Default Someone put me off cossies please!!!

I know all the saphs in my price range will be shonky shitters, and I know if I bought one it'd go tits up again like my last one did.

But I want another 2wd saph, someone put me off

Or sell me a minter for 3k

They're like a disease
You know they're bad for you, but you cant help it

do you need any help in being put off if you have owned them before? let me just refresh your memory,loadsa fuel,sorcing/ buying some parts can be expensive,every time you turn the key you are waiting for it to rattle,everytime you use it you expect it to break,and you will end up skint because they all turn into money pits in which you will never see any of the money again !.it could just be mine that is like this but i very much doubt it. go on,buy another and enjoy
