Should I...

[Daz.]

Fix the valver and make it a perfect example of a standard valver - and I mean totally standard

or...

Leave it to kill itself and get a willy..

The one problem with the above is that ill need to spend some money on it anyway soon for m.o.ts etc.. plus I still owe finance on it and doubt id get alot for it if I sold it..

Its so damn annoying, someone dented the rear arch (bulge) today, just a little bit but it still brings you down - should I spend my money on what people call a normal everyday car? as opposed to a willy which does have the "special" status..

I just love that red so much though!

Get a willy and respray it red.

Id keep the valver, though youll end up too attached to it and never wanna let it go.

Maybe a getting your hands round a Willy will be refreshing...?!

 

[cat171]

good examples of valvers are dying out, which is why ive kept mine factory,

however a williams is that bit more special, decisions- decisions !!

Forgot to point out I still owe finance on it! well took out a loan to pay for other stuff too so I am stuck with it for at least another 2 years anyway!

 

[Chris1.4RT]

lol, answered your own question there I thinks.

 

[Daz.]

agreed but can I really let debt stand in the way of blue with gold...?

And while its half time.... 2-1!

Wont you have to get into more debt if you buy a williams?

Why have a standard 16v? The whole point of them is theyre a non limited edition Williams for people to mod innit

Willy Willy Willy you wont look back I went from 16v to Willy and was best thing I ever did. All I seemed to do was throw money away at the Valver, engine rebuild, clutches, radiator, discs/pads, alternators, starter motor, rotted sub frame, plus it would never start when warm, not to mention all the rust.

Luckily I maneged to buy a good example IMHO of a Williams and havent spent money trying to get it running, all the money I have spent is to improve the car or prevent problems.

My 16v was a right shed and I got 1.5k trade in on my Willy, which I thought was resonable.

Make sure you check out insurance though as its a big difference in groups from the 16v, which surprised me.

Getting a willy is the easy option - mod you 16v to a better spec!

Thats one of the thoughts, hence the pm a weeks ago! Does it really matter what other people think?

I could have a tunded 2.0l and willy track i there so (arguably - very arguably!) Id have a red willy...
