Well its a sad time

[haGGard]

The puma is now sitting in the garage, uninsured. Cant afford to run two cars atm so the puma will be up for sale. My brother is interested in it though so hopefully it will stay in the family! Seems a bit odd (maybe even daft) to sell a car that i've thrown so much money at, but you only live once. If my brother isnt interested, it will be on here for sale first, as i'd rather it went to a club owner/enthusiast.

Probably wont be on here much. Cheers to anyone who's offered help along the way. This forum is full of knowledge and i especially liked the 'how to guides' section which other forums just dont have.

Cheers!

I have clearly not been paying attention, but what did you buy in the end?

 

[haGGard]

Sierra Saphire 2.0. Cue the laughs :lol:

 

[FlashBastd]

better than a 1.8!

2.0 DOHC EFI?

 

[haGGard]

yeah its the 2.0 dohc.

Got it sideways yesterday. thats never going to get old! What a feeling!

Mainly bought for practicality, as i was struggling with space in the puma. Buggy's and small puma boots dont mix! But this is a little bit of fun too.

Another Cossie look alike?

 

[crystalpuma]

Yea i think they're ok, dont want to own one though. I did consider one, for about 2 minutes. It is indeed only a cossie replica, but its been done well with the full leather interior/dash/wheels ect.

I won't be at FITP or Ford Fair this year as i'm working nights when they happen (i only work nights 1 week in 6 but they always seem to be when things are on!!!!) However i should be at battlesbridge car show in essex soon. Not on a stand tho obviously.

 

[pumadad2010]

never mind always next year and plenty of pictures to look at on here once uploaded

Well with nearly 2 weeks into ownership of this car, im having second thoughts. Although i prefer the look of the car and the feel of when i drive it more, its not actualy that easy to live with. Its very low (which is cool) but the front splitter makes speedbumps and reversing out of my drive interesting. Also as its been lowered by a huge amount the wheels/tyres are knocking on the spring/shock when turning (common feature of a lowered sierra) and this is very noticable when reversing especially.

I'ts so spacious and has tons of room inside the main cockpit, and the boot, and these are what i mainly wanted, its just the cons seems to outweight the pro's atm. Also its been SO hot today and god did i miss that air con!! :lol:

Will give it another week or two and see what i decide.

 

[haGGard]

Well tomorrow im planning on re-insuring the puma. Quite glad i've still got it, i'm actually looking forward to driving it again to be honest! :grin:

 

[pumadad2010]

puma rules!!!!

 

[haGGard]

Wow after not driving it about a month it feels so nippy! After being apart im realising what i nearly threw away!

 

[pumadad2010]

that sierra was shocking id rather be seen in a KA (which aint never gonna happen)

 

[haGGard]

Nah man sierra is cool, great for a budget drift and theres nothing better than getting the tail out and holding it there. Will be getting sold tomorrow for more than i paid for it hopefully though!

 

[MrPark3r]

Glad you're Puma is back! ...Hope the selling of the Sierra goes well!
