    Can't do it now, I'll be looking more seriously around October/November, once I have my E39 6 months! I'm restricting myself to only changing car every six months!

    Got rid of the Alfa today :( Took a trade-in of a non-runner 01 Punto sporting and €650 cash! Fecking chuffed! Seller gave me a set of head lights, clutch cable and brake pads with it too. I had to get a mate to tow it home though. We collected it from a block of flats in Ballymun, was like we were stealing it! We had a crowd of teenagers staring at us the whole time too. Also, just bought a 00 Corsa for €300, have to get that collected tomorrow..

    €500 or so, you are looking at mid 230's bhp from a GTI with no other mods, an ST would be looking at mid 260's :)

    I'll advertise it at €2.2 once she's tested but unfortunately nobody wants them here with €1683 / annum tax. Same car would fetch twice that in the UK.
