Possibly, Dabell you going? Was speaking to Jon staff about it today and might stay in town like a sissy for the first week or so, or see how I feel on Sunday.

So has the S been part-exchanged Bob, or are you still hoping to sell it ?

It was PX'd and will be up for sale at dream machines soon. Right now its at Austec, I'll be droppig it off Saturday.

Its at Austec as the ECU map wasnt set perfect, and being the good guy I am, wanted to sort it before handing it over to the dealer Tony said he will be putting it up for 10k approx, which is about the price I wanted to sell it for privately

Well done Bob!
You're probably gonna need those 3 good sleeps and a wallet full of petrol tokens for Saturday. Bet it'll be well after midnight by the time you extract yourself from the cockpit (if you can that is ?)

Cheers mate Ive actually been reading this very forum a lot longer than most people here, over 4 years actually

Not being able to afford one got me down after discovering PH in 2000, and I found myself reading less and less. I bought a V8S 6 months ago, learnt to drive and sold it today. Even before PH, I knew that one day Id buy a good yellow 4.5, and love it to bits.

That day will be Saturday

I don't know whats more frightening, selling a V8S to buy a cerb or the fact you've only just past your test .
