they are very nice cars mate..although u may find it a bit daunting as a first, they pack quite a punch!

tbh it's a waste of a nice car to let it sit in a garage. if ur goin to pass ur test then go for it and enjoy it! if not sell up and use the cash for something else.

welcome to Cliosport.. and i'll give u £2000 cash for it ;)

id keep it. you might like it. Obviously your in the city so might not get much chance to really open the car up.

You could sell it. Like beef head said you could get a few bucks for it.

Up to you really.

im sure your uncle would want it to be loved rather than sat in the garage, hell i know i would want mine to be driven like it should be.

as said, sell it and put the money towards a new bike or something, i know they can cost a fair few pennys for a decent one

so thats it . i was looking thru the bills my uncle has paid for over the years just now sep 07 it got new brake pipes all round . its been services and stampes from new never missed a service . i bought new disks and pads for the car last week coz my wife said that the hand brake was not holding when on a steep hill . i got the guy next door who is a car freek . he is always sorting ppls cars at his door to look at the back disks and pads he said they had there day and needed replaced . i asked if he would do it and he said that the bairings was attached to the disks . and i would need a press and stuff to change them is this right in saying . will i have to take it to a garage to get the back disks and pads done . cheers for any help

Really depends, If as you say your not a car person, I would expect you would get just as much pleasure driving a car with half its power, and as you say you may not even take your test, but if you were to start taking lessions now it could well be a year before you get your license, by which time the value of the car will have gone down even more.

It feels strange reading this, I never thought who I would leave my 172 too if I were to die tomorrow.

PMSL....one of the best lines on CS I've read, class:D

As far as the car goes sell it and buy a nice titanium bike

I would keep it, learn how to drive, it sounds like your mature enough not to drive like you stole it once youve passed your test as they are very quick compared to a bicycle!!

However the expense of taxing, and insuring it might put you off as a new driver!!

Two choice's my mate!

1 - learn to drive ASAP

Your unkle will be so proud of you that his legacy lives on in the family:cool:

( i started driving late in life , not driving never botherd me at all , then one i just thought " i want to learn to drive " 6 months later i passed first time )

2 - Sell the car

Buy yourself a nice bike and something for the house.

(on here to a member of the owners club who will love and care for your unkles pride and joy just like he used to do ;)

Ive gave you advise on the assumption this a not a blag/sob story scam!
