It's my favourite shed. Love it.

P.S Want a 306?

No 306 for me mate! Still got the Clio.
111k in the clock. £1000 takes it.

Perfect!
I'll most likely be in touch if I can't find another white one
I'd be a right copycat!
Just FYI to anyone looking at 306's, I've just managed 34.7 mpg over just under 400 miles, which is awesome IMO.

That's not fair.
V-Power FTW.
Found this MX5, perfect for me spec wise, its just about 500 quid overpriced... Going to have a look anyway on Thursday and see if they'll budge on the price at all.

If the body is in good shape I don't mind paying a bit over, but there's no way I'm paying 2 grand for a 17 year old car with 111k on the clock, no matter how good it is...
I'll see if they'll budge anyway, if not its no big deal tbh.
Plus I can't afford that anyway. Not at the moment.

Better price. Shame it's a 1.6 - it'll probably be a short nose crank too, like my old one... is that even worth worrying about now?

Now on Piston Heads for £900. Perfect track car tbh! I'll even throw in an OMP drivers subframe if the price is right.

Now on eBay (with 2 watchers): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320907955...LX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_530wt_1378

Wee little update - New passenger indicator arrived today, so I got that swiftly fitted; I now have matching indicators. Exciting, I know.
Also used up the rest of the LaminX that I had lying around and did the dipped beams too, not sure if I like, but I don't really care anymore.

24 watchers on eBay and 2 offers, both well below what I want. Just going to wait it out and find someone who actually wants a P1 GTI-6 and not just a shed, I guess.

Thank you very much sir!
They've all just wanting a little bit too much off the asking price, which is fair enough - I'm aiming at a very niche market I guess.
I've said it before, but it's mental that what was regarded by some as the best hot hatch of the 1990's is now worth about £700 tops apparently... But that's the car market at the moment I guess!
Someone will fall in love with it... I'm sure!

thats exactly why i was after one mate.
rated as one of if not the best pound for pound hot hatch of its time
very highly rated by evo magazine,which is what put me onto them in the first place.
every one i went to look at,advertised as "mint" were scratched and dented to fook!
yours looks superb.

I'll not lie, mine is very of it's age in terms of condition - but I feel I've priced it accordingly and stated it clearly enough in the advert. There are quite a lot of stonechips around the front end (So it's obviously been driven properly!) and some very small patches of rust here and there, but mechanically it's absolutely sound once you've got used to the clutch.
And to be fair, the paint around the car is very, very good other than the few small blemishes. It's obviously been paint corrected and cleaned properly in the past year or so (half of which I've owned it - and I take very good care of the paint). Super Resin Polish and Collinite 476 looks incredible on it! I just wish someone would actually give it a chance and come see it in person...

cant believe it hasnt sold on pistonheads mate.
ive sold or swapped cars for bikes,bikes for cars ect
bought my fireblade off there,rode it for year,costing me 1 back tyre
and sold it for £300 more than i paid for it.
have you advertised it for sale or p/x for whatever your fancying next?
i always put that in the ad,and everytime ive done a swap,
saved both partys messing around and looking for their next car/bike too.
cant go wrong with a gti-6 for that money in that nick imo.
if i had the cash id have it bud,but new baby has put paid these things for now :dapprove:
hang in there,just takes someone who deffo wants one of these and knows what he's looking at and itll go.

Yeah, I clearly stated what I'm after next.
I keep thinking I could go on with it and do what I wanted to do to it in the first place, but I'm still not sure I'd be left with something I'm happy with.. but just looking at it tonight and driving it made me remember what a great car it is, so I'm definitely not going to let it go for silly money, regardless!

This has gone to .GAZ. now. There was actually quite a bit wrong with it that I hadn't spotted (a corroded brake line & gearbox issue most worryingly!) so just wanted to give a massive thanks for not running a mile and making me fall asleep driving it back home! LOL.
There was a good bit of Scottish haggling and the offer made was too good to turn up, given my circumstances have changed somewhat...
But anyway, best of luck with it mate, I am genuinely sad to see it go
Onwards & upwards!

MX-5 Time now then?

If only you knew...
Hell yes Rhys!
Had a bit of bad news about my job yesterday, but I still need a car really. So yeah, not the most ideal time to change cars, but its happening.
Last time I saw it!
Sounded a lot louder than I thought it was...
P.S. Toby, I'll speak to you tonight mate - my phones about dead!

I can't text you Rhys, I only gave you my number! Lol.
Basically, due to my previous boss not being able to fax a reference through, I might not have a job after tomorrow morning. So, pretty s**t, yeah!

That's properly s**t!
Hopefully that doesn't happen pal, fingers crossed and I'm sure you'll find another job either way.

Tell me about it! Two days notice too ffs.
Ah well, worst comes to worst Smiths can do me a good reference for another job, so that's something.
If I've still got my job tomorrow afternoon HSD's are getting ordered right away. Deadly SRS.

Got it home no problem, gave it a quick wash and was in awe of the beading lol.
I think given the overall condition and bits n bobs my mechanic noticed, we both got the deal we wanted.
Time to get the belts done and check the timing.
FLOL @ that pic btw.
