Oh god, not my doing I hope?!
I guess actually have two decisions to make, which are pretty much opposites but both cost all the money

There's always asking in person if you get RSI .. 
As such the Busa will be going up for sale, until such a time as I'm ready to push on with the next steps. No rush to sell it, I'd just rather it was getting used more. 
. I still think you need to get it on track first.... no point selling a plastic car at this time of year anyway, right? (Bahnstormer) | 2004 RX8 231 (the Racecat) | 2001 Volvo V70 (Swedish eBay barge)| 1988 MR2 SC Super Edition Good job there's news... Magic Beans wrote:

It is about time I got around to doing this though 
There's so many other things going on in the world right now cars have taken a back-seat. That and winter have meant that both of them have been sleeping, but at least they were warm and dry.. 
.. Well, it was. Last weekend we were up there, with the intention of bringing it home. Unfortunately someone forgot to tax it, much to her disappointment, so it will be coming home next weekend instead. The battery has been struggling for a while, so it needed some assistance to get it going. Thankfully the jolly farmer and his trusty tractor were there to lend a hand. First time I've ever hand to jump a car using a tractor 
It being 100 miles away makes it kinda difficult to do. It's not like popping out to the garage for 10 minutes.... It's natural that when you don't drive something for so long you lose a little bit of motivation to get out and use it. Well, I do at least I was pretty resolute on selling it as soon as the weather picked up, but I felt we had unfinished business. So once we got back from Italy it was off for an MOT.
Popped on some tax and off we went, to have nature forced into my eye sockets once again 
By means of payment for allowing them to use it royalty free 
Watch this space..If I do keep the Busa (which is still undecided) I'd be looking at getting it wrapped again. The yellow I quite like but I like I'd be looking at going all gloss black throughout, to go with the black wheels and various carbon bits. I must admit, I'm a little in love with the idea. I personally like the ultra stealth look, with possibly only the exhaust system staying in full stainless.

Come to think of it I think it looks quite a bit like that one 
However, I have found something with potential Mule VI being the one that's potentially going to be with me for a very long time.. It would be a totally different level to it's predecessors, both in terms of finish and inevitably cost. A very big and potentially very long project... with a V8 in it (Super Edition) is gone. It now resides in Germany, in the hands of a collector. Mule IV (Busa), I'm sure you're also aware, is gone. The garage (now a workshop) is clean and empty of cars, which has been refreshing to be honest.
