    I've already told Karl by PM he should keep this. I've offered to buy some of his non-fitted bits to help fund repairs. Sure a few others will too Karl

    Keep the super, keep it special, even without mods it's a rarity and a gem.
    Have questions about performance upgrades and ECU tuning? Before PM'ing me, Check this thread first

    Keep it. That's a rare beasty indeed.
    TCL and EM light I'm fairly sure is an easy fix.
    Keep going chap, nearly complete.

    Is it frustration with the car or is it time to move on to something else? You have an S6 already so what car will you get?

    If it's any consolation, i was thinking of selling up too but a recent drive convinced me change my mind. Plus, a Nissan Leaf might save me money but i just couldn't do it!

    I was thinking of selling mine at the beginning of this year as a part of "be sensible" new year resolution , but just can't part with it and struggle to find a worthy replacement so decide to stick with it for a bit longer, regardless that ppl still sending me PMs with offers.

    thank you all for the touching comments i will always be in the back ground somewere i'm not leaving ya can't get rid of me that easy
    i am selling the super for a number of reasons in prioity order
    1st been a business opertunity
    2nd i want to drive my van instead as it's a mobile advertisment
    3rd it requires a few pounds and a few hours spending on it which i need to focus elsewere
    this is the hardest decision i have made in a very long time its also going to be the most emotional moment i will encounter for a long time if i could afford to sheet her up and spend the time and money she deserves i would this is the main reason i would prefere a club member to take her on the very very last thing i want to do is sell it ebay

    At the end of the day it's just a thing Karl and clearly you've got other priorities and if you can use it as a vehicle (see what I did there?) to assist you in other areas then go for it

    You will not name a price so difficult to understand why you should complain about breaking it...

    Sellers should name a price and then haggle...
