I suppose it had to happen...

cslgirl · 27-07-2011, 08:02 AM

the thoughts of selling the csl have been creeping in recently. Usually the thought pops into my head and disappears again quickly. But I actually uttered the words "let's sell the car" the other day. I have backtracked again but I am more tempted now than I ever have been.

I wouldn't want to replace the csl as the reason for selling would be to release the cash for me to progress my business. But then I do think if I progress well, I could buy one again, but it wouldn't be the virgin car I have now. Ohh decisions decisions. Come on guys.. I need csl therapy to banish these thoughts from my head.

Actually it could be a 7 year itch thinking about it.

I know where you're coming from, I really do and I think we all have thoughts of selling, especially when you hear of some of the prices some are changing hands for right. And, when you think how far £25K - £30K to go in todays world as far as job securities and house deposits go, no one gets blamed for thinking along these lines.

But then, you take her out for a right good ripping session, particularly (read obviously) on a track and once you hear that airbox, thread her through some decent bends creating some organ dislodging 'G' Forces at some crazy speeds, you'll soon forget about everything, not only the £25K sitting in the car.

Or, watch the CSL Clip on Top Gear youtube...

Nooooo CSL girl.....

1. History is strewn with those who have regrets....even those who have moved onto "better" cars. Many return like Lawsy... Says a lot.

2.not a bad place to keep your ££ as more continue to have incidents.

3. Glendog said he'll ban anyone from here who sells, so you'll miss the home of witty banter

Ok, that last one ain't strictly true.....

Whatever you do, just don't buy an M6

cslgirl · 27-07-2011, 08:34 AM

Thanks Baz! Makes me feel better

The car is so part of the family that even talking (writing) about selling it feels... sort of out of order.

I love that video - off to watch it now me thinks. Maybe I did move to the wrong island...

@ yanto

Yes, there are many csl selling regrets - have seen many over the years.

The money in the car is better than the interest from the bank. I think this is the main thing with me, wanting to keep it for later. My dad always regrets selling his E-type when petrol prices rose in the 60's and if he had it now...... Kids love it too so would love to "give" it to them one day.

You know, I would miss this place too much and have to change my username everywhere so 70% keeping at the mo

M6.....

nOT ONLY WILL YOU MISS THE FORUM .... THE FORUM WILL MISS YOU TOO ! FOOK CAPS BUGGER ! trying to type a serious post here and cant get that fooker right even !

As Baz says, though I think the bit about his speeds and g-forces is a little fantasy !

, nothing else in the price range even comes close, and , as we have seen just recently , there are fewer and fewer of them on the road, which can only help prices. I have been doing my best lately to reduce the number of black CSL's out there by lending mine out to some really dodgy people to drive, but they failed ! Sell the children into slavery before you sell the CSL !!
