She's left on a truck from Brisbane to Sydney

Well after 4 and a half years I've sold my velocity red 2004 6spd leather. I got $24K as a trade so not too bad I suppose.

Replacement is a 2006 M3 ex BMW exec car with 11000 k's on it. Never been privately owned so I still get the M drive day.


Abit sad to see the rx8 go but am sure the M3 will put a big smile on the face.

I do tend to get bored with cars quickly so the Mazda did well to keep me happy this long. Have to say the complete lack of torque gets to you after a while. Get beeten at a set of lights by a VW Polo.

All the best to you all

The M3's a good bit of kit. If all goes well I think an E46 M3 will replace my RX8 when the time comes to upgrade (not for a while yet!!!).

Shameless plug - check out www.eurocca.net - it's a Euro car club with a pretty big bias toward BMWs.

If you're going to get an E46 they're already too old now, you might as well get an E30!

Michael, you seriously don't expect them to appreciate do you..

Keep it for 30 years and you will get your money back (provided it is in smick condition)

And provided you can still buy dino fuel!
