My New VXR8

[Mr R.]

What's next mate?

 

[leedsboy]

Well that didn't take long to sell second time round!

 

[leeds_182]

What's next mate?

Just gonna run the Volvo for a few months I think mate.

 

[welshname]

Crazy. But you don't half shift them on quick in terms of turn around. Some people end up stuck with cars for months trying to get rid

 

[Mr Plums]

Its because hes not greedy and loses on every sale.

 

[leeds_182]

I always price to sell!

 

[SCJM21]

Nice one mate, result!
So when you say stick with the Volvo for a bit, as in brand? How many 850 T5Rs are you watching on eBay?

 

[leeds_182]

Gone to Southampton after a nightmare day!

What happened

 

[leeds_182]

What happened

Car courier was supposed to turn up at 9am, then 10am, then Dinner time, then 1pm, then 4pm, then 5pm and they eventually arrived at 1845.

The buyer paid by bank transfer but money didn't go in my account so I refused to release the car. The courier company left and I kept the car. The money came through three hours later and the courier company eventually turned up again at 1am! Loading the truck up and two police cars come barrelling down as someone reported that we were stealing the car!

Gone now though. Onwards and downwards!

 

[Mr R.]

What's next mate or is there nothing in the pipe line?

(I think you've already said your just going to drive the Volvo)

 

[imprezaworks]

Ball ache

Silver lining is you have neighbours who care about each other's property...

That sounds like a right nightmare

Did chuckle at someone calling the police on you but as cub says, at least you have nice neighbours

 

[leeds_182]

Definitely. Good response time by North Yorkshire's finest too!

Might get something in the spring mate. No point having something nice at the moment due to the weather.

 

[leeds_182]

New owner got the car and is happy with it. She spent a day cleaning it so sounds like a decent bird!

 

[leeds_182]

Debadged too!

 

[cat171]

Tbh, I'm not surprised someone thought it was being nicked, that Shogun is proper pikey lol! The VXR8 looked a cracking motor though, I really like those

 

[_Tom]

Looks much better debadged.

WTF do you light your garage with? haha

Runs on bio diesel that shogun.

 

[Darren S]

Not sure I could bring myself to own a Vauxhall barge, must be polar opposites from an Evo?!

I would. But that said, I have a similar dislike to the Audi range - it would take something monumental for me to even walk into a showroom - let alone be interested in buying something made by them.

 

[SCJM21]

I'll bet you and @craigyt a hot chocolate (with whipped cream) and a picnic bar that you'll have bought something new within 2 months!

 

[Mr R.]

Did you loose much on it Jim?

 

[leeds_182]

Did you loose much on it Jim?

About £300 at a rough guess.

 

[Mr R.]

That's not too bad then mate.

 

[leeds_182]

That's not too bad then mate.

Couldn't rent one for that money! That's how I justify it. When you consider I spent £600 on bits I don't think I did too bad at all.

 

[_Tom]

£300 for a months use isn't really a loss imo.

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

I went through a phase of changing cars a lot and it wasn't really the cars that cost the money, but the endless driving about to look at/collect things, as well as insurance changes, tax etc etc. Soon added up I found.

RimZ

 

[Dom_capper]

Desperate for lows now with that offset.

 

[Stay Puft]

Is that the new owner? Wheels look awful!

 

[leeds_182]

Is that the new owner? Wheels look awful!

Yeah, keeping touch with updates.

 

[leeds_182]

Springs on order apparently.

 

[Ant1]

Drop it and that will look sweet! Did you say it's new home is Southampton?

 

[Stay Puft]

Drug dealer.

 

[leeds_182]

Yeah, this is the new owner - I facebook stalked a little....

I could bring her house up on street view but that might be a little too much.

F*ck that, I'd have delivered it!
