Thinking of selling the Lex

Shh.....I don't want it to hear, but I have been looking at another car! LOL!

Getting a bit bored of my current IS200. Sad to say, think its a great car, but simply can't afford to put the cash into it to make it better and faster at the minute. Going to have a look at this tomorrow.

Dam i need money :(

This is going to be one of those rants. :whistling:

My bro is living in Tokyo and because of everything that is going on he has decided to up and leave and move back home. Now im over the moon with this as it means he will be out of harms way. However he is moving back home with the parents, where im currently living. Space is going to be real tight and the fact they have a 4 week old son is going to make things hectic.

Me and Sarah have been saving our asses off for the last 2+ years with the aim of getting a deposit and finally buying our own house. Almost there but still need money. Im now desperate to just save every single penny i can and move out as im going to go nuts living at home.

I really don't want to sell the buggy as i know if i do i will never buy anything similar again and im really looking forward to actually finishing that. I also don't want to sell the mazda as i love that car, however if it really does come to it i will sell the mazda over the buggy!

I need money!!!!! Looks like i may be back on the stainless dial kits and back to making gear knobs and anything else i can just to get some cash:Sulk: Probably won't be around much as things are going to get hectic........ad:

Might see some random for sale threads over the next few months........:confused1:

Hi guys, a friend of mine has a garage and has just got this diagnostic tool, he told me that the cd that came with the kit has all makes and models of all cars on it but you need codes to unlock them.
Can anybody help with this?

Cheers.

The bravery of the staff at the station is amazing!

Like i said in the other thread as part of the emergency response team i could be asked to do the same thing if there was a serious incident at my station and the thought of having to leave my family and friends is horrible, but its for the greater good to protect them.

It's not "Jap" so they KILLED IT !

This is the moment a group of boiler suit-clad men smash a Lamborghini Gallardo up at the request – of its owner.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0yWb-fEElw

The Chinese owner of the Italian supercar was so frustrated with the service from his local dealer he decided to show his anger in the most extreme of fashion.

So he employed a group of willing people from China’s eastern Shandong province, handed them sledgehammers and safety helmets and let them unleash their fury on the black Lamborghini.

In the UK, the Gallardo costs a wallet-denting £140,000 but in China it would have cost the owner a staggering £465,000 ($750,000)

Crowds watched in shock as the group tirelessly went to work on the exotic motor which is understood to have suffered a catalogue of problems since it was delivered in October last year.

The owner, a Chinese entrepreneur, is understood to have had the Lamborghini taken to the dealer in November to have an engine malfunction fixed.

However, the garage failed to fix the fault and somehow managed to damage the bumper and chassis in the process.

After arguing with the dealership and various senior Lamborghini representatives, the owner decided the only way to protect his rights was to have the car smashed up – on World Consumer Rights Day.

Ipad in the car!
