Anyone NOT selling their seven?
Only joking, I'm sure most owners are planning to keep their cars for the time being, but am I alone in thinking that there seem to be a lot of
sevens on the market?
Every day there seems to be a couple more. I wonder how many of them are selling? presumably it's the recession that is to blame, although I
think in some cases people get a bit disenchanted after the initial thrill is gone

its definately the recession, more people feeling the pinch trying to cash in, and fewer people buying so you get more BTTTs. This also leads to a bit
of a price crash as the more desperate people have to accept poor offers.
Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.

I was thinking about it, but since me and the wife split up, it's now my only means of transport! Which is my excuse for just spending what
should have been £280 (ended up as £114) on some waterproof gear to drive it in. Bring on the summer says I!

I'm not - 1 year since I bought it next week. Can't sell it anyway as it's in bits after the crash
I might sell it to finance another kit in the future though, if I don't get enough trackdays in. Would build something less track orientated.

Me. It seems I'm not selling mine, though I'd like to. Nothing to do with any recession, I just want to move on to something else.
It's just not as much as a thrill as it was when it was new.

I'm not selling (yet). Three years in, just turned over 6,500 miles.
It's still a pain in the arse at times, and just when I think I get one thing sorted, another thing falls off. But I can blame the idiot who
did the original build
Just got to get the attic conversion finished, got a baby on the way in August and have started my own construction company (in the middle of the
"credit crunch". So I may need funds later in the year.........

Perhaps we should badger Fozzie to start a "not for sale section" on the forum.

Don't do it!
I didn't sell mine, it was taken back by the people it actually belonged to, but by god I miss it.
I don't think I'm ever going to leave myself without a "toy" car again, it's agony on days like today.
Cheers
Chris
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Yes, but you have to come to Canada to get it, and it's cheaper to buy a professionally made one there than mine would be.
I don't have the requisite patience. My idea of a car is to take it to a mechanic when the oil needs changing, and when the tyres need changing
for winter. I don't really know what I was thinking when I started this. I think I just found the Audi A4 too boring.

Not selling, no way, no how!
It took 5 1/2 years to build and went OTR in April.
Since then, I've done 40 miles, broken the autobox and changed it; had horrible overheating; fitted a new radiator and complete re-plumb; head
is currently off to try and cure the overheating. Apart from these minor local difficulties I love it!
