jslootweg 0 Posted October 24, 2007 What a shame, this is one of the threads I have been keeping a very close eye on. I think I speak for everyone when I say we'll be sad to see it go, especially after the work you have put in! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue95 0 Posted October 24, 2007 This is a real shame.... :( If you can, I would advise you just to cover the car and keep the bits, and come back to it at a later date. Take a few weeks to think about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrbeige 0 Posted October 24, 2007 Cheers for all the comments guys, but needs must and I have spent the last few weeks thinking about it and have made my decision. It is indeed a very difficult decision to make, but it's not all bad you know, been threatening to marry mrsbeige for about 5 years :lol: so I thought it was about time! Don't worry, in the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger, "I'll be back"! :D There is method to my madness an' all... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60greeny 0 Posted October 24, 2007 i think u need to tell me the method in your madness over msn!!!i'll be waiting :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtytorque 0 Posted October 24, 2007 :( i thought i was seeing things when I read your thread title. I always wonder if the money you will get from selling a much loved rado will make a difference to a person finacial circumstances in the long run. Especially if you think you are likely to get another one down the road. oh well.I guess you know your own mind and circumstances. Just playing devils advocate. :twisted: I'll put my vulture hat on now. :evil: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toad 0 Posted October 24, 2007 Morning mate. Was interesting to talk last night, and as you said, there's a few shiney items that should help get you a few quid in, sad that it's had to come to this, but the decision is made now. The shells seem to be worth nothing. Maybe it's worth keeping that?? I'm going to scrap my two... I have a funny feeling that the corrado price depression is here to stay, so when you do find yourself in a position where you can look for something to put the engine in, you won't have to spend too much money. Nice to speak to MrsBeige too! Tell her I found a marquee manufacturer that can knock a dress up to fit me... Good luck with everything mate! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The_Dude 0 Posted October 24, 2007 Don't do it dude! You'll only have to start all over again in a few years time..... Dagnammit, I was really looking forward to seeing Mrs Badcrumble getting all evil on us. Still, I think selling your car for one special day and a lifetime of misery will be worth it! :lol: Only joshing, all the best for your wedding. 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyDave 0 Posted October 25, 2007 Stu, first thoughts, nooooooooooo. But hey, I've been married 15 years this October and it's great. Some things may have to go on hold for a bit, but I'm sure whatever plan you have cooking will be a good one. Just you make sure you keep in touch on the forum :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
