You'd have to seel it Andy.
As you say, you cant be bothered doing the work, but if you were to break it, you would have more work to do. :wink:

Re: sell or break by hipo1024 on Tue May 17, 2011 4:31 pm
I'm sure Ive heard this before??? :roll:

as above, breaking would be a poo more work than fixing its small and few problems!! and you'll NEVER get your moneys worth for it considering the work and effort you have put into it. I'd keep it till it has nout more to give! And anyways, you love that truck really, we all know it and so do you!

As I heard on the radio the other day, its good to have the odd tiff with your loved ones :P so from here it looks like you and scorpion have a very healthy relationship! :P

Re: sell or break by andysd1 on Tue May 17, 2011 5:25 pm
got my mind set on something else, just think the B series is a week motor of road, compared to the A,

and i would have fun taking it apart,

and there is easy a £1000 in breaking

Re: sell or break by hipo1024 on Tue May 17, 2011 5:46 pm
depends how u drive it I guess, Drive it like I do and your bound to break somthing, no matter what it is. lol. I agree that the A's are better offroad but only really because they are much simpler so have less to go wrong. I still think u should keep it andy! even if u do only put it up on a plinth because it is WAY to good to break, and it cant leave the FOG! mind u, with its URLs I dout it'l ever leave the FOG lol

Re: sell or break by jontera on Tue May 17, 2011 9:26 pm
it has to be SELL...

it's easier for one thing, and another is that your wife will kill you if you start breaking another outside the house..

fix the thing and then sell..we know that you want to go back to a 2.8, and by selling you'll have the money in your hand in a single payment for one..I will even offer you a hand in fixing the v6, it's far too good to break..
The greatest lesson in life is to know that even us idiots are right sometimes

the B is a car with 4x4 capabilities, the A is the 4x4 with car capabilities,

now if they had produced a A series 3.2, that would be nice
