fatttty Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Had nice young lady come to view the loop yesterday. The sale couldn't have gone better, she was a very genuine buyer and car enthusiast and having been blow away by the condition of the car offered me the fully asking price with no haggling, which was lovely as it made it all worth while and made selling him a lot easier.Just in the process of removing the private plate, got an ABS sensor to fix before he goes and then hes off to his new home. He's staying quite local around the Stoke-on-Trent area so hopefully will see him knocking around On to the new car hunt now Over and out!Alex (Fatttty) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joti Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Not sure yet to be honest. I want some rare and special, I'm quite funny with my car choices I'm with you on that one Alex!

fatttty Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 fiesta zetec s Already been there and done that, MK5 mind. I do love my fords but the rust problem has always annoyed me. I'm going to view a Ford Racing Puma hopefully, always wanted one even before I had the Lupo. Test drove one last year (when the lupo was previously for sale) and fell in love.Very rare and reknowned car for handling, not the quickest but a very special car. Only 500 ever made I'll keep you guys updated with whatever I decide to get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I desperately wanted one but all the owners reviews I'd read said they were spending a lot in maintenance. Not a problem so much if its your toy but it didn't suit as my daily. I'd still love one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still love one though.Thats right Huw, the alcon 4 pot brakes need blowing out every few thousand miles as they are rally spec and dont have dust seals. Other than the brakes they seem to be quite reliable overall. It would only be a weekend toy really so hopefully wouldn't be too much bother.The one i want to view has had a full bare metal respray inside and out work carried out by the owner (panel beater at Ford), all the usual rot problems sorted along with correctly sealing where the sill meets the rear arches (something Tickford failed to do correctly) completely under sealed, powder coated rear beam, wish bones, polybushed etc etc.Sounds promising Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatttty Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Car was collected on Sunday evening, replaced the ABS sensor before it left. Just waiting on the paperwork to come through for remving my private plate. The new car hunt commences Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
