well to pass a few quiet periods at work I started looking at the usual "...what could I buy for X..." project and now have nearly persuaded myself to buy a C4 facelift.

Truth be told if I didn't like the Rumblebee so much I'd be tempted with a nice C5 (and these look nice:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CORVETTE-C5-2002-targa-t... instead, also saw a cracking looking yellow C5.

I'm now trying to persuade myself that the previously brilliant idea is actually a VERY poor one and that in actual fact man maths is not a good idea!! lol

That Polo Green car looks like a nice example on the face of it. Whilst they might be colour-coded you might want to consider ditching the EBC Greenstuff pads, they're useless.

got to be honest that Polo-green C4 ticks a LOT of boxes, not sure about the price though... looks like I can have a nice little think about stuff lol

I would always rather pay a bit more for a good car than a little less for a bad car....

Very true. Especially with the C4 and upwards. Some parts can be very expensive once landed in the UK. You could easily end up paying loads more by buying a cheap example that needs a few things doing. Btw this green C4 has already had the optispark done.

I have to say that Polo Green Vette does look very special, a proper car, un molested, well worth a look in my book.

everyone please stop this!! It's likely in my top 3 colours (the other 2 being yellow and blue. I love the ruby ones but they're so rare it's not even worth thinking about them!!)

I've had to send the guy an e-mail asking further details, that being said it is one of the best adverts I've seen recently - virtually any question I had had already been covered. Why can't more people place those sort of ads? frown
