    The end of an era! PSI 304 has been SOLD! 😢
    It took alot of hard thinking to make the decision whether or not to take the buyer up on their offer but I feel like the decision made has been the right one. What do you think?

    How would it be if your little man buys it in 20 years and says, “Dad, I found your car.

    Can definitely relate. I sold my ASV VR 5 ltr 5 speed to Jason Waye of tuff mounts after owning it for 22 years. Jason’s old man owned ASV and it was his mum’s daily that she drove to work every day. It’s now getting a bit of a makeover as you can see on his TH-cam channel 👍

    That quiet.... empty feeling you have after selling a car you love. As if the birds stopped chirping. Every car enthusiast knows this right. Good stuff mate. I think by the sounds of it couldn't have gone to a better home, So thats a relief.

    I’m struggling with this contemplation as well. A Ute I’ve owned since new that I love & am proud to own…. But, has been mothballed since the beginning of Covid. The funds could help finish my other Ute, and help boost a small business I’ve started. I just can’t wrap my head around parting with it. Not mentioning what everyone that I know would say if I did.
    Huge respect for taking the leap mate.

    • @TorqHub
      @TorqHub  14 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Sometimes we just really need to sit with our thoughts and decide whether or not holding onto that car is enriching our lives. Sure, it's nice to have, and I certainly could have quite happily kept it, but both myself and my family will benefit by letting it go... as much as it hurts for a bit.

  • @FuManchu5ltr
    @FuManchu5ltr 27 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

    This is weird. It’s such a similar story to when I said good bye to my VP ute. Almost shed a tear as it left the street. It took us all over WA. The. The kids came along and the ute no longer easily fit in with our needs. Along came the Crewman. (Now onto a second crewman.)The car was so special to me. A few days ago I found in my contacts “bought the ute”. I really want to find out what happened to it. A bit random though. And here you are posting a different version of a similar story. I think about the ute still.
    You’re going to think about that car when you’re an old man with a big white beard.

    • @TorqHub
      @TorqHub  20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Haha yeah I'm picking up what you're putting down. They were just regular auto parts store 'acorn wheel nuts' mate. But they can come in slightly different lengths, so you might need to measure to make sure they suit your wheel studs

      @bigred3188 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@TorqHub ah yep cheers man yeah I’ve put the ssvs on my vz sv8 I’m just paranoid that because the centres are honed there’s a little play that I’m having to rely a shit tonne on the correct nuts to keep the wheel centered, wasn’t sure if suppose to put like a hub ring or something on there so just wiinging it haha also sorry to be a pain but did you have to roll your guards to lower it with running the ssvs ?

    • @TorqHub

      Guards were rolled long before the SSVs went one so couldn't tell you how they fit without rolled guards. But when in doubt, roll em out

      Unfortunately there aren't any real special frames up there. Just something to roll on when I take the kids to the skatepark/pump track, and my son's Haro micro mini. Have been keeping my eye out for a 2000 Mongoose Pro Menace though, and a couple other mid-school bikes of nostalgic relevance. Maybe one day lol
