Dave,

I'm not a million miles from there. Got to say I've never heard of them in the past and I've lived around here for 12 years.

Epping Green is a tiny village, I thought it was going to be another showroom nearby who deal in high end cars (Porsche, Audi, BMW's etc).

If you want me to go and have a look let me know

Sorry Dave, ive not heard of them either. The road that it is on is in Harlow nowhere near Epping. Perhaps his trying to sound more upmarket than what he is! Its just a residential area although i dont know where the "farm" is. I guess its just an individual trader using his home address.

I won't be, I have had enough of them now and don't like the hatch so can't see a return. Unless they bring out something really special in a few years time.

Plus saving for something really nice in a couple of years time.

JPS doesn't have any sports cars on that list.

Dave, your car is great, who cares its a scooby, first and foremost its the best car your gonna afford for what you'll sell it for! unless you need the money for something really important, keep it.

David just hire something really really crap for a couple of weeks then you'll be itching to get back in the bug.

Agree with the above comments David, why bother to get rid of the bug to get something that will handle worse, accelerate slower, and generally be a more boring car to own. Why not keep the bug then continue to save for the extra special car in the future ???

On a serious not, if your saving for something better, why not just keep what you've got till that time will save all that money on changing, then changing back to a scoob, then changing to whatever in the future... at the end of the day, until you get that dream car you'll never be happy and want to spend money on the interim car.

Let face it whatever car you get, mondano etc, you'll refurb the wheels black, add some flaps, change the exhaust so you can hear it....(ST170) etc, etc so you'll be wasting more money long term

keep what you've got and what currently puts a smile on your face, be firm and don't spend any money on it (MODs) unless you have to
