The 4.6is is gone

Post by JimmySpeed » Sun Mar 23, 2014 12:41 pm

The new buyer collected it yesterday.  I will miss it. After all the trouble I had when I first got it, it was a brilliant car once all was repaired.

It has been replaced with an e70 so it's not all bad news!

I bet its sad to see the old car go - but hopefully to a good home and someone who will appreciate it as much as you did looking at the condition.

But I think the new makes up of it as it one looks good in white with black roof and wheels

Lmao. It's just an ind.estate round the corner where I take pictures due to the privacy. I always feel like an idiot taking numerous shots of my car in public.

Yeah the new buyer has already detailed it and sent the wheels off for a refurb apparently.

Thoughts on the 4.6 vs the e70? Performace? Handling etc?
