Well to be honest, i didnt need to drive it, ive got another 3, and i thought the hydrallic rams might have more fun with it! Kept the number plates and VIN Plate in rememberance! :P Oh and James, the two sheets of metal to weld in would probably have cost more than the car! :lol:

Yeah but you know, If I think like that, I would never buy something for my 360... A car audio installation will cost more!

We have to distinguish the ridiculous "official" car's value on the second hands car market and the REAL car value...

This is very true...my car is worth about £150 on the open market.... But I'd have to spend about £4000 to get anything sufficiently better to justify the expense...besides...I've loved my car for the past 12 years, and I'm not about to stop...
