Yes, sad-day today, the beast has gone, BUT atleast it,s gone to my Nephew so it,s still in the family.. he,s getting a well sorted car there.

I just fancied a break away from cars for a while and have some future plans etc, BUT i,ll be back with something special again that,s for sure.

Trouble is i,ve got a few show tickets now and only a Suzuki Vitara jeep to go in....

Here she is in her glory....................


Enjoy it Gareth,,,,,and look after it.

 

bloody hell, that didnt last long!! Good luck with whatever you come back with, Evo again????? Or sticking with the scoobys??

 

Fair play fella, is a sweet 'R

 

Taylor,

Nothing mate for a while, lack of interest in CARS at the min and had a few other personal things etc.

I know it,s in good hands now...

If i,d of kept it i,d of only ended up chucking £££ into and going forged etc, you know what i,m like..

Time for a few holidays etc now, **** cars for abit...

 

I am sure you will appear again either here or the mlr in the not to distant future.

All the best with what ever you decide to do.

 

Paul,

I,ll still be on here hovering around matey....

Defo WONT be another Evo when i do get a car that,s for sure...



Maybe a nice Cossie RS500, always wanted one of these babies...

 

Pete that was quick

You can still go to the shows as a passenger

He's got himself a good car there for sure

 

Pete I have never had a cossie but that one in the picture is stunning

I always loved the three door

 

I'll look after it matey, don't worry. It's always here for when you need to release some stress!!!

Just like to say a quick hello to everybody on here by the way and hope to see a few of you at some local meets, weather permitting. (car is going in the garage and won't be coming out unless the weathers dry! lol).

 

Kin hell Pete, so its either an RS or another Spec C then?

Tony

 

Bloody hell mate, at least you know it's gone to a good home mate

 

Ha ha, you,ve joined then?? lol...

Pleasure matey, just look after it for me and i,ll be over every other Sunday for my fix...







Tony,


Yes mate, i,d love a nice mint 500, trouble is they demand silly money..

Spec C i,ve had as you know, would i have another?? well you know me and the answer is yes...

I,m just going to step back for a few months as said though, still do the shows etc then see what car bites me on the *** to buy it.......

I,d like that forged RA, but i think 10k is alittle steep although it,s a cracker..

 

Not many 500s about now more a collectors car than a drivers car.but still a great car.if you lose the splitters on the front you will then find out how much downforce the rear wing has,like pulling a wheelie at 150 no steering.

 

Lol,

Stuart, i know all about that fella, i,ve had about 6 cossies before. 3 of which were your normal 3drs, two had RS500 bumper, rear spoiler etc, i remember doing over 150mph clock speed, so probably about 135-140 real speed and i thought the car was going to lift form the ground.. great fun though, that was near on 500bhp too that car, i do love my RWD Cossies, but as said Stuart, it,s finding a good one these days that,s not had 10000 owners with a sun-roof in the floor... RUST.......

 

Believe there are just under 100 left world wide to find a good one is hard as no body is selling them,price will only go up in years to come. Great investment for the people which own them. true classic

 

A sad day ete
But Im sure you'l be back with something awesome

ps welcome Gaz

 

Same boat Pete. Bought the Hawkeye STI in August 08 and had sold it by Jan 09 due to lack of use. Thout I'd be happy with a nice RB5 but only had that six weeks and sold it on. Like you I've decided to take a step back and leave things for a few months and I'll stick to using my Pug 306 work horse. Certainly missed the car when we had decent weather the other day but guess I've hit that same stage of not being that bothered about fast cars at the moment. Hope it changes but who knows..........at least the cash is in the bank and I didn't lose too much money on either of the last two.

Good luck with what ever you decide. That forged one is tickling my fancy as well tbh but must resist. Bet you'll have bought it next week

 

Don,t tempt me RLE....

No seriously, i,m jsut having a breather for a few months.. (famous last words.)

 

Thought exactly the same thing Pete it may be a nice car but its not 10k's worth with 48k on the clock for 330bhp, damn mine was only 5k with 27k on the clock but unknown internals (probably standard STI) and 5k aint worth that tbh your nearly into spec c territory for that money, and i know which one i would have

Tony

 

How is your car Tony?? all ok mate??

 

She's getting there slowly need the remap next and then just a rocker cover needs doing, everything else after that should be cosmetic, and i want to bin the HKS filter for a standard airbox as well as dumping the dv for a standard item
Then its the brakes.... damn the list is endless

Tony

 

Take was quick m8, only seen you sunday lol you said you was thinking about selling it. Take care m8 and i see you at a meet sometime soon

Stuart.

 

Had it near on 5 months Stu, long time for me... still in the family though so that,s all-good..........


Yes mate, i,ll still be around for sure............

 

Bloody hell Pete, I was only talking to you on Sunday, and you was telling me how good of a car it is!!!! Didnt think it would be sold 2 days later!!!!


Ive said ive wanted a break from cars plenty of times, then you find yourself looking on pistonheads, and the next thing you got a new car sitting on your drive!!!!

p.s I know someone with 2 RS500's, the lucky sod!!!! not to mention 3 cosworth powered rs turbo's, 500bhp escort cos, and a saph cos!!!!
