Thanks, Smokin.................................. :(

Sorry to hear that John, this is the same VR4 that you had at the Donnington mini meet - it was a nice car then, and I like the sound of the mods since.

Good luck with the sale, fingers crossed for a change in fortunes for you.

[dux_2002]

you can go right off some people you know /Grrr
what the hell do you do for a living to be able to afford 4 250+bhp cars at 20 ? mafia hit man ? space shuttle piliot ? bank robber ?

[dux_2002]

do you get different lights depending how hard you corner?

im an accountant by trade, but i also sell car parts (200sx parts) as and when i can get hold of them. im hoping to have an evo 6 by the time im 22 :D

the cars arnt the expensive thing........ its the insurance /Grrr

i have 2 years no claims and god knows how many miles under my belt and they still charge me more than my ister who past her test a week ago (and already crashed) /Grrr

[dux_2002]

hopfully so mate :) it is a very boring job, and therfore i buy crazy cars to compensate :D this will be my 1st 4wd car ever (and 1st auto aswell)

so it will be an experience driving the 250 miles home :)


i should be able to chuck it about a bit more than my rwd at the moment :D

[WildCards]

No, you're wrong mate.....its the fuel /help

[dux_2002]

No, you're wrong mate.....its the fuel /help

aggreed actually, its always something i overlook though as its only £20-£30 at a time (although it will add up to a few thousand in a year i would of thought) :'(

[WildCards]

You're not going to fill up then?

I simply cannot get more than 16mpg unless i'm on the motorway. £50 generally sees me 150-180 miles. I did £200 on fuel week before last, which was a little scary. You WILL question your purchase once the fuel bills start to eat away at your expendable income (unless you got pots of money), but everytime you start her up, you'll forget about all that.

Spose if your gonna get an EVO you'll have to get used to the fuel costs though.

[dux_2002]

im used to fuel bills already £60 in my 200 sees me about 240 miles and thats combined town/motorway :( hense my 2nd car, a pug diesel that takes all of my work miles, its paid for itself and the insurance time and time over, and ive only had it a few months!

i only drive my 200 once a week, mabe twice, depending on what im doing.
leaving it a while makes you appretiate (sp) it more when you do drive it i find aswell :)

i never fill up for some reason no, no idea why though. ill fill her up and try and get her home on 1 tank though.

[WildCards]

I've got a pug diesel for my day to day too, great ain't they!

Yep, you do appreciate your car when you drive it, specially after driving a snotter all the time.
