TBH matey i cant have 2 vehicles anymore, now im back at my rents an both my sister are driving there just aint room anymore on the drive (well this is, it just means constantly moving cars around even tho we have a roll on/roll off drive)

02 reg Corsa C van comes on Wednesday next week (for work).

Only buying it as its at a price that really is to good to say no.

Then I may think about buying some random motor to mess with.

Got a LOVELY R26 here with your name all over it ;)

Got an S2 Exige shaped itch i really wanna scratch before kiddys come along!!!

Mike
08-09-09, 03:34 PM
LOL @ Stoo haha selling already.

I think ill stick it out with this van for a while, slap some Irmscher goodies on it, pimp it about an sell for some profits.

I happen to have a random 2000cc turbocharged engine kicking about at the mo tho so may do something with that to.

I can safely say, a part of me inside has died with that car today :( got me through some serious phycological sh!t that motor.....

Oh well... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyYZUhSeRYc)

dude, stuff the turbo motor in the van!!!!

The whole point of getting rid of the Neva was to stop funking about chopping an changing engines Sloth.

Stoo
08-09-09, 08:40 PM

If someone offered me the money for it i would though. SO i can scratchy Itchy sooner!

Stoo
10-09-09, 08:45 PM
When you ready, My R26 has your name all over it!

I'm contemplating buying a weekend toy too, as well as the meg as a daily

Mike
10-09-09, 08:53 PM
lol at you, youve only just bought it lol

Id love it Stoo just now ive lost the house & the now ex missus (edit:defo a good thing) & am temp back at my rents ( :( ) im quite limited to having a fleet of cars again.

Once i get my @ss in gear an move out though, that'll soon change :)

Stoo
10-09-09, 09:03 PM
I know i've only just got it.

I did say i was gonne keep it until i was debt free in about 3yrs and then we were gonna have a baby, so it would be 4dr time (FD2 or RS4)

Buuuut, I've been told by the captain (Mrs Stoo) That once we are married and have moved into married quarters in Nov next year (Saving AT LEAST £800 a month!!!!), Im allowed to get something a little more extreme until baby comes along!! (Or unless i can convince her to get a 4dr and let me keep the extremo!)

So, a 911 or Exige is on the cards, but i have to keep the meg til then :D :D

At the moment though, I'm trying desperately to stop myself buying another nova!!

^i can believe it Stoo, my dad has told me countless times how better off he was when he was in the mob!

You not looked into the Tax exemption deals servicemen get on brand new motors Stoo? Always advertised on the back of Solidier magazine (surely some one on the base will have a copy of that knocking about?)

Stoo
10-09-09, 09:13 PM
I get a copy every month thru my pongo counterparts here.(657AAC)

I have looked into it, but never really been in the position to buy brand new for some reason. Good deals to be had howere, up to 25/30% off brand new fords/Vauxhalls/saab/bmw etc :D

Mike
10-09-09, 09:22 PM
We get a copy here at home, my dads got every issue from No.1!!

If you can afford it there a good buy yea, my dads first Meriva (1.6i Life model) set him back a shave over £8k new, then he sold it, an bought another on a 54 reg (in 2006) with 32k for £7995 lol lol lol

EDIT: 657 is Odiham isnt it?

Stoo
10-09-09, 09:29 PM
Its a damn good deal (If you can afford it)
