Default Bye bye S1.

Sold my S1 today due to funds needed for move abroad. I'm totally heartbroken to see her go.... I'm sure some arse-end out action in my 325i bucket will ease the pain!

I loved the wheels, set it off a treat especially in the sun.

Considering the amount of pikey-type peole who live just half a mile down the road I never once had any trouble with any of them trying to nick it, they just liked looking at it instead.

Yes, gutted its gone but I think my head was in dreamland thinking it would be feasible to take it with us. At least it's gone to a good home (I hope).

Still got a fairly good condition 4 spoke Rs wheel to sell, as well as 4WD Cossie calipers, 2WD discs and DS2000 pads (only done less than 50 miles and disc and pads were new), a custom made gauge holder that goes where the centre vents are and............ some rare as f*** red and smoked lenses, totally unmarked, unchipped and in their original wrapping and the original box.

Ebay here we come!
