:embarrassed:
Well after my thread a while back re my decision to order a White RS Focus, Ive used the (lenghty) wait to reflect on my decision to part with my ED30.
I had agreed a sale almost immediatley after I listed it on a local Used car web site, test drives etc. where carried out and I have to admit I felt unhappy, annoyed even that my car was going, so I told the guy no, and that I was going to sell it nearer the time the RS arrived. He was miffed but what can you do.
Each time I drove my car I questioned my wisdom, there is something about the ED30 and I had this nagging doubt that the RS was not a big enough step forward to justify spending 26K on.
So after having neglected the ED30, Ive booked him (as he is a he, hes called "The Sherminator", after the guy in american pie lol...) in for a paint correction and later a wheel refurb (anthracite pescaros) by means of making up for the neglect over the past 3 months.
The RS is a fantastic car, but at this time I prefer the one sitting in my drive.......... :happy2:
-
so are you still gunna buy one?
-
No, sticking with the Golf and gonna spend a few £££'s on mods.............
I just had this nagging doubt I was doing the wrong thing changing, I usually go with this instinct as its carried me through many (often more important) periods of my life.

i love the new RS. genuinely do, its so shouty its just f*cking fantastic :jumpmove:
for me it will be built like a ford and go down in history as one. nuthin as cool as a sorted golf imho :innocent:
-
It is a fantastic car, looks fab as well, but as I said, I don't feel its right for me at this time.....kinda weird eh? :confused:

so are you still gunna buy one?
Didn't bother read the first post the VC? :laugh:

So Dave you put us through a 20 page thread about a focus for sod all. :grin:
You must do some community service as part of your punishment, and spend lots of cash on your Ed 30 and post up pics and details on want you spent it on. :happy2:
If you dont do this we will force you to buy a Vauxhall. :innocent: :happy2:

I've to contact a guy to discuss having either my bonnet or roof(or maybe both) wrapped in matt black, would this help make up for it if I am the first Tornado Red on here to brave it???????/

I think you have made a good decision matey, a few well thought out mods will change the ED30 completely, I know when I mapped my old one it did :happy2: :happy2:
