I don't get the reference.

What do you mean?

 

It's a meme about short attention spans and being easily distracted from the movie 'Up'.

Ah yeah, I know the movie.

Attention span and distraction have hit again. I'm now looking at an Audi S3.

I really appreciate all the advice I've had here.

@DutyPaid

It is just a case of finding someone that was just like you and prepared to buy a modified Mk2 vRS Fabia estate and more modified than when you got it a short while ago.

Usually the issue is persuading them if they know about twinchargers that it is a good one and you have not bought an oil user and moving it on again quickly.

 

?

How much do you want for it if you are selling?

I rushed into this purchase.

But the test drive made me weak at the knees. It's so much fun, really quick, and there's plenty of room for my fishing tackle.

I turned 51 years old a couple of days ago. I want to be wrapped in leather and luxury.

So, I'm looking at a BMW 430d, 435d, or an Audi S3. Maybe a Mazda 3 or 6 or maybe a Volvo V40.

I'm fortunate that I'm in a position to buy whatever I like without selling the Fabia, but I don't really want to own two cars.

 

I've spent over a grand on my vRS since I bought it in April. £480 on Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres, £300 on new wishbones and £300 on a new drivers seat belt(fitted by Skoda Stockport).

It's for sale on ebay for £5575. I'll be losing a few quid as I'm into it for £5700.

But that's ok. I'll happily accept £5500.

Just sold it.

Thanks everyone for the advice over the past few weeks.

Really appreciate it.

Just a quick update, for anybody that has helped me here and may be interested.

I went for a 2017 Volvo V40 T5. As new, mint inside and out with only 21k on the clock. The leather seats look like they haven't been sat on.

Cheaper insurance than the Fabia vRS too, which surprised me, given the larger engine, all wheel drive and 245bhp.

 

Thanks again to everyone.
