Think I might be getting bored of the cossie. I Dont really have much time to use it and not even sure I am that fussed with shows etc much prefer the drive TO and FROM shows.

Only chance I get to use it is at the weekend and recent summers mean that even then it might not get used. I keep wondering about getting rid of the run around and Cossie (bearing in mind that I dont even use a car for work or anything so hardly use the run around either!) and getting something like an E46 M3 that I can use without worrying where its left using in the rain etc. Just slap a set of rims on and have done with it.

Am I going mental or talking sense?!

andy you on something or what???!!! lol

you should know buy now owning a cossies a love hate releationship 'as i know all too well lol

once you drive it then you will love it again!!

one thing for sure if you sold your 3dr i bet you anyting you would regret it,i mean yours aint just any 3dr is it

It's an expensive weekend car mate to have but would you be happy with an M3. Would that give you the enjoyment & buzz the shonky Ford gives you.

Personally id lock the 3dr away & forget about it.

as above mate the love hate releationship is common with rs owners going though the same think at the mo with s1 lol.your car is awsome from what pisc i`v see mate.if you sold it do you think you`d be able to replace it if you desided you`d like an other cossie?

Turbocabbie

M3's are common as arse holes unlike a decent 3 door.. I would keep it

lamb chops

keeping thinking the same thing andy and now the engine needs to be rebuilt its tempting not to chuck the towel in..

but think a modern car would be a little dull after the cossie, nice old school 911 is now my thinking..

Yeah i understand MOST people with an RS go through this. BUT I am honestly not looking at anything to REPLACE the cossie as I doubt any car could ever do that in my eyes (946 turbo or a 993 turbo maybe). It would purely be the fact that I never use the car and am thinking about getting out of the scene and then getting something more useable that would mean not having 2 insurance preimums/ 2 road tax's etc etc

Like I said I would be able to use it for "normal" stuff aswell.

Maybe i just need to do some M3 spanking

What was the drive to Le Man like fella? That's when you'll miss it most...

rsnissan

You can pack it in



So many people taking pictures of the car and asking about it drive was awesome, loads of respect from other people there and on the way down. Got pics of loads of ferrari drivers round the car while waiting to get on to the ferry, spanked loads of shite on the way down thumbs up from porker drivers RS4's while pushing stuff along etc. Car didnt miss a beat at all for over 600 miles...................


what the fuck is wrong with me


just seems like moments like that are very few and far between. I dunno really mayebe i just need to see how i feel after the summer...............HELP

Stu.H

Keep it mate, looks awesome!

Any more pics of it?

On a side-note, I'd happily swap it for my 306 XLDT, you certainly wouldnt get wound up with leaving that anywhere.

PM me if you like

Dan

There you go then! I was expecting as much really Andy Sounds like you had an awesome trip with it!

You won't go spanking many 'supercars' with a standard rimmed up M3 will you!

Andy,

Yours is one of the nicest 3drs out there imo, BUT only you can decide fella, it's pointless putting a post of this kind on here tbh, everyone will say keep her and then you're in even more of a head fuck........

Bit like my GT30 post.. only i can decide...... real tears........

RichardPON

I'll give you 5k for it.

Daveyboy

did i read right? PON making an offer on a shonky old ford?

you'll have to give yourself a good wash when you get out though Rich - make sure you get all that chav off

foreigneRS

call me first if you do decide to sell it - i offered Ł5k for it on a post a while ago when you were having troubles with it, but that was obviously jokingly low.

Jamz

I get like that with my Pulsar. Usually if I take it off the road and forget about it for a while the enthusiasm comes back.

going through the same with mine at the moment, when i am sitting in the house i think what the hell am i doing pissing about with a 15 year old ford sierra, BUT when i take it out the garage and give it a bit of a blast up the bypass all is forgoten and i love it again.

For me i think the time has come though as it is just the cause of too many arguements in our house

frog

Just use your car and don't worry about the rain !!! That's what I do

Seeing that yours is a very good example, sell it and get another that you can drive around in without feeling you're loosing pounds per mile.
You'll need to loose your bufty urges though, and that could well be the most difficult bit

If you need better comfort, air-con, handling, etc... buy a more modern car, but get one with a big turbo, you'll miss the boost

pics of it in the pics section from my recent trip to Le Mans mate



Thats just it I think. I think it would be wrong just using it normally and leaving it out etc. Its only done 1300 miles between MOT's last year beacuse of that!

Its not comfort that I want either as my run around has air con cruise full electrics etc etc. Its just putting the cash into something that I would use more I *THINK* So it would be no good having car to replace the cossie i.e a garage ornament (the cossie IS the only car i'd want for that)

I think its more a case of having the best part of ŁŁk tied up in something that is more useable!?

Anyone else thought this and regretted it ?

Munch

i was told this last night, was proper shocked, your car is stunning, the perfect 3dr, i dont think i could sell it myself

foreigneRS

i sold my subaru earlier in the year as i wasn't going to be using it much, but i regret it as it was a good one and was not really costing me anything to have it just sitting there. now i have nothing for a trackday or road trip.

if you are happy with your run around and don't want more from an everyday car, and are not bothered about the cash tied up in the RS (which will not lose value in the foreseeable future), then keep it. but just use it more and get some enjoyment out of it as greg says

for example, bring it to the basingstoke meet tonight

I await the "Do I, Don't I" phone call...... surprised I didn't get any worried calls whilst you were at Lemans....

simonc

I had my 3dr for 4yrs but wasn't using it much so sold it march 07,bought another Cossie within a month but soon after wishing i hadn't bought another,sold that sept 07. I've had Cossie's since 1996. Bought an old 1998 M3 evo as a second car to replace the Cossie, its not the same as having a 3dr but when needed i can use it in all weathers & its a lot more comfortable & quieter than a Cossie. I drove down to Le Mans in it aswell.

Cheers Simon.

LOL, the Steve B cossie hotline...............along with Ryan as well TBH speed dial 1 and 2 Cheers though guys you must dread when ever i take an engine out


I reckon I could muster 16K for it in bits and would happily add the rest for something that i would use MORE.

Maybe i am just being a big Fanny............I definately wont be rushing anything. Might be a case of drive it more clean it less though lol

Ryan

you aint wrong i should start a premium rate number for my info
