Yep. Done it again! Civic lasted four months two days. Was collected today by the new owner. On the plus side it didn't cost me a penny in those four months (apart from a bit of fuel).

Only sold it as a new Z3 project has come my way which I couldn't pass up as it may never happen again!

No, not by a long chalk!
I had a Rover SD1 (V8) for 8 days in 1995. Took that long because the AT advert was by post then! :D

That link was for MY car Tim. I was trying to sell it to you! :roll:

Didn't matter as I had 11 people seriously wanting it (at full asking) within a week.
