Instead of buying ya first Cossie, why dont u but ya first M3 
, you wont need ten credit cards, no bank loan to run the damn thing and u will be a happier all round person, on the other hand Saph Cossies are a fuckin right howl in the winter weather so fuck it go n buy one.........
One more thing though!... And I have said this all along mate....
The minute you dis-respect this car when driving it , it will kill you...especially in this weather. Ask anyone on here RWD and winter do not mix very well so enjoy

Have you ever thought of keeping your neb out of other peoples beeswax . I was going to pay my £20 this week actually but have been busy hidding those nasty surprises on me car ready for the prespective buyers at the weekend. You have diverted your attention to my lack of gold membership because you know you cant come back from the above which blattently says "To save you lots of time and effort mate just buy a car from me,". That to me is insinuating that private sellers are not as trust worthy as you and seems as though its on a post specifically about MY car it means i am not a genuine seller. I am sure you are a really really nice bloke with a massive knob but there was no need to jump onm this thread was there.

Just paid it so you can stop gripping about that now. You did not say MINE was sub standard thats not what has fettled my balls. The fact that he asked if MY car looked alright and you posted on this thread with the attitude buy a car off me thus putting a downer on my car. I would understand it if you posted saying "ye looks ok bit pricey etc but check my cars out also". That to me would have been more appropriate. To be fair though i honestly cant be arsed arguing with you cause all the pop up boys will be on soon kicking up stink and sucking your balls.

I am after an integra type-r. Not a ford i know but the only progression to my car would be an escort cossie in the ford range in my opinion. But unfortunatly i am not prepered to spend an extra 10k on a car which is basically what i already have but in rwd which is what i prefere anyway.

No i am buying a front wheel drive 197bup bup car which is a well capable car standard without the need for modding the shit out of it. IMO they look good and as i have looked into them they are meant to handle well, go well, and brake well, what more do you need in a car.

hmmm integra type-r, they kick ass, if you're ever down our way alp, look me up cos a mate of ours builds the integra touring cars and you can look round his workshop
the big difference between a honda and a ford is that when you get in it and turn the key, there's no anxiety as to whether it will start or not
Although I'm 100% sure this E reg one is spot on
now £200 you wanted for that bottom end wasn't it
