Ok...firstly my old 8v is far from a rotbox, its got some issues granted and because its an 8v any money i throw at it is gone because as we all know 8v's are worth about the same as a tin of lidl beans these days.....BUT..its still a good car in good working order.
I can't run a VR as a daily as my name doesn't end with sheik mohammed but i hope tweeds car finds a home as its got great potential... that silver one is amazeballs but its a show pony and one westcountry winter would ruin it and that'd be a shame.
I was going to store it and get a mk2 but i've looked at a few and i just don't know enough about them and the prices are all over the place with supposedly good cars which need work fetching stupid money so thats out the window and besides as Tweed obviously knows, a car sat in a garage is just eating up money for no reason... fair enough if the car has value but i can't see 8v's going up in value by £30 a week any time soon....sooooooo....this is where i'm at and i just don't what to do with it.
I discussed it with the missus who hates cars but knows me well enough and she says i should just get it welded up and through another m.o.t and then drive it until something big drops off and i can see her point and she'd rather see something newer outside, not because she's a snob but because its just an old sh1t car to her but i'm really attached to it and thats no good in the world of old crap cars.. :grin:

Yeah your probably right but its nice to get some alternative views because sometimes you get ideas that you wouldn't have normally got.
There is an 8v almost identical to that ebay one for sale in Bridgewater for £1995..started out at £2995 in Williton and has been round 3 other dealers that i know of since last summer.
