Just returned from three weeks away. I was thinking of selling up before I left and was going to mull it over the holiday - and that I did!
Well, maybe I will get a Fiat Coupe/something else some day, but for the time being the Valver is staying. Probably the biggest thing that made me keep it is the anticipation of getting the bloody car back! Its still being stored at my mates farm in the depths of Pembrokeshire and its "driving" me nuts (no pun intended) being home but not being able to get the car until he gets back from holiday himself. Driving a 2.0 Volvo S40 maxed out with top spec sound great in isolation, but its not a patch on the Valver for thrills.
So its not a practical decision - its one of the heart. That blody car owes me far more than the thousands its swallowed up.
For the time being I will be able to ease the weight of the daily 50-mile commute Im about to start by using one of my familys many Volvos. Sadly, its no long-term solution as I will eventually need my own mile-muncher as and when I move out of home.
Ive still got the dosh I was first going to sink into the ill-fated Willy 2.0 F7R project and would have funded the gap between the value of the Valver and a new car. But Im not keen to spend it all on the car as I think its fast enough really and I like the idea of having cash to hand in case the Valver has a mechanical grump when it starts piling on the miles (its already on 103,000).
...but out of interest, which coilovers are the best to go for and would there be any benefit in me slamming the car further?
