not giving up,just i spend soooooouch time in switch's cossie and if i spend the rest of me money on the cabrio and i cant keep up then imgona be pissed off

oh and tbh the cabrio aint the best for the baby seat ( Elise is kicking me back seatin the run about )

think i need a bigger car

withall the money ive spent on it i would actually be loosing money and he offered to buy the engine off me,hes been bugging me ages and came up to me last night with 3k and said sell me it and ill collect now

i said no and now he said 4k and i help finish it off (i dont think i can do that tbh, aint got the heart) so 3.5kand hedont ever show methe car again

oh and the camtiming ect wasdoneby paul hills ( eventually )

mmmm then my next issue is what cossie to buy or do i save a bit more and get R32 ????????

ginge mate, as much as i'd love to see your cabriolet done (as it will be very quick) i think its in your best interests to get a different car.

i think you should seriously consider a sierra...

saph cos if you can afford it (remmbering it might break) or an XR4x4 if you cant afford the car but still want something that does 0-60 in less than 10secs. i wouldnt go XR4i as it will be a money pit.

i think you'd really like an XR4x4 twin turbo, but again, if it breaks, youre fucked... proper money pits!

Cabrio's are heavy, to be honest a RST shell with prob 20-30bhp less could keep up with it, hate to say it but true

Hope you eventually LOL make the right decission and you're happy with it

im really really sad and wish i never went out in switch's cossie let alone him be so njce to take me to all the meets with him in his car


and hes even gonna help me find a decent xr4i if jim sells his, if not i have to buy a taxi ( nissan bluebird perhaps )


im very happy now but i gotta remove me engine this week though
