I'm worried that there won't be enough metal left for another wash .
Yeah, but they depreciation is Leg Endary!

If you fancy the RHD JDM Yo! look again, come over & pick one up for a few buttons and pennies.

Depreciation is pointless getting hung up about. I've given up with it

How are the inner of the front arches on that? The one I saw was shot. It needed a complete sand down, respray on the inner lips to do it cheaply but 2 new wings to do it properly. I would have probably bought it were it not for that. Got me thinking of where else tin worm lived and without a ramp, I couldn't check.

I think the definition of a beater for you guys is different to mine!

My idea of a winter beater is a car less than £500 that will last until the temperature rises.

Christ a B6 S4 as a beater....do you guys have Caviare for breakfast served by your personal butlers?!!

I'm not bothering with the b6. Going b8. Don't trust such old metal with my fois gras.
