Serves you right for removing the cat.
Still one of my favourite RX7s ever. Love it Si!
i demand updates!
He going to sell it and do an "arry"
Short update: No money to reinsure, retax and MOT, weighing up how much I actually use it and whether or not having something less special, and a bit less mental, but with 4 seats (so our tiny family of 3 can actually enjoy it) or a super competent daily. Possibly scratch the rear engined itch as that ticks all of the boxes.
Although I'm being a bit shit at that, as I'm still buying parts and tools for it
But I'm avoiding the issue by just not thinking about it. It'd never be sold as a car, I'm pretty confident of that.

When's the porker arriving?
I can see the attractions of the badge but an IQ would have saved you a bundle. Whats the depreciation like over the Toyota.
I don't know, for there to be any depreciation data, they'd have to have sold a sample large enough to provide meaningful stats
(It may or not be a pool car my wife has borrowed from work... Never has 'I've borrowed another Aston' been so disappointing. )
What the ,,,,it's even got little fake vents in the bonnet,horrid little thing,,,,, burn it and deny any involvement
the Fd is still cool as btw
Looks more like a Ford
Saw a few driving round Vauxhall, London Bridge, Southwark a couple of years ago so your wifes employer isn't the only badge whore out there
Hehehe, the reason the employer has them is because they haven't managed to sell them So they just use them as pool cars. The funny bit is that they've given her that for the 2 and a half hour journey to Goodwood, as all of their non shite fleet are on the stand
But linked to that, it's basically her fault that my 911 dream is getting stronger - she keeps borrowing things like this:
Which really makes it hit home that a 'posh' but-not-quite-as-fast car is sometime a nicer thing to have than a very fast but rattly older one.

That's more like it, as in a proper Aston, engine turned around the right way and connected to the correct end of the car
and an large capacity engine not some puny generator engine sprinkled with glitter
nice but I will never own anything so valuable, so rusty old datsun it is for me
Rattly can always be sorted Si - you just need to care enough to put the time in rather than throwing cash at another that isn't as pretty.
I like the concept of the Sygnets - uber-posh luxury you won't find anywhere else in a city car! Minis are the next closest thing.
