Default Cosworth Prices

......was i mad to buy a 2wd saff at 7900 quid?

Fooking lovely car though Played Gran Tourismo 4 whilst my missus did the shopping today

Would Rhys have EVER sold it though (if i didnt want a good Saff)..i mean how many people are prepared to spend that kinda money on a Saff?

...oh and the wheels are to stay..as i am getting to like em as they different The only downfall to me is they are only 7inch wide so wont fit my 235's

Yes I think you're mad to pay Ł7900 for a saph.

No I don't like the wheels.

But..

Who cares, if you can afford it and you're happy with the wheels wtf has it got to do with me

too bloody true mate! thats why we spent more than intended on traceys 4x4! the shit we looked at before made it seem so worth it.

Ginge you certainly aint no oil painting yourself,maybe cut your hair and and get a proper hair coloured wig

Well the Saff would certainly break for more than 7900!!!...and i do like breaking em ...Dont worry Rhys not this one far too good

As for Porsche..if i'd wanted one i'd have one to go with the F- Car and M3

Its a minter with lots of mods that would/will break for more than you paid for it so you cant go wrong unless you bent it.
Wheels are fooking hideous imo but at least they are unique.
So...to answer you question...
Yes you are as mad as a hatter but thats got fook all to do with buying the car

Maybe the Ł7900 price tag was a lot of money but, as you say, for the work done, worth every penny, and i actually like the wheels, i changed from RL7's on my old saff to those!!

So to all the haters

So when you get bored sell it to Norwich Union
Its a seriously nice car and worth 10k in all honesty but getting someone to part with that kind of money for a Saff is nigh on impossible
