well...bought my old car back...again...for the last time...thats three times iv bought the thing now haha...dunno what im gonna actually do with it, but i aint selling it this time.....so hello again everyone....

ha ha that a random coop post for ya Hope Solas is reading. What s the story bigbn (to save me doing them serarches and things) how come you bought it three times?

bought it first time about two years ago...18months or so of happy motoring and i had to get shot for personal reasons pdq, so sold it cheap to trader friend....he then sold it to a mutual friend, then was on the verge of buying it back TO BREAK IT!!!..for the engine alone for his alfa track car project..so i stepped in because im really emotionally attached to the damn thing and couldnt bear it....

i then bought an m3 evo...so the coop was sitting unused and my mate kept pestering me for the car..so i let him have it...and in a tale that bears repeating, but maybe not here, of bad debts to bad people for bad things (nowt to do with me..), threats of violence, water leaks and genral bad karma , iv ended up withn it back..again....and this time its staying...even if i dont use it..its now my toy..and its staying in the pram haha

haha good one. i think I rread your water leaks thread (leaking from the water rail) good to see your sticking with it

goes to garage tomorrow to have that fixed..actually considering stripping it out, upgrading suspension and bushes etc.. and keeping it as a track toy...

Surely must be some sort of record! Congratulations on your purchase

well i really regretted selling it..both times haha..and id been scanning the clasifieds for a nice one. well, nicer than the one i had anyhow..an le or plus....but in reality, better the devil you know, so here we are again..bottom line, i know my old car inside out..i know wht it still needs and i know its been looked after and that its oily bits are in super condition....so, thinking that if i saw a 20vt advertised for £690..(cos thats what iv bought it back for...)..id definitely buy it as a cheap, loveable fast car, and probabbly get my fingers burnt cos it wouldnt necesarrily be a good un a this sub 1k level, it seemed stupid not to buy one i know to be a good un and save all the heartache....im just not sure wehter to keep it pretty and use it as a daily again, or strip it, cage it, spend something on the suspension nd brakes and use it as a road legal track car..never done a track day and it appeals...
