Default Just sold my car.Feeling down!!!

Just sold my S2 half an hour ago.Very sad to see her go.Got the price i wanted for her tho.Enjoyed every minute of driving it.Now i gotta look for a new car.
Such a horrible feeling seeing someone drive off in your rs turbo.

If moneys an issue then get a diesel. If money permits the TD Golfs are fanstastic, as are Focus's and Mondeo's.

The best ? Throttle bodies mate !!!!!

They can be tuned yeah, but TBH as an everyday car an air filter, maybe a Bluefin and an exhaust would be enough

believe me it was a hard decision to decide to put it up for sale.The problem was i constantly seemed to be standing at the optimax pump at my local shell garage.It really was in fantastic condition.That focus is very nice.Trying to persuade the girlfriend on that one might be a bit harder.

Do what we all do - don't tell them, buy it and park it on the drive when you get home
