  • Aimed at Derek - traffic cars

    Postby Paul » Fri Feb 16, 2007 1:07 pm

    What traffic cars are you hoping to get next Derek? Do you get new cars every 2 yrs? you have had some propper smart cars in the past. which ones have been your favourites?

    Lovin the Accord R's, the old sierra cossie's, the St's and even the old 328's with the M suspension (quite into the traffic cars)

    Also, when you're done with them, are they auctioned of? or sold to a regular dealer?

    (just curious by the way)

    cheers

    haha, that website answered part of my question. The St's are nice motors but Tatey was telling me they are lovely motors at 40K, but get a bit loose around 50K??

    I know the old accord R's were put out to tender [for sale]. Keep your eyes peeled in the back of the courier I guess.

    I have no idea how often they come up though or how much they ended up going for. Pretty low mileage from what I can remember. Although one was on its 2nd engine I think :lol:
