Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted September 16, 2011 Area Representative Share Posted September 16, 2011 the next one will be..my fourth 😳 indeed! How can you bear to part with them? I have had GJT since 1998 and have a complete raport and personal loyalty to it. Even when it gets a re-skin (next year maybe but possibly 2013) I want to keep the current tunnel cover as the dents and reshaping tell me I am in the right car just by the feel of them. Just could not bear to be parted from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian B Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 He has to get rid of them after a couple of years as the bodywork gets too thin through over polishing 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StEVEN Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 😬 Yes, it did get quicker after each machine polish session. 😳 ...Yours just gets slower with all the dirt.. Stephen i do envy your loyalty 😶🌫️ ..i started with a classic 105bhp car and wanted to upgrade but it was cheaper to change it in for a more powerful car, also, i was doing a fair bit of mileage in them..with the 3 that i've owned i've probably done nearly 45k miles and all were garage Queens so sold them on with more miles but as they were standard unaltered spec, the residuals were good when it came to change...

Martin J Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Time for your first caterham with the exhaust on the drivers side! Thing is, the sigma even in 150 form won't have enough grunt for you I expect, there are very few for sale with what I think is the best engine (175 duratec) & late R400's start at £26k. On the plus side you are coming into the right time of year to buy as if someone really needs to part with their car you may just pick up a bargain.........bargain being a relative term as £20k plus is still a lot of money for a toy Happy hunting & I hope your garage isn't empty for too long!

Stationary M25 Traveller Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 ...... as the bottles of polish may go off !!! 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StEVEN Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 *arrowup* *eek*..ohhh christ yes me polish 😳 ...i must put them in the fridge 😳 😬 Martin you've hit the nail on the head... the issue is, that any more than 150bhp is a lot more bucks!!...
