I have my s1 in the garage with no intention of selling it untill i get the craving for another 2wd saph with decent power.
The s1 is proper mint (not a for sale post im a goldmember) i would just advertise it if it was.
The s1 needs nothing & is a joy to drive drives like new & i dont throw money at it.i dont drive it hard & think its only running about 6psi.Dont care how fast it is as its good to have.
But i still want a good 2wd saph thats quick but i know it will be a money pit.
Whats your views ? keep the mint s1 & enjoy it in the good days or have a quick 2wd saph that will prob be a bit of hastle but good fun?

 

No brainer, keep the S1

 

hard one carlo

the s1 is basically an ornament sat in the garage untill the weather's good, but it is stunning and would love it in my garage

would you use the saph a lot more than the s1, would it be running high power

 

I prob would use it just about the same as the s1, because i got this house this year ect the s1 has done less than 150 miles this year (i think) i have only put petrol in it once & its never seen rain.But next year i will have more time to use it because i will be settled.The saph will be decent power as the s1 is worth a bit of cash i could afford to buy a decent spec saph..

 

really hard one mate

the s1 is stunning and as you said you will prob use it a lot more next year, but you wouldnt want to drive it hard and you'll want to keep it in mint condition,

whereas a nice spec saph would be more something you could take for a good run to kick it's arse.

so if it's something you want to take out for a right good blast then i would say the saph

but if you want a stunning car that so just want for the good weather without driving it hard i would say the s1 cos it really is mint

 

I know 2 different purposes altogether.I just cant get how much fun my 2wd saph was,it was only on greens as well

 

It's a hard one mate for sure, I love both my cars for what they are to be honest, and as you know I've got a Mint Series 1 and a pretty damn clean 2wd Saph!

Just dropped you a PM

 

how much power would you want out your saph carlo??

 

400 anyway

 

i would say go for the saph mate with a decent spec, i think you would get a lot more fun out of it, than being paranoid driving the s1 anywhere

really love that s1 though

 

i know mate it will pass.Ive had 2 pm's recently about the car & another guy want to buy it that dosent use this site

 

Pete's (Staffi's) Saph is for sale

 

Seen that earlier stunning car

 

have you advertised it??

 

If your s1 is as good as you say it is then keep it mate,Once its gone you wont get another like it !!! try and put some money away to buy a saff at the same time

 

Not advertised it stevie as im only just thinking about it

S1 here

 

Swap ya....

 

Dont tempt me paul

 

YOUR OFF YOUR HEAD !!!!! Be a massive mistake to sell that

 

it would'nt be if he got something else he really wanted

 

Carlo i say go back to having fun with 2WD saph

You being sensible with a mint S1 just doest suite you.Get it sold and have a nice 400BHP saph!!

 

The For Sale signs were on at the weekend mate. They did say PX a Mint S1, 3dr or Escos.

 

Sell it and buy Staffi's saph Best of both worlds then, mint and enough power to have fun with

 

No question Carlo keep the S1, i regret selling it but i couldn't have afforded it as well as the 3dr.

 

loved your old saff mate and the series one is a cracker.it depends on what you really are in to.im in to my escorts so its an easy question for me but you might prefer your saphs so its just a matter of what you like best.for the money you will get for the series one a very good saph will be coming your way

 

S1 all day mate

 

Alot of mixed opinions here i will have to think hard about it as i always rush things then look back & go fuck thats what happens when ppl start asking you to sell it you start to think what you could have.

 

Carlo its a lot of money lying about to be scared of using it too much... i know its stunning but to be honest you might as well get enjoyment out of your "toy". How much enjoyment does it give you sitting there hidden in a garage or out driving it being scared to get it wet or drive too hard?

 

Going by your past cars Carlo would you end up having the saff off the road and buftying it up so end up with as little use as the S1.

 

Saphs are so cheap to buy compared to their running costs you could just have both!

 

Thats the thing i would end up wanting the saph good as well.Ollie i know what your saying i dont drive the s1 hard because i want it to stay as good as it is & would hate to see it ruined..
The thing that started me off was that cooont gallacher on friday he had came to my work to see me with a boy he works with in tac's saph cossie just done grp A gasket , greens ect he drove away gave it a little load up (not booting it) i seen it squatting exhaust note changed as it came on to boost then the fluttered from the wastegate before the dump & thought i need another saph.

 

Phil its not the buying the saph thats the prob its getting one thats got a decent engine ect & not a money pit.I would want one that had all the bells 7 whistles im done with buying standard cars n spending fortunes on them.

 

is there not a 2wd for sale next to your work?

 

There is mate looks fairly standard 2wd would take a fortune to get it the way i want..Tac your car is stunning mate real nice car sounds awesome

 

keep the S1 forever man

 

thanks.

can't wait to get it back.

should be tomorrow.

 

Why not both?

 

Reason 1 only 1 garage.I would never leave the s1 outside or the saph.
2 money for the saph i want i would need good cash.
3 insuring both cars ect along with a daily runner wont be easy the list goes on really.

 

Hmmm I understand where you are coming from.

I think you would kick yourself silly if you sold the S1 but on the other hand I think you would enjoy a well sorted saph. So if it is viable, have a little break from the S1, put it in storage untaxed and uninsured and have some fun with a saph and after a while when you really start to miss the S1, bring it out and use it again.

Like I said only if the above is viable and realistic enough.

How long you had the S1 though mate?

If it has been TOO long, time for a change IMO.
