Title: I feel like ive cheated on my mrs
Post by: JackG on August 10, 2013, 05:44:16 pm
as some of you recall I was going too sell my eddie,  its even currently up for sale  :sad1:
I took the car back to standard from stage 2+ and lately ive missed it big time.

I felt terrible thinking that my eddie might actually go! I feel so guilty now I really do.
I wanted something more raw and loud etc but I thought how annoyed I would be after when I want my eddie back that I won't find another one like it  :love:

Saint Steve put some lovely pics of it his up today on Facebook and its changed my mind  :jumping: ill miss the scene, inters, the shows, the looks a eddie gets,   the feeling of having such a sleeper and its made me realise what an all rounder they are!
so I will start searching for some stage 2+  parts with a view to GT30 it in the next 2 years,  either that or buy a bike

Couldn't agree more.   :happy2:

Keep it, mod it (again  :laugh:) and enjoy it all over again and THEN go BT. :evilgrin:

I was the same when I sold my Eddie. I felt like I'd betrayed it. :sad1:

I sold my edition 30 DSG with,

REVO stage 1
Bilstein B12
VWR F/R arbs
Walk
VWR mounts
TBE
Etc....

And pretty much every option avaible.

I've missed it every day since. Replaced with an E39 M5 and still hasn't filled the void.
Fortunate for me I've still got a K03 GTI.

Point I'm trying to make is dont sell. U won't ever find something for similar money that will give all round goodness :)

I know what you mean. Had a lovely stage 2+ ED30, loads of toys and mods. Stripped it and sold it, was proper gutted so went and bought another stage 2+ car. Happy again now. :D

Good point, if we all wanted speed we would buy kit cars don't you think? There's a fine balance and the Eddie has it nailed  :drinking:
