yeah!
me and the missus both have houses/and morgages,so my house is on the market,thus getting rid of £450 a month morgage,and leaving me about £35000 in the clear from equity
so,thinking of ploughing £12-£15 grand into a new motor,and the rest is going with the missus equity(around £90,000 in total) toward a bigger and shinier house
but after watching a place in the sun yesterday,i may be tempted to buy smaller over here,and grab a nice 4 bed farm house in rural france for £65,000 .
sweet as fooooook

If you do one thing in life fella,make sure you drive on the french motorways
They are total bliss compared to our's
I will say one good thing for the french,there motorway manners are superb,they drive in the inside lane,pull out to overtake and then go straight back in again,so the arrogant english pig in his big blue gay sue-bar-ee can overtake
apart from that,the are **** bandits the lot of em!

I aint ever driven in any other counrty apart from here
we are off to Florida for the honeymoon, and we have a car hired for the fortnight which i will be the sole driver of (its what you get for being an old bugger) so it should be interesting to be driving on the opposite side of the road and on the wrong side of the car.
Should be fun

I dont know mate
Maybe with a bigger spoiler and splitter, colour coding etc.
But then that would be a whole heap more money to spend just to get your wheels to suit the car better.
Dont feel bad tho mate, if you already have them and you like them, as i said before, go for it.

Danny,
You will love Florida if you haven't been before... standard of living...jesus..
I had a Chrysler Seville Convertible for a fortnight, steered like a tanker but looked nice and when its that hot with the roof down, you cruise round corners... which is handy in a boat!
Nice one on the French house mark...you lot are being a bit short sited as we could all go over and visit on the way to the ring, gatebil, Monte Carlo, Le Mans etc... Go Marko!
Type 25 and a smaller house I think is required!!, and buy your young un a go kart to try and become the next Alonso, or a set of golf clubs... or some other 'look after my retired parent' career!

Looks nice
Very standard though, Bang your wheels on and an STi Spoiler (why has it not already got one , unless bugeye STi's didnt come with high level spoilers as standard) and it will look 
Best colour too

When the day comes to finally grow up and keep up with the big boys
, a black bug eye Sti, silver alloys (maybe like mine already) with splitter and morrettes will be high on my list of possibles.Edit - Yeah, exactly like that one. Silver wheels though and a splitter, would look the doggies nuts i think. And of they are going for that price already, i may be thinking about one sooner than i thought.

Thanks for the response guys I did feel I had made a large f*** up 
but oh well live and learn. Just need to find some nice anthracite wheels
. Bug eyes have to say I prefer them over the more recent face lifts (think I'm in for a slating now
