Sadly, I have had to make the same decision as Paul.
Time for the XF to go.

Dunno yet, something newer. I don't have the time to work on a car whenever it feels like it.

Good luck with the sale. It's lways a shame when you have to aprt with something that you've put work into. Though, there's always a time to cut and run.

Cheers

3500?

Maybe I'll have to keep looking...
I'd love a sprint but I doubt they are within budget.

as much as it's a cliche, you just have to be patient...(sounds wierd even when i type it).

i'd shelved the idea of a project/ weekend car and was just going to let it go for 12 months or so, then it all just fell into place. to me the sprint is probably the closest i'll ever get to owning a classic gt or mustang, so i jumped at the chance.

the reality is though if you got a decent fairmont v8 or xr8 and spent some money on it- it'd go just as hard.
