Yup, but really needed to sell. Will be getting another, and better one sometime. Had the chance to buy mine back for under £9k after getting £11k for it just 4 months earlier, but it just isn't the right time yet. I wouldn't have time to enjoy it and need to relieve myself of some/all of my mortgage before I get quite so frivolous again.

I swapped my mint condition MY97 UK turbo wagon for a Seat Leon Cupra, had the horrible feeling i'd done the wrong thing on the way home from the garage! 3 weeks later i swapped the Leon for a MY99 Uk turbo but still wish i hadn't swapped my wagon.

I sold my lovely 99 WRX ra v-limited a few weeks ago cause of pressures from the missus. I spent a week sulking around with the intention of buying the obligatory Golf TDI, but then i happened upon a beautiful S202 and thought f**k it, and i bought it. It is currently being registered so i should get it soon and i still havent told the missus ha ha
What the hell, i m taking her to Hawaii in a couple of weeks so she wont have a chance to complain.

My other half did that...personally I was tempted but stuck to the Scoobs! Have just bought a Hawkeye and am sooo glad I didn't stray!

Have a lovely 350 BHP STI for sale if you wish to repent!!!

Sold my V1 STi Wagon, was as rare as hens teeth, worst thing I ever did, knew i'd done the wrong thing as soon as I watched it drive away.
Fuel bills were killing me at the time though

Im on my 5th Scob now, I keep selling them cos they cost alot (and the pressure from the WIFE !) then when driving around in what every car ive got after (normally a MK4 Golf) I wish i had'nt got rid of them, they put a smile on my face when im driving and so far no other car has done that and to me thats whats its all about.

I sold mine and haven't looked back, bought Impreza's for donkeys years wearing WR blue tinted spectacles until the day I bought Audi Driver magazine and took them off to read it and decided upon a test drive the following week. Wouldn't even bother stepping into a Subaru dealership again, especially when they bring out plug ugly hatchbacks.

Audi: A dedicated magazine once a month (Audi Driver, look out for it at your newsagent), a unique channel on Sky (884), what more could the enthusiat ask for?

Oh, and Audi send me a magazine free every quarter

Motoring bliss.......

Yes they could fall in love and then be blissfully bored together in their dull but very well engineered sofa for the autobahn with the 4 ring pieces.
