Sold my e34 today to Criv's dad. He's been looking for one for a long time apparently, glad I can make him happy and glad it's staying in the family! I know James will take good care of it.

The Focus ain't the same shit-can it was 12 years ago. They're pretty sweet cars.

You very well may be right. I haven't looked since about that time and they were POS back then.





I honestly hope you enjoy the car.

Minis are turds.

Mini is separating from BWM as we speak. We'll see if they turn things around. Usually sales need to fall first though. So we can expect more of the same for a while.

One of my best friends is a mini dealer service advisor. He told me to stay the hell away lol

Man I'm liking the new Fords but I just couldn't do it without a MT, take any fun out of it.

Did you ever consider a mini? Im sure you have but no mention of it here (at least i didnt see it) Ive had unpure thoughts about getting one for the same reasons...and they are blast to drive!

If you think a MINI torque-steers, go drive a new Speed 3. You've got to manhandle them.

Part of the fun though, at least to me.

Our friend's is something like 220hp with the JCW kit and some other crap on there. I can't imagine that Speed3... that's too much effort to drive.

Our friend has one with the full Works kit. It's quick, but it torque-steers like a mofo.

The mini has no real cargo space behind the rear death either.

If I do it, it'll be fly then drive. Unless you're offering a ride...

I pay in gas, grass or ass only.

I've made that drive too many times, fuck that. It's usually pretty cheap, especially one-way.

23k for a fucking Focus. Hope you like it. Just glad it's not my car payment.

So you have to drive to Spokompton to get it?
