Hi Tiff,
Just got back into the country....... Would have been nice to make a sale, but glad you've still got it really. You know you'd only regret it in the end. What else can you buy for cossie money that'll give you the same enjoyment........ A week in Amsterdam maybe...That's about it though

Tiff
you selling it because you don't drive it that much ?? why don't you do a few trackdays in it like Mike said.
It's great fun out on track and it doesn't matter how quick/slow it is as long as you have a bit of fun in it thats the main thing
if you do sell it don't forget to take the wheels off for me
anyway best of luck what ever you decide
belive it or not Tiff I wouldn't mind a nice BMW 850i auto to doss about in cheap cars now

Tiff,
You're fairly sensible, so you shouldn't have any problems.
You take it easy, and just have fun, and you'll love your cossie all over again. Once you'v done a track day, you'll never go back mate

I know i should really, but i am just worried about stacking it
Once you get the confidence,experience etc.....you will feel better about it.
At the end of the day,it can be fixed anyway.

I went out in Popeyes car at Bedford with him and was really surprised how much fun it was for a standard car. Went really well
I hear he was going ALOT quicker later in the day as well
Just get out there! its ALOT easier than it looks
oh and Tiff, as dave said it can be fixed
You do realise its an old Sierra and not a classic handbuilt 1903 'one of a Kind' multi squillion pound Bugatti don't you
