Blast.....just look at your timings. I\'m logging in to tell you about it and there\'s 2 posts in already.....Hope the vote counters are as quick as you guys on election night. Billericay wasn\'t it - always first result in!

Think the little seaside car above will not turn another wheel.

Selling cos the tax and mot have run out, sounds odd.
If it was a good car wouldnt you put a ticket on it to sell it.

Hmmm,dose\'nt instill confidence for buyers?
I\'d be dubious about buying a car resprayed 8 months ago,unless they had photographic evidence it was done properly & not just a blow over.
It may be a good car,but then again?

Got it now guys....Thanks all. That makes only 6 1st Gens in Scotland....all S3\'s.

Ideal 2nd car to the ministerial jag for Gord?  Soon get all the potholes fixated...and the fuel taxed reduced.

This is why there\'s no opal green cars left,they keep getting resprayed a different colour!
This one & about 4 others i\'ve seen 4 sale in the last year all opal green originally,not anymore.
I like the opal green,think it looks classy.

I must say that opal green is my least favourite of all the 1st gen colours, but there again, I just hate green.
I\'d never buy a green car, full stop.
I know that there are some really clean opal green cars in the club and I can appreciate the work that goes into keeping them that way but it\'s not for me.
The other problem with them is that most of them appear to have interior colours that seem to clash with the paintwork. ie. brown...
Even if you respray the car a different colour, which again devalues it, you are still stuck with a dodgy interior colour.

Well maybe i\'m biased,i love green,off topic a pic of my dax cobra in BRG,it\'s a much darker green than the mazda opal green,some cars it suits,some it may not.

I agree with you on the brown interiors though,not my thing either.
