No new car yet, still don't know whether i should buy a new car or invest the money i've got. No rush, still driving the SL/E that gets me from a to b (albiet very slowly)

Lol that'd send my insurance through the roof, cost good money, completely devalue the SL/E and still leave me driving a 25 year old car every day.. not to mention the fuel, i gotta commute an hour in traffic each way to work! Plus V8s are for girls Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah fair enough, you did build it up over a few years, but others just dropping 10 grand into a 20 year commo like its nothing i cant understand.. I reckon your right to sell it and get a reliable/sensible car for now then start again down the track on something else...like a rotor haha
