    sparkles

    Oh well, it has happened. Sparkles is dead :(
    She is advertised on gumtree to part out.
    Bit sad to see but am also having to keep in mind that I don't own her any more and it's not my problem.
    Just thought I would post this up before people start pm'ing me asking.
    Didn't copy the link but can be found by searching.
    Andy :( :zlove:

    I wish

    I wish I had bought her back :(
    The fact is that I traded her in on the 350z and got 5k, this guy bought her from the car yard 2 weeks later for 12.5k, then 12 months later tried to sell her for 14k. The price has gone steadily down from there and now it is written off. I am going to go have a look at her tonight, not to buy back, just to see if I can buy the nose panel that I made, just to hang over my bar.
    I am going to be very sad to see her in this condition but as I said in my other post "I have to keep in mind that it is not my problem".
    Oh well it is an end to a nice zed. RIP. Sparkles :zlove:
    Andy :(

    The motor was stock as a rock, had good compression, stock manual turbo's, big intercoolers, a full 2 1/2" twin exhaust from megan racing dumps out to 4 1/2" tips. It did a 13.4 sec 1/4 mile time at 12lb of boost.
    Andy :cool:
