Sell the old girl back to me and buy a 500!

Hi Mike, thanks for that!
Car has been faultless in my ownership really, im just getting that urge for a bit more poke now as we all do from time to time.
I would consider trading up so to speak but I do have a budget to stick to.

You can drive my turbocharged car if you wish. 395 bhp and 525 ft lbs.
I see you are in Sarf Wayels, and we visit there about every 3 weeks. We did the 400 miles yesterday.
I am sure I can persuade Erin Dawes (for it is her dad we go to see) to take the TVR next time.

I offer because I feel you ought to see for yourself if the "quite a bit more poke" from forced induction is actually going to satisfy your needs without just emptying your wallet and not achieving your wishes.

Adding say 100 extra bhp to a 300 bhp car (to make the maths easier), and say 175 ft lbs of torque to the same 350 ft lb car, doesn't reduce your quarter mile time by 1/3rd. In reality it will take about 10% off the previous 13 second time. Law of diminishing returns applies.
Yes, it does feel faster......but not several warp factors faster.

Thanks for the offer but I know id be hooked if that happened!

Are you looking to buy another Mike?

I'm always looking but only really seen some silly prices with not much moving! Got 2 projects on the go already at the minute as well but as I said originally when you decide to sell it on I want first refusal!

I think the market has gone crazy lately, i did miss out on viewing a rather nice 500 recently that was in the classifieds for £15k, viper blue in colour if it was someone on here.
If i do decide to sell on i will let you know, seems to be a buyers market for 400s though.
