Default With Great Sadness...

With great sadness...I have decided not to pursue my plans to purchase a S8 this year or the next, but put on hold a couple of years down the line.

It seems I am unabled to stick to my budget for what I want (maybe I am too picky), and I have just purchased my summer car - it was 3times my original budget - god knows what would the cost of my 1st S8 would be

This is one of the friendliness forum I have been.
Warm welcome and great help not to mention the fantastic banter u have amongst yourselves.

I will lie low for a bit now, but will re-visit from time to time.

Again thanks for the warm welcomes

P: Just spotted someone advertised a reasonable S8 with LPG on here ....I must restrain myself!

Sorry to hear you dindt find the right one, but hopefully one will come up eventually. In two years time you may be able to pick them up for £2k
Just out of curiosity which summer car did you get?

Thanks for kind comments, you are very welcome.

All the best.

This is my new summer car - I will be looking for another replacement for my Legacy (now that I have decided to give the S8)

Wow. It's been ages since I last saw a Toyota Celica T160, especially in Cabrio guise.

At least Nollywood was close, I have to admit to not really being sure what it was

No, not got one myself but have a mate who's had Legacy GT-B, Sourer etc etc so know the signs!

Having been brought up in Bristol I used to see a lot as quite a number were retailed through dealers based there - always liked that shape and the soft top is such a rarity. If they did bring it in officially it must've sold in tiny numbers?
