I know. I feel bad. At least I fixed some of the issues.

Just heard from the new owner that the car has gone into limp mode. I feel bad but genuinely thought it had been fixed! It should have been fixed for the money I spent!!!

Back to volvos for me! Never lost a dime on one!

The drop link was knocking like buggery so needed doing. The steering wheel was off centre so really needed sorting as was annoying. The key was practically in half so needed fixing. The fast flashing / leds were an mot fail so would need doing. The maf and map etc had been cleaned by the...

Safety first! He came straight from work.

I’ve got the fastest road legal bike in the world. In 1988.

Something cheap. I’ve come to the conclusion that I much prefer fast motorbikes to fast cars.

Sold it for what I paid. I reckon I could have got 14k if I’d of held out but the love wasn’t there.

Sold it for what I paid. Shame I’d spent £900 on it.

Too many. I think I prefer driving the old shitters though.

Sold.

True, you just lose 2k in depreciation.

Yeah, I’m hoping that’s what will happen.

Yeah, parcel force 24 hrs was more 120hrs .

I’ve not sold it yet! Not even had a sniff but to be fair it probably does look dodgy so can’t blame people. On a side note, my exhaust back boxes turned up today.

£1500 loss in two weeks. It’s like buying a new car from the show room!

The breakdown issue I had has ruined the experience for me. I don’t think it’ll sell as they’re quite a niche vehicle but we shall see. The exhaust turned up today so a bit of extra noise might change my mind.

It’s for sale.

Cars back and I’m £900 lighter but seems to be ok now - hopefully! Back boxes were collected on the parcel force 24hr service on Monday and still haven’t arrived. Will hopefully turn up Monday!

Mpg on the first 500 miles or so.

Looks awesome.

That was the plan prior to the new big bill. These were £200 for the back boxes so should give me some noise for a little less money.

I can’t afford the full exhaust so I’ve bought some shiny back boxes to cheer myself up.

The code it brought up was an issue with the air flow into the engine so could have been a number of issues. Apparently, it’s not uncommon for the wiring to deteriorate on these due to the quality Australian workmanship. They’ve had it a week and put it through it’s paces and there have been no...

No it’s all sorted now. I’m just getting some extra stuff done. For the next owner.

So.....things haven’t gone that according to plan with the vxr8. I was driving it the week after I bought it in a spirited fashion and all of a sudden it went into limp mode. I did the classic fix of switching it on and off a couple of Times and it came out of limp mode but still had the check...

Booked in for the exhaust doing on the 06/08. Can’t wait!

I test drove two and they both broke down so I lost confidence. Good looking motors.
