the frog might be going to a new home
Discussion
have agreed to sell the car to a very nice sounding chap who has had a string of elises/exiges.
he's coming to see it tomorrow with a view to taking it away with him... won't go into any details as yet, out of fairness to him and so as not to tempt fate.
...but it does look like my love affair with green thing is about to come to an end... 18 months and 9k miles of fun & games.
the proceeds will hopefully go into my house-buying fund, but if i end up not needing them, i'll be back in the spring with a s2 (haven't had one yet).
i just need to find something to smoke about in for the winter... can't face having a £500 pug 106 diesel as my only motor... might go for a 6-cylinder 3-series touring perhaps.

I bought a Grand Cherokee 4.0 Petrol (95,000 miles, 96'P') for £2k recently to complement the Elise and the Wife's Figaro. Only intended to use it on dump runs / ikea / days out with more people but I use it a lot. Flipping great - not so good on fuel, but it's fab having heated seats. Easy to work on as well. Changed all discs and brakes myself in well under an hour.
Sad for you that toxic is going, I love the colour when I (briefly) drove it before you - just wasn't the car for me.

Unlucky mate.....I remember we bought our cars roundabout the same time, and yours was one I was looking at. You'll be back soon I'm sure, BUT......
.......just stop this "I'll be getting an S2" business, you big girls blouse....
The whole S2 business has come around due to a sudden realisation that I must be a bit of a geyher... it all makes sense now.. I married my wife because she has short hair (okay, we'll ignore the big boobs for a moment) and wears trousers lots... I therefore decided that I might as well come out of the closet consider joining the rest of the S2 'shirt-lifter' fraternity........just stop this "I'll be getting an S2" business, you big girls blouse....

I told everyone after we spent that weekend together in Lemans, so it's no big surprise. I also told them you were easy.well i've found my winter smoker... just gotta persuade the wife!

the frog has gone!
feel a little numb to be honest.
at least it has gone to a caring home and a very excited purchaser... good luck with it Andy!... i was secretly hoping that the car would break down so the sale would fall through... especially when my mate jonti phoned me this morning to ask whether it was still available... grrrrrrrrr
hey ho... doubtlessly i'll be back with another in the spring... with a s2 (of some description!).
in the meantime, i'm on the hunt for a good clean bmw 323i sport touring (old shape)... found a great one today, but the hpi came back as having been previously written off!... bummer.
