Husky Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Well, in some form of adult like decision (I say "adult like" as in reality I am an imposter posing as an adult). I have decided to put the GT4 on hold, and by "on hold" I mean under a car cover at the parents house. Essentially I have a long term plan to finish up everything down here (west midlands) and head back home (scotland). I have a house to renovate that costs money and needs a more practical car. Thus I shall be buying a brand new fiesta eco thing with work discount, it works out about £100 a month for the car and after 9 months i can trade it in getting about 1k back. Warranty, cheap insurance, no surprise repairs, 3x the mpg, can lug cement bags around, less power, struggling to join a motorway, never overtaking anything, crying softly into my pillow at night at the lack of whooshy sounds. I just thought I would share the depressing news with people who would understand :'( Edited July 11, 2014 by Husky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 That sucks, can't you sell an organ or something and keep the Zed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Should have said Celica GT4, I've as yet not looked into the organ black market but I'd still take the same route I think. I can afford to keep the car, but withuot it around I speed up the whole house renovate process and thus get home sooner. Once home I can pull the cover off and play all I want 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock_Steady Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) ah, I've done this. I put my GT4 under wraps about 6 months ago. been slowly refurbing wheels, arches and callipers. Yeah, you'll miss the wooshy sounds, turbo whine, the roar of a 3S-GTE underload, the awesome cornering, the limp like grip, the thrill of........

coldel Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Ah I feel your pain mate - still the stuff you are doing in the meantime will keep your mind off it and then BANG before you know it that cover will be coming off and you can go barnstorming around snowy Scotland in your 4WD whooshing machine. Although if they vote yes, we might have to charge you £100000000 to cross the border. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 I'm not even allowed to fricken vote for my own country, it's ridiculous, although best not let this degenerate into a discussion about politics... Would be nice to get up there and have a house bought before god knows what happens with the border Since I bought the GT4 I have managed to miss every single snowfall for the last two years aside from 1 single day. humph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 My neighbour moved down to here from Glasgow six months ago after spending 30 odd years living there - in fact he is MD of a major Scottish energy company (one which the Yes Vote campaign would like its fiscal ideals to lean on to make Scotland financially sound) yet he isn't allowed to vote! Thats the mentality of what is going on up there...huhhh. I was sooooo close to buying a GT4, was actually from a guy in Scotland, this one - seemed in good nick too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 There's a few tidy examples hanging around, it's getting harder and harder to find one though! I wanted a specific colour (not black, white or silver) so it made it even harder. In the end I settled for one with some potential issues but I was fairly happy to deal with them.
