Well, one person's expressed an interest in a part-ex for his S2000 already. Unfortunately, it's outside my price range and, while it looks pretty good to my eye, that yellow colour might be hard to shift when you come to sell it on.

Looks good, but agree yellow would not be my first choice. But having interest shown on the first day is very positive.

And another part-ex offer comes in: Lotus Elan SE. Way too old for my liking, but interesting nonetheless. I'm enjoying this... all except for the bit where you have turn people down. :-/

Wow, this is mental. Another 2 enquiries and the ad's been up less than 2 days. This time it's a tuned TT and a straight take-some-cash offer from a dealer. The latter is most certainly interesting,

I don’t normally give cars nicknames. With the Zed, however, I’m tempted to call it The Tank. Not because of its size or muscularity, but as an abbreviation of sensory deprivation tank. Yep, that’s right — and it’s not a good thing. The test-drive concerns I had about the 350Z being too comfortable a car are still with me.

Often I’ll end up leaning forward in my seat, as if listening to a quiet friend in a noisy pub. Thankfully, however, it’s not like that all the time.

You get a £500 bonus at work — how do you spend it? The big decision for half of my colleagues appears to have been XBox 360 or Playstation 3? Myself, I’ve opted for a front bumper respray. Of course, as soon as I said as much, I was told, quite earnestly, that I really need to stop thinking about cars so much. Hehe. Well, it made me laugh anyway. :) Yes, I might well be chucking money away — I doubt the work will add the equivalent value to the car come the day I sell it — but it won’t half improve my enjoyment of the car. As it stands, the polka-dot affair I’ve got at the moment (courtesy of Bill Heaney’s crap finishing) makes my heart sink every time I approach the thing. In just a week’s time, I’m going to be smiling again instead. It’s been at least 6 months since that last happened (the lack of blogging here in that time is no coincidence) and maybe it’ll reinvigorate me full-stop. Dammit, I love driving too much to feel depressed about my car. Roll on the good times. Oh, a
