she is not impressed that im was planing on spending £££s to fix the scooby to get it to a good spec and she thinks im mad with the money that iv spent on cars over the last two years,
so to keep her happy im cutting my losses after four weeks of owning it

so will be going for sale with a knocking bottom end, bloody women

its the fastest car iv had yet and would have been nice to put some money into it but now il be losing quite abit now

will prob get another one at some point tho

 

Sounds like you bought a duffer anyway.

 

Last year I had to make the same decision. I was ready to sell and make a loss. The wife let me get it rebuilt. When I get it back it will be 2.5 litre, 6 speed box, larger turbo, larger injectors, FMIC etc etc.

I was lucky to have a supportive wife, two very supportive friends and a well-known trader on here who is rebuilding the car. Thanks Harvey

 

pics and loccation please m8

 

dont get me wrong shes great, very supportive but in the last two year iv spend £10k + just on modding add the price of the cars that around £15k if i did rebuild this that would be another £10k plus £2800 i paid for the car over £25k i see where she is coming from but i just love my cars, working on the modding ect

I wish I had got rid of mine after 4 weeks of ownership, it would of saved me a friggin fortune

 

so i gather im the only one itching to spend on mine

 

Looks nice. Definately worth repairing. I'd just sort it and sod what she thinks.

 

put the car on piston heads at 4pm was sold at 8pm, kind of be sad to see it go, well at that price anyway

 

What do you reckon she's cost you over the last two years??
I bet she didnt ask you that.........

 

i hope hope you were refering to the car and not the girlfriend

 

Out of interest, what did it go for?
