how much could i get away with? (frog content)

[toxic frog]

if the new house project comes together, i might have to take a temporary dip out of the frog ownership for a while... (nothing certain as yet!)....

i would certainly not 'need' to sell, so fully intend on being bullish and arrogant about things in a way that only i could.

in the current market, how much do you think i could get away with asking for the beast?...

it's now done a whisker over 30k

i was thinking about £25k on the basis of its famous owner?

[Gooby]

I was thinking £2.5k because of the infamous driver/owner. (about what mine is worth)

[Philygumbo]

Infamous is more like it.

[S Works]

£12k is probably about right.

[fatwomble]

If you don't need to sell, stick it up for £13 - 13 1/2 as they were still going for that towards the end of the summer. Obviously brag about the cars fame (not the owner )

Alternately PX it for my S1.

[toxic frog]

cheers chaps.... i was reckoning on somewhere between £12-£13k....

if anyone is in the market right now and is prepared to pay £13k on the nose, give me a shout and christmas might be coming your way early! (i'll even wash the old shitter for you)

btw... spec is as follows:-

scandal green SVA-Sport 160 (w-plate.... gay private plate not included!)
31k mileage
black victory alloys shod with good advans
red/black alcantara (think frog sliced in half)
black roof
itg carbon induction kit
alloy 160tb
sports-cat (there is a crp hiding somewhere at lakeside engineering that belongs to it)
EBD/eliseparts single exit stainless zorst (originally fitted to the famous 'lifeboat')
newish ebc turbo discs all round with mintex pads and braided hoses
gear-linkage kit and short-shift... quite stiff so your left arm may end up making you look like a pro-wr
oil cooler thingy (i think it might be a water-based item as it's hiding in the engine bay)
eliseparts front plate mount
apparently it has a cd/radio with alpine speakers, which makes a bit of noise, but no way near as good as my renditions of kylie's greatest hits (a sample cd is available at extra cost)
full armourfend
an unwashed thong belonging to mrs toxic from when we tried to christen the car
lots of stone-chips on the front
very camp looking plans motorsport windscreen flash thingy (as seen on a few seriously g'hey s2 exiges)
all-over waterproof breathable cover
rain-cape
spare bulb kit and warning triangle (bought before i pussied out of going to the ring)
was c-serviced when i bought it (about 18 months ago)... been a-serviced since...
various things have been replaced under warranty and i also had a uprated water pump fitted just in case.

as seen on the front cover of Classic Cars (or whatever it's called) and in Evo magazine (a very famous car!).

was tracked before i bought it (and very well known in SELOC circles), but i've been far too much of a pussy to do that myself, preferring instead to break subaquas late great g'heyer s2 instead.

Note to moderators - THIS IS NOT AN AD - even though it looks like one... this is merely an opportunity to make a very small selection of learned friends aware of a potential opportunity.

Interviews for potential candidates will be held in due course... if they are female, a casting couch session can also be arranged.

toodle pip & tally ho'

I'd love to own your car, how about PXing it with the type 49 111s ice cream mobile and some cash to you?!

I like the green beastie so much I'd probably even endure a casting couch session, do you still have that wig?!

Jez, were you at Coombe on thursday?

[Jez49]

Hi yes I was!

Did you hear anything about an accident later in the afternoon, I went home a bit after four.

Did you have a good day - seemed to be going well!

Jez

The only accident i heard of was the chap in the pale blue S2 went backwards into the tyre wall. Was there another?
Yep had great fun, i left at 3 though.

[Jez49]

Someone old me they'd heard ther was a bad crash later in the afternoon, could just be hear say tho - hopefully.

Yes they are rather good fun. anyway, back on topic, i might know of a nice green160 avaliable in the mean time.

[toxic frog]

i'll probably dip out of ownership for a year (although will be relying on pax' rides from fellow BOLOCS!)... and the jump back in with a S2 135R if wifelet lets me.

having thought about it now, i will take £13k... but not a penny less... i don't need to sell, so i'd be just as happy keeping it...

so there you have it... cross my palm with gold and off you go... i'll even chuck in a blonde wig! (lightly soiled)

ermmm... no...

the article was a general article about the elise... they used my car as the feature car as it tends to 'stand out' more on the page... they were getting across the point that an elise (of standard form) can be bought for £10k...
