hello, i used to have 2002 DC5 NHB. I sold it as at the time i was buying a house and had a rather nice BMW 320 M-Sport from work (but the benefit-in-kind tax code turned out to be horrible)
Well in short after getting the house (and i did need the money) I changed job and at the time I picked myself a tidy 2006 CDTI ex civic as i planned to do huge mileage, all the add-ons from a Honda stealership and everything.
I have changed jobs again and the company gives me a good amount of cash (no car) doesn't care what car i own - i do have about 200miles per week commuting and occasionally (less then once a month) trek off to a customer within hundred miles with good mileage allowance.
I keep thinking of something fun and trackdays etc. Although i do have space it would be a bit cramped with 2 cars instead of 1.
There is a wedding up coming so i am short of cash, on the other hand I think I could trade in the civic for another DC5 or perhaps an older TT 225 etc. Something that i can use on the road with smiles as well as a couple of track days. Although the CDTI is efficient, i think i am saving about 300quid a year.
On the other hand i can go and get the CDTI chipped with a new clutch breaks and suspension for diesel track fun - this might keep me quiet.
Any thoughts?
