Well in light of yesterdays spam post regarding my corsa for sale of ebay… I just thought you would all like to know that I have now sold my corsa as of yesterday- hence why it has now been removed from Ebay. The new owner is a girl called Laura; her and her partner Josh came to look at it yesterday evening and she fell in love with it immediately  I’ve got the deposit and providing she doesn't change her mind between now and Sunday when they come to pick up the car it’s obviously as good as hers 
She seems like a really nice person and I know 100% that she will look after the Mauve Monster! It sounds like she’s going to be doing a few of the shows this year- have told her about Donny South and Trax so hope to see her there!
A few people off of here have known for a while that I had been thinking about selling my corsa. And after much thinking and discussing I eventually made the decision to sell her. There were numerous reasons that contributed to this, but in all honesty I think the main one is the fact that I’d owned her for nearly eight years (had her since I passed my driving test in 1999), she’s seen many a change over the years and as far as I am concerned she is “finished” now in regards as I am happy and done everything I wanted to. I’ve done all the shows with her for four years, she’s been in the MaxPower Top100 four years consecutively and magazine featured twice. Also, it seemed like the right time to sell as it’s kind of the end of an era with Boyracer (Jacko), Iaz, Claire Richardson all selling (Claire split hers). And these were cars that were being continuously modified and finished at the same time as mine and it’s difficult to explain but it just seemed like the right time to sell. So after having “itchy feet” for a while I finally bit the bullet and put her up for sale on Ebay and Autotrader on Friday 15th June 2007! Luckily it didn’t get to the end of the auction- I think I would have been a nervous wreck watching the clock count down to the end of auction! Lauren put a decent offer in for the Mauve Monster and the rest shall we say is spam- erm I mean history! Haha!
Would just like to say a quick thankyou to everyone off here who sent me messages wishing me goodluck with the sale etc when it was spotted that my corsa was on Ebay- looks like the goodluck paid off
Anyway... just waiting for Sunday to come along now

Perhaps.... I guess time will tell I'm trying to stay positive that I won't regret selling though

 I hope it doesn't come to that! I will probably feel different on Sunday though seeing nearly eight years of memories drive away

Cheers, I don't really want to say at this stage but I have actually made up mind a while ago as to what car to get -I guess you will have to wait and see  I don't want to say and tempt fate and then Laura changes her mind

Why do you want to know that? So you can say "you spent all that and got that back for it! Should've bought a 106 GTI with all the money you spent on it blah blah blah?!"
At the end of the day it has nothing to do with us how much Jill's spent on her Corsa to get it where it is. She may have spent a fortune but at least over the last 4 years she can say yeah, i had a great time doing it!
Good luck with whatever you get next!

Nope, for once jimmy i was just interested to see how much cash was put into it! Meant no harm at all! I know i'm normally a rude sarcastic cunt but i never intended to question why money was spent, just interested in how much it cost!
