I agree with most of this ... but surely, it is justifiable that someone can spend (send) their hard-earned cash as they see fit. I suspect you would be very displeased if someone told you that spending it on your family was barred?

If you put it that way, we are all "biggots" in one way or the other. All shapes and sizes my friend... I'm just shocked and not only by the illiteracy of a university lecturer. Still, if it's just me...

That really is an astonishingly bigotted post and doesn't do you any credit

Given your mods it's extremely unlikely to be serious in my view. Most CELs with mods are as a result of pre and post cat sensors objecting (ie not acting in a predictable, consistent manner) I would highly recommend just doing an ECU reset (details here) and if, and only if, the problem recurs going to the dealer - merely based on having better options on which to spend your hard-earned

As for there being lots of silvers and greys, thats because they are more popular as colours - yes there are more second hand ones but there are also more potential buyers so it won't depress values as suggested. I agreed with everything you said until the last bit. A popular colour = more cars for sale = more choice = more bargaining power for buyers = you have to price it lower than the competition. It gets complicated with niche colours like TO. The amount of people that like the colour is very small hence the lower prices but then if someone REALLY REALLY wants one then they may pay a premium. I got strong money for the UY GT4 and the Gallardo mainly because they were rare and desireable colours that people wanted to pay a premium for. Agreed if what you mean ("like the colour") is that the number of people who buy determined solely on colur is limited. In my view, it's very much a lower-order effect compared to ticket price {unless you are buying new} .. but in certain cases can make the difference I guess

+1 somewhat biased I realise, but really looks classy in that colour

This is especially for Sarnie as I know he likes me to give my views after a few beers ... JohnK, clearly you don't have an interesting life, and I don't know who PaulK is (sorry ) so stop p!ssballing around and give us a decent review and/or stop copying your posts lock-stock from another forum
