Well today was a bad day for me guys. I've decided to sell the Sport due to a financial nightmare!!. I need the cash badly due to a house move which has so far bled me dry :cry: .
To say i'm gutted is an understatement.....
I'll still be floating around here and hopefully in a few months i'll be in a position to get another Sport or similar!.
Take care all
Nick.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Nick,i know how much you love you car!
But I also know how desperate you are to move,IMO your doing the right thing,sell car buy house,save pennies,buy another when cash allows.
I for one would prefer to live somewhere nice with a sh1t car than live somewhere sh1t with a nice car :cool:

I think maybe you'll find a solution and keep it.

even if you do have to sell it your doing it for a good cause, a house.

Do you have a family member or very good friend you can approach to tide you over, even to buy the car off you with a view to buying it back when things are better!

Yeah, I think they've had a deal?

Sorry you've had to sell Nick, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

You'll be able to find another when the time is right.

Good luck with the house stuff. :)

Nick my good buddy, i know exacltly what your going through.
As you well know i had to sell my beloved Cabby due to finace situations and a knife through the heart is an under statement.
The good news is that you sold it to a Zone user as i did so, the thought of it not being looked after doesn't cross your mind.

I've slowly returned to E30's over the past few months what with breaking yet another beloved sport and picking up a Tourer which at presant is in the 'fixing up process'.

Bassically nick, i'm trying to get the point across that yes you will be gutted to see it go but, once you've got your self sorted out etc etc - you'll be back again, weather it be a steady / wean your self back or a full on Monster return.

Best of luck mate with the house move and i for one hope very much to see you on here again soon, keep in touch

Neil.
