Bus driver in Edinburgh, still working. Bandit screen closed, seats closest to my cab gets taped off and use hand gel at every terminal. Buses are empty 99% of the time, no such thing as rush hour now. Other than the severe lack of toilets to use I'm enjoying it.

Yeah its hit and miss, I have been quite lucky when selling my cars they usually went within a couple of weeks its just having the right mindset to deal with the chancers, I usually try to put disclaimers on my adverts saying low ballers will be ignored - but equally be open minded, when a chap with a strong Irish accent called me and said he would fly over from Ireland to buy my Celica GT4 at the asking price I was skeptical, anyway a week later there he was in Richmond paying the cash into my account and driving it back home 

Had someone today ask if i would take £10,000 for it. Its up for sale for £15,500. I now see why people use places like we buy any car now.

Bad time of year to try and sell. Plenty of time wasters arranging visits then not turning up though 

 

 

 

Yeah know the feeling. Currently got my Subaru wrx sti up for sale. Very little interest and those that have contacted me have made silly offers.

Sold my Zed and went Geerman, E46 M3 in gorgeous Phoenix yellow, lovely looking car but just never grew to love it as much as my Zed, where I spent a wee fortune modding.

Swapped back to Jap, but this time got a R33 Skyline GTst, love the lightness and the way it delivers its power compared to the Zed and have started down the modding route with it, R34 turbo, 650cc injectors z32 maf, nistune ecu, and new coilovers. Hoping to get the love for the R33 as much as I had for my Zed. Really only sold it because I wanted something boosted, and if the previous owner and member on here hadn't pestered me to sell it to him I'd probably still have her and stabled her with the R33. Do regret letting her go but was desperate for boost and theres few (in my opinion) more iconic boosted cars that even come close to the nissan line, as said above, S12 etc really float my boat, love 90's Jap, not just Nissan, the 90's really brought some great cars to the fore. Got to say though I love old fords too. I'd love to think I'd have another 350 /370 Zed in a few years but it'll have to come boosted, dont think I'd go back to a NA one again and if I had £12k sitting about I'd buy Scobie's green machine right now.

Really surprised that hasn't sold yet.

Never owned a Nissan and only on this forum due to my dad. I do love a white 370z nismo. They just lack that bit extra power that would get me to seriously buy one.

Thats a lot of car for not much money

Looking to also get back in a e92 m3 after the year but with the price of the F80s coming down to not much more than a low mileage e92 my head is starting to turn a little. However the V8 has a grip on me, the sound of it with the 4 pipe mod was incredible.

2 car is defo the way forward. Sold my e92 M3 and got a diesel insignia, went from £80pw to £20 pw in fuel. But after a few months i was bored to tears so went and bought a 2015  wrx sti as a weekend toy. Now i actually enjoy driving the insignia, knowing if i want power its sat at home waiting on me.

I so wanted one of these but I couldn't afford the insurance on it(26 years ago now) and I ended up in a XR4X4 instead...but it was the Fiesta RS that I really wanted though. 

The demand is there for them to bring one out. Think the problem is that it will have a massive effect on focus RS sales and they can't be allowing that.

Fiesta RS

What gains will it see with a remap? Being n/a can't be much id imagine.

If you don't mind horrendous fuel cost a DCT e92 is a brilliant daily. Comfortable, easy in traffic, plenty room for tall drivers. Touch of a button it turns into an animal.

My Peugeot 306 did something similar. When idealing the revs would dip and sometimes stall. No idea what caused it however.

Shame these hadn't arrived in time for the trip

Great trip, despite the weather, with great people. Hope you all had a safe trip back south.

I’m on a few Bmw forums and heard about the meet through a member on m3 cutters forum, based near Manchester, Been to a few track days recently as a spectator so might go for an E90 with the DCT when funds allow. 

I sold my e92 m3 last year, unfortunately. By far the best car I've owned. The DCT is fantastic bit of kit, think throwing the keys to my dad (irn bru) set him up for when he bought his e46.

The mrs has the 595. Great wee cars, sound good too. Just not powerful enough for me but does her well.

She can come back if she likes IMO. The people on the streets will deal with her quick enough and I'm fine with that.

Two little pea shooter exhaust tips look pathetic 

think this will be it then? Still good numbers and variety of cars
