231 now a second car.

FISHER · Sep 17, 2010

Hi folks,

not posted on here for ages. Just a bought a cheap runaround so can keep the t for high days and holidays.
Used her for the first time in three weeks today and wow what a car.
My runaround is a 1.4 and the t feels so fast and just wants you to give it more and more. Dont think you realize just how good it is till you use somethin crap as your daily.
Anyway the 231 is all tucked up for when i want it rather than when I need it. Its got just over 17k on it now and will get cambelt and dampers done in december.

cheers simon

Nice one! Definitely worth keeping as a second car, especially with that mileage! An appreciating classic, that!

How much did you pay for this car?? May I ask?

My day to day vehicle is a old escort van it the biggest pile of crap of all time, it litteraly takes a mile to reach 60. Jumping into the t after driving it all week is like stepping into a Veyron, kinda makes u appreciate just how good it is.

hi,

bought in about march this year it had covered just under 12k, with one owner. Paid top dollar for it but id wanted one since new. I traded a black gold ff182 with factory recaros in.
If low milage/owners is what your after you have to pay unfortunatley.
There are plenty about for around 6/7k.

cheers simon.

A Veyron? You must at least have it Chipped plus an Magic Tree to make it feel that much quicker. :wink:
