Cool FAO Sg72

I passed you in Haddington this morning at 11:00 - get that car cleaned buddy (front mount look )

I would have waved but I doubt you'd have 'got it' given I was driving a green 406 saloon

I've got a back up offer from a guy down south of £7k which I will take if need be A subaru dealer in Falkirk want's to see it and is happy to pay £7350 if its as described so fingers crossed. I'm now at the stage where I just want rid of it so its off my mind and I can focus on other things in my life other than cars. Why are you selling yours? You've just got it 'going'

Hope you get a good Sale SB. I'm sure it's worth every penny.

My car's now at its best due to the correction of some substandard work by my previous "Garage".

Unfortuanatly due to financial constraints.(Lorna's losing her job.)
Will have to make the biggest sacrifice. It's been a major part of my life for 2yrs.
But I cannot see how I can keep it for much more than the next couple of months.

BTW. You never did have that testride

BTW. Wasn't it nice of the BMW M3 driver to give us a wave. After he thought he could monster us but found his car slowly going in reverse.(Twice)

Had to say it made my day

Wonder how much different it would have been on the backroad Home?

Once had a Guy banging his head on the stearing wheel of his new Jag SType R.
After i sailed past him.(Think he'd hit limiter) This was before major mods

He'd have given up after the 2nd bend - there really would have been no point as nothing without 4wd and big power was keeping up IMHO!!

I'll try and let the crying M3 owner that comes into the garage that is "OK to have yer *** handed to ya from that scoob" lol
Seriously though I cant imagine just how fast that bad boy is, Ive been in E46 M3's and know that they are a weapon, far faster than my humble WRX ( yeh I know that aint hard )
Now you must understand that I dont condone this type of behaviour though
