So dont feed off each other on that score. The point its fun to drive and its a diesel a totally different car for no money with a few mods, some of you may pay more insurance than the micra costs.

So you were driving a diesel Micra and lost £800 whilst I was driving a TVR and made £1000...

Yeah I can see why you're boasting about that.

You can't offer the services a trader or garage can so you can't expect that sort of money.

And I can't imagine a standard TVR on a specialist policy is much more expensive to insure than a heavily modified Micra?

Has it ran the quarter mile OP?

I'd be interested in the results.

So take off £1000 at least.

And in returning it to stock, many savvy buyers might spot your mods.

I'm not pissing on your parade, I think life is about how you drive it, not what it is, or what mods it has, just be realistic that you haven't quite got the bargain that you think you have.

That wasn't my point. My point was future value.
