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,

Driving the Tank

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. Except now, I’ve translated that nebulous feeling of unease into a sense that it simply doesn’t provide enough feedback. Journeys at night and in wet weather can be absolutely exhausting. I find myself trying to heighten my senses to the tiniest cues coming through the steering wheel, chassis and pedals. 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. When you put your foot down and hustle it a bit, the car starts talking again. You begin to feel you’re dictating things rather than reacting to them. Sadl...

Game on!

It’s started again. I’ve started out on the test drives. Five years ago, I took a week off work to test drive a load of different cars in an attempt to decide what I would get next. This weekend, I took my first proper test-drives in five years. I can barely believe it’s been that long, but I guess it must be. Even when trying to negotiate a deal on a Clio Trophy, I don’t think I took a test drive. Stupid, or what? Regardless, Saturday saw me searching (fruitlessly) for a particular garage in the Benton area that had a VX220. Clearly, map-reading’s not as much of a strength of mine as I thought. Never mind. I did, however, find and drive a couple of 350Z’s. :) The first was an import with a stupid nosecone and an equally stupid price tag: 16k for an 03 import is just daft. The dealer was pretty close to home too, so I got to try it out on roads I know well. While it felt just as planted as the Mini, it failed to blow me away. Acceleration was on...
