The guy asked me, 'how do you drive this normally? Surely you need to hear that roar all the time?'

His face was just like mine the first time I drove it... I'll miss that.

True, but they have parking restrictions on my road now... I have my mk1 Escort, the wife's Golf GTi, my CSL, my DC5 and now my M3...

Space is an issue for me. I shouldn't have bought the DC5, the E46 BMW has got under my skin.

If I had a bigger drive and garage, I'd keep both along with the old Escort then I'd probably add an E30 M3. Good job I don't have a bigger drive!

DC5 is up for sale already... now I'm starting to do man maths to justify keeping.... stop it. No, seriously, it needs someone else to enjoy it. I hope the new owner, whoever it may be, will join here and post so that I can reminisce.

I've really loved it but it's time to let go. I've had 2 people ex owners call me who want to get back into a CSL. It is one of those cars that gets right under your skin. The noise is

"Man Maths" is a very dangerous thing however now that you're a proud owner of a tidy E46 M3 this should (in theory) ease the passage of the Cecil to it's next owner. It would be cool if one of the previous owners pulls the triger on it and keeps it within the CSLR community
Fingers crossed for Ya Max

Keep all the cars, sell the Wife and Kids.

Or move to a street that don't have nanny parking restrictions... park in someone elses drive?
