slight hiccup.  as the garage have 2 locations, supposably somone else took a deposit on it earlier than myself,

deal still stands on my car though.  going back up there to look at a few other cars

26 

Fook me you have had a harder life than me. I'm 32 and you look older than me 

Belated Hoppy Birfdee to you

that right mate, by the age of 27 ill be the same rank as you .  god i love my tradestream lol.

i know what you mean about the looking older thing though, i had a hard paper round lol. plu joining up at 16 doesnt really help lol

as you mightknow ive been looking at selling up for ages, but change my mind a few times.

I recently was looking into getting a Mondeo St220, however i was slightly peeved that the insurance for a £5000 standard 220Hp ST220 was £45/month more than a stage 2+ vRS with loads of modifications worth £10k.  they also refused to add my wife to the insurance for anything less than £200 a year

anyway was looking about another garage and they have offered me £8700 for my car and they wil do all the servicing, brakes and tyres off their own back,  so realistically they have offered me £10000 for my car, which im over the moon with.  

Ive just put a deposit down on a 55 plate mondeo TDCI130 ghia X.  Shocking i hear you say, however it leaves me with just about enough money to buy something like a clio 172 for track days.  which to be fair was my original plan.

Should be in possession of the car at the end of july, as i'm going away next week with work and cant sort it out sooner.

cant believe ive just read that!

epic fail!

Yeah but when i look at my paycheck each month i'll take comfort in the knowledge its more than you at the same rank and i earnt it

I joined at 16 too and had a hard paper round (up a hill in Beirut  ) Some of us obviously don't bother with stress

A lucky escape.  Get yourself down the news agents and put some numbers on too - Seems your luck is in!!

was waiting for a comment like this.  ive just had a look at a pug 306 gti-6.  its abit over priced considering the condition, and hes not budgiing, so ive left my details with him if he changes his mind.  this would be the perfect run around/toy, until i find another family motor.  then i could strip it out and track it

[vRS Carl]

Why not get a Clio 182?

[Janner_Sy]

they are on my radar as well carl. although im looking more into the 172 cups as they dontcome with abs/aircon and are alot ligher tham the other renault sport clios
