SOLD
« on: 20 February 2010, 02:41 AM »
Hi fellow Orgers,

I thought you may be interested in knowing that I have sold a second car this moth.

Goldie (1977 Euro 6.9) has gone to a good home not far from where I live, or about a hours drive away.

The new owner is over the moon with it's mechanical condition and the sound of the recent sports exhausts.

Now I'm down to one! Silverardo.

Cheers

Rob

whats going on with the selling of the 6.9's ?

is there something you're not telling us, ie, taken fancy of a different type of car, or have you simply come to your senses ? Wink

I've never seen or driven a 6.3, but I did look at a video of one on a race track. Man, that car took off like a scalded cat---talk about fast! Holy cow! Makes my 2.8 look like a M.B. golf cart.  Shocked

Whoa, congrats robert.  Good call I reckon.  Why have two or three 6.9's when you can have one 6.9 and a 6.3.  Makes sense really.  Or you could have a few variations of each LOL.  I do wish I could clear my wrecks for some variation.  Well done!

Having driven a couple of 6.3's and allmost buying one in the 90's yes they take of a lot quicker than a 6.9 very excitting car to drive but they do float about more than a 6.9 and are not as refinned to drive but after a short drive you will be grinning like a loon Grin
