as you mightknow ive been looking at selling up for ages, but change my mind a few times.
I recently was looking into getting a Mondeo St220, however i was slightly peeved that the insurance for a £5000 standard 220Hp ST220 was £45/month more than a stage 2+ vRS with loads of modifications worth £10k. they also refused to add my wife to the insurance for anything less than £200 a year
anyway was looking about another garage and they have offered me £8700 for my car and they wil do all the servicing, brakes and tyres off their own back, so realistically they have offered me £10000 for my car, which im over the moon with.
Ive just put a deposit down on a 55 plate mondeo TDCI130 ghia X. Shocking i hear you say, however it leaves me with just about enough money to buy something like a clio 172 for track days. which to be fair was my original plan.
Should be in possession of the car at the end of july, as i'm going away next week with work and cant sort it out sooner.

:sad1:
On a lighter note though. Ban him!

However you should still get banned for going FORD :surprised: :P
-
Your saved as you mention buying a track car :signLOL:
Good luck bud i'm sure you know what your doing. :smiley:

if it helps im already in the process of sorting a map via ben @ sharkperfomance as the STS handset can be used on the ford as well. so should be able to run it at abut 155-165hp which isnt so bad :sad1:
was quite amusing i took it out and thrashed the hell out of it, and managed 34.7mpg, same route after in the octavia left me with 17.1mpg
-
Speechless :sad1:
-
so why didnt you just trade it in for a clio if thats what you want?! mondeo diesel :stupid:
-
:surprised: :confused: :scared:
-

A lucky escape. Get yourself down the news agents and put some numbers on too - Seems your luck is in!!

was waiting for a comment like this. ive just had a look at a pug 306 gti-6. its abit over priced considering the condition, and hes not budgiing, so ive left my details with him if he changes his mind. this would be the perfect run around/toy, until i find another family motor. then i could strip it out and track it
-
Why not get a Clio 182?
-
they are on my radar as well carl. although im looking more into the 172 cups as they dontcome with abs/aircon and are alot ligher tham the other renault sport clios
-
best clio mate the cup, problem is seats, shocker. 4k for a nice one. fast as fook!!!
-
the only prob is id want to rip out the interior and cage it.. doing that on a 4k clio means im going to ruin it and lose masses of money. my thinking is if i strip out and cage a 1k 306GTI6 it wont be so bad whemn im drilling and swagging the interior etc.
-
pick up an mk1 for 1500 quid, not a fan of the gti 6, dont even know why, would defo go 106 rallye or gti if it was a pug mate.
