Why an M3? I can't understand why they're so popular!!!!
I would drive one if you paid me, not because of the car, purely the image!

There was an atricle in the paper that called them 'metrosexuals'. They try to look gay without sucking the boaby, if you get me

Your money mate. Wouldn't dream of telling you what to do with it.
But have you thought about an Audi? You could get an S4 for M3 money

I LOVED the look of your car and it would have been a nice toy
BUT you will get soo much more pleasure out of driving a M3 day to day I think.
Good decision mate

agree with you there mike,cossies are done on a budget thats why when they are at there best let them go before you have to dig in your pockets again but lets be fair ,if you added up all the money spent on your car,mine included (when i had it) and a lot of others on here, i could have been driving around in a csl now

And thats the be all and end all of it!!!!!!
Yeh i love my cossies,and i make them to what i can with the funds i have.. I havnt got a endless wallet like some people,so i live with in my means.... Yeh its hard in a way when you walk in to Martoons,ZOO,or Seans and look at what they have,and you do feel like a poorper at times,but i was happy with what i had,and i stretched my budjet as far as a could with the car with out getting in to "DEBT"!!!!!!!
Id be more than happy if i wanna carry on,or should i say star doing trackdays again by building another 2.0nova!!!!If it goes bang its Ł300 for a new engine,if i smash it up,its Ł100 for a new shell!!!! That to me is what its all about ,FUN FUN FUN,not worrying about "if this goes,or if that goes"!!!Look at the Spikey 2 years ago,He lost a car though 1 mistake,ALOT of car to risk if you cant afford to put it right.....
I didnt want to sell the car,but the right price,and as John said the right time,all fell in to place,so it HAD TO GO!!!!!! ITS A BIT OF FUCKIN METAL at the end of the day,not like its a life or death situation!!!

I'm not saying that, it just seems so bizare to poor your heart / sole / wallet into finishing a car, only to sell it on before at least getting some use out of it .
I would just like to say, that in the finished pictures, it does look amazing - I bet the bufty in you couldn't bring yourself to drive it after getting it to looking so good .
And no-one makes you take the car on track, so that won't wash, you can still have the Nova shed to do that with as well as the Cossie . Just admit it, you're a pimp-daddy and want to be able to flash the BMW key-ring at the 16-year olds .

Yeh i can see what your saying Mike,but i honestley (know this might sound stupid) but i enjoy building a car more than i do driving it...
Was 1 of the reasons i went for the Reyland job..I have ALOT more fun building/making/maintaing cars,than i do from actually driving them...At the end of the day yeh ok,i am a few quid up (not much mind) from the sale of it,but man hours im down BIG TIME!!!!!!!!
The guys happy with the car,im sad to see it go,but ive now got a healthier bank acount,and ive made some 1 happy whos now got there dream car...Everyones a winner in my books...
Same with my Saffs/RST
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/09...ddy/?start=all
I make them,keep them 6weeks after ive done them,and get bored,and wnat to do something else...Im like the Robin Hood of the RS world!!!!
