After yesterday's TR i have spent most of this morning looking at the Chim classifieds. Having had a 400 and a 450 i'm so tempted to get another post-95 400, pref without power steering, and pref NOT in dark blue (since i've had Starmist and Iris before).

Just been let down again by an eBay auction winner for the Disco. Do I get my £20 back from eBay for these auctions? No fking chance.

And then you put it in the Autotrader and it's the cheapest on there (and PH) for the mileage and spec and some fker agrees a price on the phone and turns up with £1,500 less and expects to drive it away because he's paying in cash. Innit. What the fk is wrong with people?!

Any idea what you might make breaking it?
Mind you, lot of hassle.
Unless you find a Chim needing an engine...

Just noticed you can get a very nice Merc SL for £5k too.
Wonder how much an exhaust would be?

I looked at quite a few Chims before I got the 964, they look good in photos but were real shockers when I got there....
But a friend got a £6K car and spent 3 on it, now its great, he is throwing a supercharger at it for xmas...
