Car decisions - time to sell the 911...

[ph1l5]

oh your being serious. where do you live emma ?

[VerySideways]

Well, having been round and round in circles i think maybe i am going to keep the 911 and the bike and sell the Ginetta and get a v8 wagon of some sort.

As everyone has pointed out if i sell the 911 it'll be a matter of weeks or months before i buy another one and the Ginetta just isn't getting enough use.

So the v8 estate budget is now £1k to £12k - ideas welcome.

Pete, I'm not sure you're thinking straight, I suggest you take the Ginetta for a drive immediately, that should soon sort the problem!

[E2DJH]

Ben, i thought you were on holiday?

Pete, i know a V8 that is now up for sale

ETA
it's more of a two seater than an estate though

I've had one or two small issues with the holiday plans courtsey of my wonderful job...

Does that mean a Tuscan is on the way then?

I'm sorry that the job has got in the way of your hols mate. We probably need to have a drink then

I have spotted a Tuscan that is far beyond my budget...
But i might be accepting a job offer tomorrow so, WTF eh?

(i'll sober up in the morning and regret this )

[Dizeee]

Regret nothing Dave, other than being pi$$ed and speaking from heart on a public forum!!!

That's a great suggestion David, however I plan on getting my arse back down to Newquay and drinking myself useless as early as possible tomorrow, there's just some stuff I need to get done first.

Good call on the Tuscan (I doubt you'll think any different tomorrow), you know it makes sense...

I like your thinking John!

Those S4 bi-turbos can be great fun once modded slightly.

I can't get over that 540 though... looking to replace the Disco soon with something more motorway friendly to keep the miles off the M5

[Robatr0n]

Its a rare manual too!

I have found a couple of Manual E39 540 saloons going for under £5k which is a bargain to be honest. Great cars and not slow either!

I did show you but you were too drunk to call him at the time!

It was £4000, 110k, all the trimmings and manual! I couldn't convince Cat to buy it either.
