You'll be very happy. Dave, maybe not so much. Titaniums are hard to let go and this is a real good one.

Yep I'm sure I will be happy, if it's as good as it looks, & I'm sure it will be. The deal's done, The deposit's paid. I'm going to truck it up to NQ. I'm getting quotes, but if anyone knows of anyone reputable & affordable, please let me know. Looking forward to my new ride. I've been too long without a 5 (6 weeks) & I won't be loaning this one to Nina (she's got my old ute) :mrgreen:

Congrats on the quick purchase mate! :mrgreen:

Ti is a great colour (but I'm biased), hope you enjoy the new toy and at least take Nina for a ride so she can appreciate what she's missing out on. :wink:

Sorry, just for a bit of clarity (I'm easily confused :oops: ). Which Ti did you end up buying?
Was it the one down in Victoria or Dave's one in Sydney?

Have used Toll & Ceva a number of times over the last few years. Believe Prix now carry for Toll, so haven't used them, but have used Ceva a couple of times recently. Ceva was very good, as was Toll.

Thought i might weigh in here.

Yes it was mine that was purchased.

It will be VERY sad to see it go, however with the wife working in the CBD again, i can drop her at the station on the way to work, thus reducing the need for the 2nd car. We upgraded her car to a 2006 liberty GT Premium, so that gets daily duties, as the automatic, and climate control just make for a better ride in traffic.

We will still have a 2nd car, but ill downgrade to something VERY cheap for those occasions where we go our separate ways on the weekend.

The spare change from all of this will be spent on a new kitchen i promised the missus.

Also, add to the fact that my uncle has left his 1974 Alfa Spider at my parents 1km from my place for 1-2 years while he is working overseas.

He has asked me to take it for a run every 2 weeks (or so). So i technically still have a convertible whenever i want. :)

The Melb car's sold. So I jumped the right way The red car was never really in the race. Call me shallow, but it would've needed to be a mint SP for me to get past the colour.
Nice Spider BTW. I could get over loosing my fun car, if I had that to fall back on too.
