I might well do that.......

Only issue would be I'd probably only get scrap value for the Terzo after the Mrs has finished with it......

BB........

Why on earth do you want to sell her ?? I know you've had clutch problems, but not all relationships run smoothly... hey, I'm still in the Honeymoon stage with my car .... just waiting for something to go bang, and when it does, I'll get her fixed (maybe even m..mm....mmm....modify!) and carry on from where I left off !!!

DON'T DO IT!!! (unless your going to get another Scooby????)

don't do it. the amount of times i've thought about it and then managed to get around selling it.

although that said have mine up for sale at the moment. BUT only because a mate is selling his one cheap and i can start modding all over again. if i can't get hold of his one though mine is staying put.

out of the 2 it'd have to be the evo. the e36 m3 is quick but very wett on the handling and ride front compared to the scoobie. still fast as funk though!

Mmmmmm.... EVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Evo will be more costly to run though, won't it? I wanted an Evo 6, but couldn't afford it, so looked at Evo 4, but then got persuaded to go for a Scooby instead, and haven't looked back . Would still love an Evo though.... just don't tell my Scooby !!!

I still think you should keep the Scooby!

Peter at Day's says hi, and has that "info" you wanted

If the RB320 is so great? Why are they around 100 not sold?

100% correct Tiny... It's a real shame the extras were not std as it's not special enough (in my opinion)

No your not alone mate!!!!!

It's a nice STI. I think considering what it represents... it need to be a lot more special.

Incoming!!!

BB.... you'll be in trouble !!! I think you should just stay at home, and not venture out whilst your going through this modding stage!! Its way too dangerous for you to be looking around at ESB !!!!!
