Oooh, nearly there!

Fairly solid rumour has it that I get the money for the house sale in my bank account on the 16th of May. That's 12 days from today.

*tentatively, so as not to scare it away* w00t?


ooh, baby skyline
(this one is a baby Skyline, rather than a jazzed-up SX200 like the last two)

Nnnngh. If you get that car you do realise I will attach myself to it and NEVER LEAVE?

I didn't realise you were particularly partial to shiny cars...

*makes mental note*

It's *gorgeous*, I want its children. How could you know me for this long and not know that I have a thing about shiny cars? AND IT'S WHITE. Guh.

*ahem* Seriously. I'll just turn up to stare at your car. You'll never get rid of me.

Well, I'm sure I'll find some use for you if you're just going to hang around on the street.....

People do tend to do that, yes. ~grin~

P.S. That icon of yours, contextually speaking, makes me want to vote for you.

Bless your kind heart sir, but I still had to look anyway ( own worst enemy )...I think the last one was just a little more sexy....

My feelings are not so delicate at the momment, as I have been bidding on some very pretty Supra's recently, to no avail...Sanity and " other interests " have kicked in, and I'm now looking at Celica's or Hyundai Coupes...any feedback or alternatives on these models welcome...

Supras are teh pwn. I once had a ride in a stage 4 Supra, which really did scare me quite badly - nothing that fat should move that fast. Definitely nice cars, and you can do a lot with them.

Celicas look nice, I've not heard much about them. The Hyundai Coupe is cropping up a lot recently - I'm starting to view it as 'the sensible sports car', which would probably have put me off it even if I wasn't trying to avoid FWD (which I'm guessing it is, although I don't actually know).

I think the last SX I posted had a nicer shape to it than this GTS does, but the GTS looks a bit more aggressive. I'm not sure which I prefer - probably the SX, but not by enough to put me off buying this, which is technically the better car as far as I'm aware.

I'm going to have an ask-around about the GTS tomorrow... it's definitely being considered at this point.

The Celica, and Hyundai are the same insurance cost for me, whereas the Supra is double, so I'm weighing up wether I want to be paying a reasonable sum for insurance, or get one of the other cars and pay more or less the same as I pay now ...

Being able to pay cash should only make you negotiate more firmly.

He's asking £5,500 and wants a quick sale - I think £5,000 cash is pretty likely to do it.
