Re: Anyone selling anything reasonably interesting?

Well, I can always borrows mum an dads Mondeo estate if needs be heh. It's
very rare I have to put anything in the boot anyway, hence I just want
something fun and exciting :-) Practicality isn't really an issue, and I
don't do a lot of miles, so I'm reasonably confident I could get away with
such a machine for my only car. And as I say, I can always borrow the
Mondeo if I really need to.

That's true but practicallity is going to the supermarket and buying a
few crates of beer, going out with the GF and leaving the car in a
parking lot or out in the street, having no garage and getting in it
during winter etc etc

But I know what you seek when you say "fun and exciting" : I am jsut
back from inspections in Brussels and because it is evening and good
weather, I went with the Elise, no roof on.

Got my picture (well the car actually) taken at the red light by some
girls with their cellphone. Imagine that! I am bloody 40 years old :-)

The Elise with stainless sport exhaust sounds like a bomber in the
tunnels. Yeah, I am beginning to like the Elise a lot...


I like the Clio V6 purely for the crazyness
hehe, and the fact getting in and out is like a normal car. I'm not too
bothered about the fuel costs, cos I say I don't do that many miles anyway,
and it'll require less 'specialist' care I suspect than a VX would - so my
local indepedant garage should be able to handle the servicing.... If not,
RS Tuning in Leeds 70 miles away are specialists with the V6 (which is where
I'd take it for any major work heh).

Everybody is entiteld to his grain of craziness, some of us got a sack
of grains on our head. So go for it. You can whine and complean later
but I assure you : when you get it, it is a special moment.

We'll see, I won't be buying for, probably 2 months anyway. Wait and see
how my back heals, and await that new car post ;-) Then I'll have to pop
over and do a trackday at Spa with you Tom haha :-D


Good, quick and definitif healing wished for your back and whissle when
you are around !
