Thanks I have seen enough coupes to have an ok idea what they look like but if I think of anything... I think this may end up being a car bought without seeing...now if you fancy driving it for me listening/looking out for ticking manifolds, whining belts and smoky turbos...
Last edited by Vickster; 04/05/2007 05:16. Reason: can you hear a smoky turbo?

I'll have to add oil checking to my current repertoire of car maintenance tasks, these being putting petrol and screen-wash in and checking tyre pressures

I take depo's on mine as im always sure people wont walk away when they get here. Its certainly been painted its odd in the pics, but i wouldnt worry, they all get marked and scratched. 2nd one ive ever seen, thats a UK car though so no jizbags. Very cheap, its only a few thousand less miles than mine.

I thought I had come to my senses on the way into work in my lovely growly n/a ... but now I'm not so sure There are more cons than pros here ffs ... Cons1) I have never wanted a turbo, I don't need a turbo and I would never use it to the full so what's the point. I'm not sure I could cope with the extra paranoia, it's bad enough with the n/a! 2) I rarely get into fifth gear, so why on earth do I need a sixth? 3) It's a VERY long way away 4) I need carpet and a new boiler, not a new car 5) Will my ample rear fit comfortably into the recaros 6) It'll cost more to insure and maintain 7) I'm not convinced I like the bodykit 8) I like my sunroof Pros1) It's a yellow plus, the ultimate coupe for someone who loves yellow coupes 2) It has red brakes 3) It's 3 years younger and has 22k less on the clock than my n/a Hmmmm...

If you don't plan on using the turbo much and don't like the bodykit much then you'll probably don't want it Have you ever driven a turbo version? If you do a lot of town and low speed driving the N/A version will probably be far nicer to drive. The turbo is quite gutless under 3k revs, but loads of fun once over that.

Leather...mmm...carlt, first dibs on the next set of plus/20vt[6] recaros please Or do you have mint standard leather in?

Well I don't think that your cons are so bad really 1) I have never wanted a turbo, I don't need a turbo and I would never use it to the full so what's the point. I'm not sure I could cope with the extra paranoia, it's bad enough with the n/a! No-one *needs* a turbo, no-one *needs* a car that will do 155mph when our speed limit is 70, but just go and have a drive and give it a little tickle and I'm sure you'll be hooked. 2) I rarely get into fifth gear, so why on earth do I need a sixth? It's more for cruising so if you can be driving in fifth you can be using sixth and saving money on petrol so you can buy a new carpet and boiler. 3) It's a VERY long way away So what! You'll get to stetch the legs of your current coupe properly going to see it. No comment on the others and I'm not sure about it being yellow is a "pro" but then horses for courses. So just go and buy it then. On second thoughts don't buy and let Zak get it! He can then put his burgundy plus back to standard and I'll take that, swap my new suspension/strut brace onto his, put mine back to standard and then sell it. And he's near me too. Yep that's a much better idea, anyone want to buy a moon grey [6]?
Up yours Photobucket.

Vickster, if you want to have a pootle in a standard turbo so you can compare if you go and have a look, let me know.

I'm not really doing anything at work, and if I set off now I'd get there for around 2:00 - 2:30.
I hate decisions like this!!!

He's also got a Moon Grey 20VT6 with 20K+ more miles at the same price. Surely it's not worth as much as the Plus?
