No, keep the V5 Sti.

I really liked your Foggy STi Ian, a much nicer car than that Legacy.

White is nice but Tiptronic I am not that old yet! New import, Tax?

Huge price difference for two very similar red cars, even with the mileage difference.

The STi owes me nothing, no loans or cash owed.

So, do I:-

1. Big loan - new car and start from scratch?
2. Smaller loan - renew, upgrade and make it special to me, one hit plan?
3. Just tick along and do Q2 over a few months, loads of little plans so increasing costs on seperate items?

I am impatient and am looking at Q2.


Aaaaaaaargh!

Ian you have a really nice car so I would be doing Q2 myself, perhaps a power upgrade and handling (both brakes and suspension).

Or have a look at the Foggy STi you mentioned earlier, your last Foggy was a really nice car and I would have considered buying it myself had I had the funds at the time.

To be honest mate, I really like the Foggy STI's and would consider a swap to one of these myself.

but now you don't need the boot for the dog perhaps a nice Type R from SVA import's

As much as I would like one I still have the grand children to consider. It's bad enough now with my grandson saying "Faster Grandad, faster!".

It would mean starting from scratch again. I think I'll go with Plan 2 and work up. I've still got the new subrame, diff carrier, trailing arms etc to fit. But, the service is next them the body work.

I am now on the roller..........................................no t saying it!
