Title: whats he doing!!!!!
Post by: Ryan on 19 October 2006, 18:29

i know he is breaking it for his car but why? it was a nice looking car. It did sound a bit rough at e38 but hey it was just a blowing exhaust.

i think the reason he is breaking it is because all the hard work hes put into it and he doesnt want to see his beloved car being driven by anyone else.

But the auction says: " ...have since bought the car of the owner 2 months ago and I am now breaking the car. Im breaking it as I needed to keep bits from the car for my next project and this was the best way to make my money back."

Sounds like someone bought it, and bizarrely decided to break it 2months later. If that is the case, then someone has a screw loose.

I can appreciate that. Id hate to see someone else driving my golf around.

Sorry for being dumb but what parts are on that to make you swap your bits onto it joe? Im not trying to be knob, its a real question.
