BUY IT if you want it..... wouldn't the Mrs if it was a pair of shoes......i think sooooooo!!!

if you have the £££'s and it is in good nick then get it, otherwise you will just be beating yourself up everytime you see a black one drive past.

 

[ROBIN]

think i am gonna have to, even my lil sis told me to go for it!

 

[Insomnia]

Sounds like you've talked yourself into it anyhow

Depends on how much money you'll lose on the deposit of the other.

What I will say is, is that black does look rather tasty

Depends on how much the deposit is. If its only £100, then you have to decide is it worth the extra £145 for fog lights, electric rear windows, remote central locking and heated seats......and it being black...




...I think so

Ahh well, i didn't lose any moeny, the guy gave me my deposit back , and the black one had a dirty great dent in the rear wing , so thats a no go.

But decide i wanna get the right car and its got to be a hlx 20v.

also its on hold until the new year as i have gotta wait and see what happens with my wife speeding fine as i am gonn ahave to use the money to pay for that.

still i have just ordered my exhuast and got my new steering wheel and my a pillar pod with gauges ready to go.

also my insurance is only gonna be £200 a year with admiral
