Thanks for all the kind words guys.

The GT was a fantastic car to own. Everywhere you go you turn heads, get guys chatting to you in servos. Have complete strangers filming you as you overtake them on the freeway etc etc. It was certainly something special. But, as great as it was to own, I was just not using it. In the 12 month period before I sold it I probably drove it less than 1,000km. Maybe less than 500 even.

I'm not one to keep something just for the  !!@ value so the little voices in my head started at me to sell it. Over time those voices were a daily thing and I was constantly debating with myself whether to sell or keep. I put it up for sale previously but couldn't go through with it, this time I did. But it sold in about 2 days so I didn't have too long to have second thoughts.

So far I am really enjoying my pins, very difficult to pick favourite:

Roadshow: My first and I love the different modes the game has. The taxi dude is great.
Funhouse: Such a great pin, in new in box condition and an old favourite of my wife. Plus I love talking pinheads and putting Rudy to sleep.
Theatre Of Magic: Such a great free flowing game, yet forgiving and still a challenge. Great toys and sound. Love it when she says "Vanish" to me.
Flintstones: Love the smart ramps, the bowling feature, the multiball machine etc. Great sound and theme.
Medieval Madness: Don't have this one yet (tomorrow) but played it at Honkey's and liked it. The wife straight away said she wanted one, I tried to talk her out of it and reminded her of the price but a week later we had committed to buying one. I love the castle that crumbles.
Party Zone: Haven't played this one yet, but it has the talking head going for it and it looks like a great fun pin.

If I absolutely had to pick a fave, it would be very difficult.

I have another side of the garage that I may be able to talk the wife in to letting me use as more pin storage over time. So hopefully I can fit another 4 pins in.
