It wasn't an easy decision that's for sure but I'm not getting any younger but I'm still at home at 29. I need to move out and buy my own house!
I'm taking the hatch with me so I'll stay in the torana circle still, only thing I have done is to get a cheap car to run around in. Suzuki cappucino! (at least it's factory - no milo tin or led's!). couple of pics:

lol! I expected a reaction like this! It is Tiiiny but it's got everything I could ask for in such a small car - power windows, hardtop or convertible, 5 speed manual, full leather interior, 3 cylinder (!) turbo and aircon with pwr steering... I didn't sell the A9X in order to buy it - just seemed like a good purchase!

Has he told you he's gonna drop a worked V8 in her? haha just kidding.
Turbo 3cyl still might boogie in a little car like that, can't get over the full leather interior! I'm hoping a loud exhaust to compensate for the lack of V8s in the car collection should be on the list though... (That is for the Hatch, not the Cappucino!)

What do you mean? He's already posted photos of the new car.

Dirty Deeds, trust me, he's serious. (I don't know any sale information or anything, that may want to be kept private), but he wouldn't have PM'd me giving me all the news if it was just for a joke to see some people's reactions

Ahh well, I agree it's a bit of a shame to let it go. Came as a suprise to me at least, I rode in that car once and thought it was an absolute blast, even though I've been in cars with three times as much grunt (literally, thanks Glenn

) but that thing was just unbelievable to ride in. It feels good knowing that it's the genuine article, fully original, and the sound of that 308 getting up to speed was fantastic!

Having said that, I don't think I could hold onto a certain car for that long, just because it is a special rare model. Who knows, he may own another A9X again some time. Best of luck to you anyway, Sean.

YOU CAN LIVE IN A CAR BUT YOU CAN'T RACE A HOUSE

I can understand selling the A9X to buy a house because I sold a car to do the same many years ago.
But there is no excuse for buying that little thing it looks like it fell out of a HAPPY MEAL LOL

PS: Good luck with all Flamenco
