Where would you go next...

Whatever you buy, just make sure you'll hang onto it, so you can avoid the pain of selling a car in Ireland for a while at least. Not sure I could hack it again.

Did you sell the M4

Yeah I eventually traded it in against a 997 911. I got a good price for it all things considered, funnily enough I had a lad very interested in it just after I agreed on the trade in deal, I passed him onto the dealer I gave the car to and he bought it, fairly typical :rolleyes:

Ahh ffs, typical is right. Dealer was delighted now doubt, perfect scenario for them.

Give us a clue so we can make educated guesses.
Have we discussed it already or something completely different?

Wailin

My moneys on the Ford ST!

Much excitement in the parish!

I'll let yes know once it's paid for, waiting on account details to transfer.

Private or garage purchase?
ROI or NI?

This was the reference.

Picking it up in morning, will throw up a picture or two then and some thoughts. Watched mark's video again today on them, fair play mark, out of all the reviews it's one of the best in the absence of a track! Cheers

Fair play, look forward to seeing it. Quite a difference from a 330d but should be even more fun all the same.

Wailin

Lovely vintage enjoy and well wear. Looking forward to some pics.

Yeah, no doubt the 330 is measurably better. It's faster, more economical, bigger, 4wd, 8 speed, twice the cylinders, twice the..... Oh f***..... This is a mistake isn't it!!

Nah it's not

If you put a 330d & and Fiesta ST I'd probably struggle to chose. And it's probably something ill have to chose between eventually as I'd love an F30 next but wouldnt mind a small fast petrol either :pac:

I remember a few years ago a gang of us were on a tour around Connemara. I was in my FiST (had it stage 1 tuned at this stage) and there was a guy chasing me in an Audi S3 running 320bhp between Maam cross and Oughterard, on those twisties he actually couldn't keep up. When we pulled up he just got out of the car and came over and said "jesus, that thing is a little animal":D.

They are a little backroads weapon and that was the older model, I'm sure the new one is a level above again.
