Hi folks,

Well as some of you know already, i had to to sell the Evo MR due to misses dad needing an operation, we could of waited on the NHS but we felt it'd be our place to pay for him rather than risk his life...

So, the Evo was sold to fund the op and thanfully all went well and he's doing good..

Now that we're back on track i thought do i go back to the Evo, or find another cossie, as like most of us, once in your blood, you're fooked..

So on thinking this i did decide to go for a cossie but finding a proper mint, nicely modded one these days is like trying to knit fog.. so i thought to myself, why not drop Max a PM about my old Saff and see if he'd consider selling.

Now as you all know this saff is probably one of the nicest left today, tastfully modded, no rust etc and i know the car, Max has done/is finishing off some nice mods to it of his own and it's as good,if not better than when he bought it a while back.

So, cut to the chase cus i'm waffling, Max & i have shook on a deal and the deposit is with him tomorrow so it'll be on it's way back to Coventry again..where hopefully it might stay with an owner for a year..


Regards Pete....

 

Nice one pete,call it your destiny lol.

 

Cheers Kev,

Can't wait now........

 

Well done mate!

who would have guessed it!

 

good on you mate, it is "just a piece of metal" afterall. good deed you'e done there

sure you will have just as much fun back in a cossie, look forward to see what you get. your old saph was one of the ultimate road going saph's IMO. stupidly mint and handy power.

good luck

 

Glad your missus Dad's doing well mate

nice one on the Cossie too

Go on, how much

 

Gaz,

My old one, that's what the post say...

 

Cheers James..


Price, between me and Max........

 

and my mum

 

Nice one Pete, I had thought about weather the Evo had sold, I popped onto the MLR the other day to look for something and see your signautre! LOL

Glad the old man is doing ok too, thats the main thing!

 

Worth a try

It will all come out in the wash

 

 

oh dear its been a long day!! lol

 

It'd better be clean when it gets here bad joke....

 

A up Radders, cheers for that dude, appreciated..

 

a bloody nice bloke with a bloody good cossie, well done Pete

 

Cheers Rich..........

 

fair play mate.

 

He is back......... OH NO!!!!!!!!!!


Good news mate look forward to seeing you at the shows

 

Glad to hear the old boy is doing well

I'd like to say i'm surprised, but i'm not, so i won't!!

I look forward to seeing it on the new rims...gonna be gorgeous!! it has new brakes too now and handles as it should....







but it's no EVO!!!

 

Max, your an idiot, you do know that car will be sold within a few weeks i can put money on it. Poor old Jim, must be guttering to see that car change so many hands in such a short time LOL


i actually thought Jim wanted to buy it back at one point


Nice to see you back anyway pete you old fart


& good on you for selling the Evo to help the old chap out

 

I'm gutted too, its the first car ive really had to think about selling, but at the end of the day money talks, and pete doesnt mess about

 

after all that dollar you just spunked onto it, id be gutted too


dare i say it, best road going saph ever?

 

Staffi thats a really top thing you done there mate, good on ya. Nice one on getting the cos back dude. Mark

 

Lee,



Don't be such a pessimist the car is going nowhere now for a while trust me as for Jim being gutted, i don't think he'll mind it coming back here atleast it's cared for.

 

 

Id personally say it is the best used saph about Pete...well done mate & im glad to see everything went well with your father in laws op

That poor car will be worth 3k soon with all these owners on the log book in the last 12 months

 

really really nice of you to sell the car to fund the op mate
a true gentleman.

glad you got the saph back just keep it in your hands for longer this time

 

I knew it would have been this saph,,, i mean after owning this saph previously would you have been as happy with any other saph? i cant think of another thats as mint.Nice one pete

 

p.s better not big it up too much as max might change his mind

 

Massive Respect.............

 

thats why

wonder what he'll buy next

 

Its a great car, i had it in to do a repair on it recently and its one of the best saphs i have ever driven.


This quote totally overshadows the car though. Respect mate.
This shows us all the type of guy you are.

 

wow!! I knew it was under offer when i picked the wheels up from Max the other day but never thought it would be you Pete!

Glad your father inlaw is doing well, i know its just a car and family comes first but still a great thing you have done for him

 

Wow! high praise indeed

I wanna have a go now!

My HATE of Saphs is very well known! Perhaps this could change my mind and show me what people see in them!

 

As has been said Pete, you deserve such a good car for doing such a selfless act in helping out your father in law, i'v got total respect for you doing that mate, takes a special person!

Hope to see you at combe next month and finally see what all the fuss is about with this Saph!

 

Doubt it Lee, most Saph owner's including me don't know what they see in them either!

 

I doubt it

It's certainly quite unique in the way it drives, most saffs do feel like horrible old barges when pushed, but i guess cos this one is so solid and has all the right bits on, it drives beautifully and handles extremely well

It's not the fastest, or the mintest, or the best handling.....but it's one of few cars that have a strong mix of all three of those things

 

Great respect for what you done for your father-in-law Pete

I better empty my PM box now your back

Steve.

 

LOL
