lol, chill out Luis I am only messing around with you. You are right 951's can be real pita to master, they require much more than other cars because of age and because of their racing nature, it took me a while to master the beast, but you can buy a evo or sti and you will indeed learn how to master the bate like any other jap car owner.

I never wanted to master it, I just wanted it to run right, I agree, it is a PITA and I don't have the patience for it anymore, I think I'm just gonna get an SUV since that's what the wife wants...

Thanks, I still love the 951, it will always be the most beautiful car I've ever seen (nicest nose at least, not to mention that figure 8 body), I guess i outgrew it, I have a 14 month old and he is my pride and joy now...

None the less, the Pompe-Duse motors WILL be here next year, we're informed, and if I don't get the petrol FSI, I'd love nothing more than a GT-D with DSG... Hehehe...

Completely OT here, but the US has been selling low-sulphur diesel(15ppm) for months, I think since last October?, and will have it everywhere by next year. Still, no VW/Audi diesels for sale out here

LFA, I've got a great 1998 Mercedes E320 4matic you might like! A superb car in fantastic shape. It has to go to fund a new project...

congradulations on selling the car so quick, It sounds like both choices would be great BMW or MAZDA as long as its not more than a few yrs old since youre not in the mood to work on anything for a while.

I only had the ad up for a week and it sold just like that, totally got me off surprise, I want to stay away from German cars for now, Japs are more economical and cheaper to maintain, plus my speeding days are over, here is a link to the ad for those who didn't see it...

its an enthusiasts car if you don't wish to master it you shouldn't have one .i think Mazda's and subus over 5 years are a horrer but audis at that age are great .. if you don't do your own work ask your mechanic then buy what he says then everytime he has to work on it you remind him he then charges you 30% hrs trying to defend his choice in car .

When you put the car in autotrader,did you have to do all the set up work or do they do that for you, I thinking about putting mine in next week.

My mechanic is a close friend and he charges me whatever I want to give him, I usually give him 50% of what everyone else would charge ($80 hr. labor rate)

I did it all myself, most of the pictures I had in my computer, the rest are of the engine and I took those the same day I posted the ad, not bad for $69 investment. I would recommend you put it on the Autotrader, I tried Ebay a week, but that's not enough time, most people here would probably not agree with it, but it is the largest online car seller, plus they have the magazine, can't beat that, and people can see it worldwide, go figure, my buyer is from Vancouver, Canada!
