Car hasn't been NCT'd yet, but I intend to get this done before sale. there is some tiny rust on the rear leg, but this will be sorted for the NCT.

Bodywork is mint. there is a tiny tiny dent on the passenger side quarter panel that only I can see, other than that, there isn't a mark on it. no scuffs on bumpers,
Interior is similarly clean, Last week I machine washed the seats, the dash and plastics are as new.

No way Colm! Christ why all the regulars selling up!? There'll be no one left going to meets that I know by the time I come back!
Best of luck with it anyway, and the new business venture.

I'm not advertising it anywhere else, if someone genuinely wants the car, It's there. If not, I'll happily hang on to it.

Yeah, I know I can't talk, but whats with everyone selling up?

Any info on the new business venture, or is that a whole new thread topic. Either way, best of luck with the sale and new venture.

As for meets, I fully intend to keep going, Bernard would never make it to them without someone to lead or give directions. :)

New venture is no mystery, staying in the industry, just working for myself as opposed to someone else. Wanna try and free up some money for extra stock.

When you told me last week that you were thinking of selling it I was very surprised. Wasn't sure you were really gonna go ahead with it. You will miss it. Theres some very nice bits you have done to it. Is it really worth selling for that money?

You know, if you sell it, it will take you twice as long to drive anywhere :lol: :wink:

Best of luck with the sale anyway!

a mint FTO , I can vouch for this car .
Been there when it was bought and must say it's one of the best prefacelifts out there .The aftermarket bits on it really make the car stand out .

Best of luck with the sale Colm , i hope once you sell her you'll be able to buy another one soon .
Good luck with the new venture !

Where have you been Kace? Colm is a car sales man for a Toyota dealership. He claims :wink: I still reckon it's Hyundai on account of the fact that he loves the coupe so much :lol:

I met Colm this evening and wanted to take his arm off to be honest. The car's beautiful, took her for a spin there and she drives like a dream. Already planning my first couple of mods (gear knob and pedals) to get the ball rolling, but to be honest there's not much that needs to be done with her.

Colm drove all the way to Dublin from Clare to meet me, pleasure to deal with. Fair play to ye! Needn't worry, she'll be well looked after. :D

Edit: I must remember to change my profile picture now.
