chairs.... hmmm :S

Dont think so... the one before the sauna was a 6 bedroom hoose on the same street as ours but I just couldnt see us being happy there. Needed a lot of work too.

This place is slightly smaller and requires less work to get it

ok, more info


Its lost about 200kg off its factory weight, and has about 2.5x its factory power.

It did an 11.0 at 131mph 1/4mile in 2009 (at crail!!!) when it was running 570bhp I think.

a vid during mapping - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHj4PKVoJBw

V Power - 639bhp, (547AWHP), 517lbft
25% E85R - 670bhp, (577AWHP), 533lbft
50% E85R - 691bhp, (596AWHP), 547lbft

some of the figures in this wouldn't buy you a tarmac spec fiesta! group a micra's change hands around 10k!

Fee's car isn't just a tuned up road car.

Adam, surely you would lose a huge amount if you sold, but I'd think 35k ish would be a realistic easy selling price?

Could you make more breaking it?

ps - if you selling it for 10 let me know first

Of course we'd lose a shit load if we sold it. Thats always expected with cars But we didnt build it to make money off it.

We've had it for 5 years now.... had good times with it and LOADS of memories

In an ideal world I wouldnt sell it but i'd tidy it up, wrap it an a bubble and pop it in my heated showroom at the mansion. THEN take out the R35 GTR and beast it

Sadly - I dont live in the above dream world.

I've always said to Fee I dont want to sell it - theres is NO point. I feel that we'd be giving away (money) more than we're getting for it. I dont count time as free anymore these days!!! We've put in loads of time/sweat/blood
to the car.

So in short.... I have no idea what I'm thinking. I dont want to sell but Fee has a good point in that it would make an awesome extension to the house or help build a bigger garage.

Cars come and go I suppose. We can always get something better/newer.

Would it be better to slightly detune in (not just power), sell some bits off it and have it as a slightly slower track car, but tuck it up or a year or 2 to release the money you usually spend on running it?
