Massive Dilema - PLEASE HELP !!
« on: 29 November 2005, 00:14 »
Need advice - i cant sort this one out myself. Right i have an Edition ONe G60 Aubergine which i absolutely adore and swore to myself i would never sell, it is my daily driver and is standard it is without a shadow of a doubt the loveliest car i have owned. Problem - i have just bought a Pearl Blue rallye which i have put up for sale in this site. I came home tonight and looked at the rallye - it just looks so special - i know i will never get the chance to own one again.

I am not minted so cant afford to keep to cars. I already have a T25 project on the go and 3 cars seems silly.

Do i:

a: Sell the Rallye
b: Sell the g60, keep the rallye and put a TT engine in it.

Bearing in mind the car i keep will be my daily driver and will be driven all year round for all purposes.

HHHHHEEEELLLP !!

or alternatively leave the rallye alone for a while and save some cash.

defo the G60 as its an edition one, and not many were made. Keep the rallye but see if you can store it. AND if you want my advice please do not harm the rallye they are mint as they are, why people wanna ruin that by banging a TT engine in there i do not know, if you want a TT go and buy one.

If there's anyway you can, then keep both - they're lovely! Not sure why you can run a G60 Ed.1 daily with a G60 but not a Rallye though?

Also as per Slick's comments - i would try to keep both as close to standard as possible.

'91 Mk2 GTI 16v - 129.6bhp @ WRC

If you want an answer i suggest handing me over for medical research, Id probally be the guy who would have it sat half an inch from the floor on OZ super turismo rims, a Audi TT lump, Stage 2 turbo kit, 6 speed transmission, Nitrous, Stripped interiour, roll cage and a front and rear splitter kit flushed to match the rest of it......I think ive just been banned from buying a rallye for life havnt i? :(
