Thinking of selling Slave 1...

Kara;8777 wrote: Thanks Adam. I'm really greatful for your advice. :yesnod:

I will enjoy owning another MG I'm sure and in the mean time I'll start drafting up my master plan for Slave 2! :woo2:

just hope i wasn't too mean :blush:

Kara;8775 wrote: Aww thank you. :thanks:



Lol the dark side rocks!

Thanks Craig. I have no doubt I'll pick up an F again because I know I'll miss top down driving and imho Fs/TFs are still the best looking affordable convertibles out there. I mean let's face it they're just plain sexy! :drool5:

So now it's just about waiting until I can financially afford both. Until then I'll just be happy that in saying goodbye to Slave 1 I'm gaining more time with a brother I haven't seen for years and my neice. :yesnod:



As I said in my previous posts financially it's completely undoable to buy a second car. I mean it's not even within the realm of possibility. We've not been paid since last November and if it isn't enough we've had to live on pennies for the last couple of months we now need to raise £2,500 to move house. That's just the letting agents fees, on top of that we need money for van hire, final bills and more. Our situation is grim as it is... we are and have been selling parts of our beloved film collection to live and to fund the move so believe me when I say I don't have a spare tenner let alone enough for a second car.

Anyway that aside... I actually quite like this ZS... it looks pretty damn good imho... it's not like I'm buying a mazda or anything! I still love MGR! Plus as it's still an MG I get to keep the private plate so you see it's not all bad! :yesnod:



Thanks Adam. I'll deeply miss my F but I must admit I feel comforted by the fact I'm able to stay in the MGR fold! And this just gives me time out to plan what F I'll get next! And it won't be blue CJJ!!! :lol:

Sorry to hear you have been through such times, I think you are brave to be making the right decisions. Not easy to do.

Look forward to seeing pics of the new car!

Must admit, I'm feeling like I said the wrong things, knowing more of the situation now.

Sure we all meant things in a helpful way.

I have to admit it was one of those drunk computer moments

"Wow a low bid auction for an LE500, gotta have a go at that!" the next morning was "I bid on what? How the F**k am I going to get that out here!"..................LMAO

Craig

PMSL!!! Well if it goes for £37 I may be generous and offer you double what you paid for it! :whistle: :lol:

You weren't at all mean! You were passionate and this is after all a passionate subject! Seriously hun there are no hard feelings on my side. If anything it was nice to hear such enthusiasm. :yesnod:

What you said couldn't possibly be wrong as you didn't know the situation. Everyone including you has been incredibly helpful and integral to me making my decision. I really am very greatful and thankful. :grouphug:

nothing i'm just in an incredibly good mood as you may notice in my other thread

Will check out your other thread to see what the cause of this happiness is then!

That's a REALLY kind offer of you but there's no need now. Steve & I have discussed things further and we are doing a direct swap - Slave & GW's for the ZS! Fantastic really as it means that I don't have to outlay money I don't have and it's going to a good friend. :yesnod:

I should be picking him up next week (it's definitely a 'he' I've decided. But here are a couple of teaser pics Steve gave me...


Introducing "Stevie":







:woo2: :woo2: :woo2:

Apparently he is "ignition blue" which is a very nice colour imho! :yesnod:

looks fantastic... i really like the Mk2 ZS's we have a Pearl BRG one that comes to our meets ... there nicer than the Mk1 ZS's on the inside as well in my opinion

in fact if i had the the choice of a Mk2 ZS120 or a MK1 ZS 180 (the KV6) i cant say which i'd choose!

steve has really done you a service there, naturally he's not out of pocket and you have a great car (much newer than GS1 as well) so you've both won! I'd be interested to hear from steve as to what he's going to do with the Two F's

and the thread is the one about quicksilver and hints and why im so happy a tiny bit

Hi Adam,

Haven't got a clue.The remainder of GW will get broken up.Slave will probably end up on ebay...

Steve

All these excuses you have been giving for getting a new car, and all along it was just so you could make the innevitable change to BLUE. I knew you had secretly been yearning for the best colour, but didn't realise how much until now.

I can see the sense in it now.

A nice looking car indeed.

First mod is some foglights :yesnod:
