Sarnie

My Lancer = Sarnie correct. Doesn't matter if your only paying £300 insurance, £150 tax and getting 500 miles to a take........when all's said and done its still an oil burner! My Alfa GT JTDm is a great car too, but I certainly don't enjoy driving it like I did my zeds, the G or the M3 for obvious reasons. It's practical and economical, which is Diesel's niche if you ask me. Not two seater soft tops.....

As I don't have a zed, I'm not comparing it to one as such. Even just driving a diesel compared to petrol is completely different. You have to change up so early. I've never driven ANY diesel that I would consider fun to drive. It's a chore. Soft top driving is all about indulging the senses with sun and exhaust notes etc. Diesels have there place as dailly hacks where the 56 mpg is warranted but a two seater drop top is like trying to have your cake and eat it. I think you will become very bored very quickly of showing everyone how many miles you got out of your last tank of diesel

Because it sounds like @*!#. If MPG is even a factor you shouldn't be buying a drop top. Think of the extra weight

It was.

To be honest, from memory, I think they are sideways facing rather than front facing. For when you are edging out of blind junctions etc....

Front camera's

These remind me so much of R35's. I know they are awesome and I really want to love them; but I just can't. I look at them and there isn't even a slight flicker of 'want'.

I hadn't even bought my first zed at that point so I didn't know the aural pleasures that are out there Now, I couldn't think of anything worse than having the roof down listening to a transit van diesel chucking soot out of the rear end There's only two reasons to buy a soft top in my opinion, the sun and the noise. We now get **** all sun so driving a diesel soft top sounds like the worst idea in the world to me

Going to look at one is not the same as nearly buying one. I'd never driven (or more importantly heard) a diesel at that point and would never have bought it if I'd actually got to drive it

Thought I had you busted for a moment there! You gotta get up earlier than that kid viewtopic.php?f=21&t=7950&hilit=bmw+3+series

Nope.

Diesel soft top??????? WTF!!!

Yup, now get those horrid concrete wheels off permanently

10k a year

at last

Retractable cubby's were for the MY03 cars only, and were made for the cars with the sat nav. Non sat nav cars got the normal door. MY06 cars onwards had sat nav's which had no doors at all meaning the screen was permanently on show. /geek

Wonder what these are

Give him a roasting

Sorry, I really am, but this whole torch carrying thing has got to be the most tedious thing in the world right now, next to 50 shades of Grey..... Keyser knows I love him

This may seem a little daft but i don't think i'd want to sell my pride and joy on a forum like drift works. 'Take care of her,' and all that... Who cares? Once I've got the money I couldn't care what happens to it

I don't give a @*!#...............

If it didn't sell then either; it was priced too high ad was crap pics were crap Almost every single time I've sold a car the buyer has pretty much just phoned up, asked to see it and bought it. The main reason I feel is that my ads answer every single question the buyer could possibly ask including pictures from every angle including interior, under the bonnet and boot. I'll detail the full service history including when the last one was and what was done and also when the next one is due and which one it is. Cover all consumables to include their current status and when they were last changed such as clutch, tyres and brake discs and pads. I'll also detail things such a tyre tread depth, known faults with the car and whether my car has had them sorted, tax and mot cost and length left. Include where you bought it and when and also why your selling it and what your moving on to. Pictures are key. Don't use crappy locations, I'm easily put off by shitty pictures. If I was buying a zed I would want to know; Do the axles click? Does the Bose jump? Are the RAYS corroded? When was the clutch changed? Have the services been carried out correctly? Are the interior plastics scratched to death? Does the boot shut itself on your head when you open it? Is the front end pebble dashed? So put it all in your ad And use proper grammer and language. Txt spk is gonna send me running!
