What do you make of it when people say...

[polsta]

in a car advert "i bought it to track race/drift, but its too nice to do that do/strip out"

always boggles me, seem to see it a lot

just seems needless to say, 1 it shows your a drifter/racer (not the sort of person who anyone would like to buy an e30 from), and 2, it makes you sound like a bit of a tool, and it generaly just rings alarm bells when someone says it, rather than if theyd said nothing and just said a nice e30 for sale blah blah...

[jonny323i]

Its a way of saying i manged to buy it cheap but then shaw pound signs when i realised it wasnt a nail and im hoping to sell for 3 times what i paid for it

[polsta]

exactly, but thats more damaging/off putting to say than to just say the truth or just circumstances have changed or something

[jonny323i]

true but there are alot of numpties out there

[polsta]

It says I'm a wannabe drifter bought the car but haven't the time/money/girlfriend/mum says over my f******dead body are you going drifting.

lol, shows them as even more of a bell end then for letting a hand brake put the hand brake on it

(hand brake- slang for "gf/mrs"

Even funnier when you see the word 'drift' attached to the badly spelt ad for the most unlikely drift car.

I got a Tech1 Sport. I bought it originally to learn how to drift and on a whim and I was just bored with my E46 323Ci

It happens.

But tucked up in the garage since January. Mainly standard.

You won't find many pukka E30s out there .... Just the way it is because E30s has been long time since they were new.

I personally don't see anything wrong with learning to drift and drifting is fun, awesome and watching the pros is just W O W.

Better to learn in a cheap RWD car.

Also better to learn in a car that is not rare.

However, 'I know of' someone that drifts in a M3 CSL Coupe :-S
Plenty of people track there M3 CSLs on CSL Register too :-S
Personally I would rather learn track days / drifting on a cheapo E30 325i / E46 M3 Coupe

Please don't teach them how to sell a car!!! So long as there are mongs out there that write stuff like this, we'll have some forewarning not to go and have a look!

Although my mistake is always the same... travelling too far to see a car then not wanting to say no.

i sort of went through the same thing with my convertible, the previous owner kept it looking sweet. it was his wife's car and he made sure it was in tip top shape and never left his other half and kids broken down on the side of the road. Paintwork was spotless, no aftermarket mods and it took garage priority over his porsche.
I had plans of 'council'in' it up but couldn't do it because it looked so smart

So ive bought a 2dr shitter n started modding that up

but saying "i bought it to track race/drift, but its too nice to do that do/strip out" sounds like you took it to a supermarket car park at night, gave the car alot of welly and it wasn't track ready so your selling it.

if you have the money a csl couple might be a cheap enough car to not be bothered if you bin it its also designed for track use to best place for it really exactly what i would do with it .

usually you see this when people have done a half arsed effort in making a track car stripped the interior made a bit of a mess ,had some dream or being a drift super star realised they dont have time money or skill to do it and ebay the car , i also think its true about people getting cheap e30s and seeing what some people will pay for them so sticking them back for sale and try to find a cheap front engined rwd car to do stuff like drifting in and you will mainly come across e30`s just old cars to alot of people ,something else all together to us.

You should see PH what they done to a E30 325i and turned into a rally car
