Wedge / S, Wedge / S, Wedge / S / TR6

[silverback mike]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.

S - always liked them.
Wedge - bonkers, noise, funny shape.
tr6 - wildcard, don't know why, just like them.

I can honestly say, since I was nearly run over by a Wedge in my youth I have been smitten.
Also, when out running years ago, someone started what must have been a V8s, I nearly cacked myself.

Now I have some money going into a pot for one or the other (It might take a while though) I STILL after all these years can't make my mind up.

I know no-one can do it for me, so I am blithering on like an idiot but for god's sake, it really is doing my head in.

Just thought I would share it with you

If you want speed and noise ,there is only one, 450 SEAC

Now i have a feeling that could be a little bit too pricey

Soton - good point, migrating S owners means that some nice examples will be around. Something like the one podie has sold would be marvellous.

"Tripps" car is for sale TVR plate included,nice example

[silverback mike]

Just looked at Tripps profile as he answered a query I have about le mans.

Does look a corker, but I am adamant that I will be throwing money in a pot to pay cash for it rather than a loan etc as it will be a third car which I don't need, just want. So will be a little way off, just need a direction to look...

[sotonS2]

But you ARE leaning towards TVR rather than Triumph, aren't you ??

and therein lies a dilemma.. just say you saved around £200 a month for 3 years for your car, you've got £7k to spend on one in three years time.

Or you could buy the car today an borrow the 7k instead. This would "cost" you say £215 a month instead of the £200 you were saving up, but for the extra £15 you get to actually own the car for the three years and do some

I've just done this to fund the new Chim. I was like you going to save up the cash, but then thought sod it, for the £500 in interest the loan is going to cost me over 3 years I think I'd happily "pay" £500 to someone for the benefit of having the car now and not in 3 years time.

Life is too short, and we only get one go at it

Cheers,
Matt

* Plus if things change financially you can always sell the car to recoup the cash. A TVR should depreciate at a lot lower rate than the outstanding balance of the loan.
