M3 SOLD!!!!!!

Post by Mike Scib » Wed Apr 30, 2008 10:44 pm

Yep got my self a new track toy to replace the Rallye :(

Image

I was genuinely sorry to see the Rallye go as it was a awesome little pocket rocket upsetting many faster cars on track :twisted: But it was just needing that bit more power :roll:

And my new toy :arrow:

Been wanting a RWD car again for a while now so its good to be back 8) A bit more interesting to drive fast.......just shy of 300bhp and no traction control :shock: :lol: Been having a little play on my local test track, open most days, and its great fun steering on the throttle with the steering wheel sitting level as you exit the roundabout 8)

Can't wait to get it on track :twisted:

:lol: :lol: That's a old master plan now mate. The M3 came along at the right time with the right deal attached 8)

Yeah seen that Andy, would be a nice track toy for someone. Looks to have all the right bits :twisted:

Scib 4,

Did you buy this car form a guy in Perth/Crieff by any chance?? I remember Iain B and I having a little convoy drive :wink: with a car very similar to this recently, and I believe that the guy was in the process of selling it.

It was going well by the way, Not a lot to compete with a well driven M3....... apart from a 340r and Elise!!!!! :thumbsup

Foz, yeah it is a bit on the heavy side........but then again it has the power to carry the weight :lol: 8)

Paul, the guy stayed in Kyle at the weekends and Inverness during the week bit of a trek to Perth but not to far i suppose :)

Looking forward to getting it on track <BG>

Got to be the shortest ownership of a car on here, although I think you might have some competition given how often some people on here change :lol:
