The time has come for me and the old girl to part company.
The ad in Top Marques has gone off today and will appear in the issue of the 7th April.
I'm gutted beyond belief and she's not even gone yet.

Ho, with a capital hum
astraboy.

no, he's been cool about it, its just shes too expensive and parts a sooooo pricey its enough to make an astraboy weep.
my immediate plans are to sell her then hve a bit of a cry.

As for future plans, I'm looking east.

exactly the same layout as the 3-door, but 4k cheaper and I can leave it on the street.

Two points of confusion:
a) Ford. "Top Marque"?
b) Parts are so expensive. Do you expect Skyline parts to be cheaper (or is that a pic of a 200SX -- it's so small I can't tell)?

<a) Ford. "Top Marque"?>
heh, it JUST qualifies. Ford Cosworths are allowed in the extreme power section, with a minimum value of 8000.00 so in she went. Besides, I compared the autotrader with TM and there were more 3-doors in there so I figured if people were looking for one they'd look in there.

I don't really know why anyone buys either -- I'd rather search on the Autotrader website.

Good luck. 200SX (that's a pic of an S14a, isn't it?) is a fine car.
