Should I sell it.....?
richard thomas - 17/10/09 at 05:41 PM

As above really....it struck me today that I've only managed to drive it a handfull of times this year - can't find the time!

Plus I do sometimes hanker after a nice Mk1or 2 Escort/Opel Monza GSE/Jag XJR/numerous other cars as the mood takes me.

However the BEC market is a bit saturated at the moment....

Might be getting the 4 year itch......

nope.

richard thomas - 17/10/09 at 06:12 PM

Fair point!

55ant - 17/10/09 at 06:17 PM

i think everyone has a nagging feeling during the winter, but it is a toy, also maintaining/modding etc is all part of the fun. maybe book a track day? like most things the best way to justify it is spend more money on it!

If you can afford to keep it, keep it. You'll only regret it in the end.

Otherwise sell it to me for £100

02GF74 - 17/10/09 at 06:29 PM

I'll give you £ 300 and half a packet of chocolate digestives.

To be honest it's not costing me anything to keep, but I do have a wandering automotive eye....knew I shouldn't have read that Classic Ford mag today.

Dilemma, dilemma......

you are very sensible, jaffa cakes are safe

anyway, back to the bidding. £ 500, two packets of white chocolate cadbury's fingers and three packs of Fox's Chocolate Viennese Biscuits.

Get a roof on it for winter then the rain won't matter and you can drive it much more next year

Otherwise I'll go 3 packs of Jammie Dodgers, 6 wagon wheels, a twin pack of Lemon and Lime Jaffa cakes, chocolate orange digestives and (if I can find them) a pack of Toffifee
