thanks for all the replies everyone
Managed to secure somewhere for it to live for a very reasonable fee for now, but it's not going to be long term Plus the Mrs has finally had enough of it sitting about and wants it gone. She made a very good argument about all the other things I could do with the money it freed up - like finishing off the engine in the Subaru the way I want it (which makes a load of sense as that's what I'm currently using on the track fairly regularly anyway) Ross did sound interested, but never returned any of my phone calls / messages :no: |
Glad it's got a new home for now - I hope you see it through to completion; even if you then move it on...
The counter argument to spending the money on the Scooby, is that once you have the touring car finished you'd be using that instead..... (playing devil's advocate). I know keeping my ZS & getting it finished is a heart decision not a head one; but sometimes you just got to go with the flow and take that hit! Good luck, hope you do get it finished though! |

Ive also spent years and thousands on one off bikes but the moment the visor went down and i hit the track all that was forgotten although i did sell a bespoke RGV500 before i spanked it good and proper after a rather fruity day at Cadwell PArk :trampoline: Just imagine the surge of excitement as you sit in pit lane waiting to be let onto track :trampoline::trampoline: P. |

Easy for others to comment as it's not us who have put in all the time, effort and cash thus far. Only you know where your head is. If it's - that's it, I'm through, no more for me - fair enough. I think your decision of - pause, store, review before I get rid - is a good common sense way to deal with what has been a huge investment in terms of finance, effort and emotion. |
Even if you don't decide to track it - or only do a few installation laps and then keep it is a show car or sell it on I get the impression you'd regret the decision - even if at the time you'll feel like a huge weight has been lifted.
I say this as I've had the same thoughts about the ZS myself; I nearly threw in the towel a number of times - when it got stranded on the farm I was made an offer to "take it off my hands" and I was very very tempted. |

Thanks all for the comments
Trust me all thoughts that have crossed my mind many many times already. It's looking likely that it will be staying for at least the time being - I've actually started to collect bits for the engine again so it might even make a bit of forward progress. I just need somewhere to work on it and the time to do it now! Just need to buy a bigger shed so I can get the other half of my double garage emptied of all the stuff in there |
I'm sure I remember someone asking about this?
Happened upon a Facebook page about it https://www.facebook.com/EX259/ Drew |
