The trouble with me is i just can't leave things alone. I'd dread buying another Lude as it will take me down the same route as the current one.

If i do find an ATR i like, i won't be able to leave that alone either. It's got some big shoes to fill though.

Just a little update, any little stone chips or marks have now been touched in so it's looking sweet.

The replacement 4WS ECU is now in, i've lost 3 stone in sweat climbing around the back seats getting it in, but all is looking good at the moment. I'll test drive it over the next couple of days if it stops raining, but hopefully the intermittent problem is now solved.

And finally i've been playing with my new DAS 6 and Meguairs Soft Buff 2 pads. Oh my, it's so much better than the RA polisher i have been using up until now! The boot, roof and bonnet have now been polished with Menzerna, glazed with PB Blackhole, then a layer of Heritage liquid wax followed by two layers of Autoglym HD wax. She's looking mighty shiny. I've the sides yet to do. As soon as they have been done, i'll be taking some final photos for an Autotrader/Pistonheads ad.

Looking forward to the pics. Still gutted for you man, but least she's leaving you on a high!

Sadly no interest as yet, i guess i have to find the right buyer. I'm considering a price drop, but i'm reluctant to let it go for much less.

I must admit I thought the price was a tad ambitious, but then again its a minter, I would say £2,750 minimum and £3250 max.

Shame you have to let it go mate its straight as fook. Cant you just garage it and then get you accord?

If I had the money I would buy this from you straight and keep it and I know one day you would come beg me to buy it off me! :oops:

All the best with the sale! :D
