Default Im keeping the S

Well after huffing puffing debating whether or not to get rid of the S its staying.

There virtually nothing wrong with it, there are 1 or 2 cosmetic things. If the engine does go pop ill get a new one, but i rarely go over 4000rpm these days.

I had some annoying and silly people offering me silly part ex's, when i specifically only mentioned one car.

Im not as skint as I thought id be after the house, and i only use it 2 days a week due to my Gf's diesel.

So im quite chuffed.

Does that mean you are no longer selling the gears

Although i can't say I blame you for keeping the S!

Good for you AJ

I often mull over selling the 'S' but apart from the fact that I can't be arsed to take all the bits off, I can't think of anything I'd rather have ! - Within reason

Just sent off all my bits and donor diff for improved final drive fettling so hopefully will have that on in a couple of weeks

Pleased your sticking with it mate

Andy

I too have got as far as getting an ad up, and having someone come round to view (moonmonkey as it happens) who couldn't believe I was selling such a nice car. I then had a moment of clarity and realised he was right.

You've made the right decision.

Nice one with the gears, your S will be super to drive now!.

This was also one factor, i couldnt really think of anything else to replace it with, of course cash was one issue but i still really like the car.
