I'm being picky... But I'm impatient!

Hello all,

Been looking at an F1 for a fair few years now, one of those cars that I've admired from afar really!

I tend to change my cars every 12 months really max, but I think that's because I keep searching for the right car and the right thrill

I REALLY want a LY 197 R27. I'm into modding too but happy to buy a standard and stamp my mark on her, likewise with the right receipts I'd buy one already done.

I'm in Leicestershire / Warwickshire - but I travelled to Wales for my last car (Missano Red V6 3.2 TT) so distance does not bother me for the right car

Come and find me!!

Welcome Now I'm being picky lol.. Warwickshire to Wales isnt really that far is it?? A mate of mine just drove his scoobie from Middlesex to the Lake District for a Mazda MX5 for his girlfriend (personally I think he is mental but thats me) haha.

I've bought a few cars in the South of England, I live in Northern Ireland. My mates have done the same. If it's the right car it's worth travelling for no matter how far.

I drove an 8hr round trip for my wife's Golf

I once went to the German/Austrian border with my brother to buy a Mk1 fiesta.

Distance is a good thing, means you get a nice long drive back in the new toy

It was an 8 hour round trip so quite far I thought!

 

[sarah_casper]

There's 2 for sale on eBay.

Yes I've got my eye on those already

 

[sarah_casper]

The 2 that are for sale on eBay...

1 has done over 70k and doesn't have climate control - I want one with climate control and less mileage

The other has done the right sort of mileage for me, but needs all the alloys refurbing and only has very short tax and MOT

 

[M88KE C]

Mines got over 90k now. Still drives beautifully

 

[Gez]

Mileage means nothing IMO

surely with 70k, which isn't high anyway, but that shows it's been driven and enjoyed, rather than one that has 20K on it and has sat around, probably spent half it's life being repaired

 

[sarah_casper]

Well both have FSH and if I can get one at 36k for the same price as one that's done 70k feels a better option to me

All personal preference I guess!

Quite right.

Rememeber it's quite rare to see a Clio with over 100k...
