No TypeRiter - I picked it up second hand - six months old and with 9,000 on the clock in October 2002. It is my first car hence a lot of hard earned and graft went into its straight purchase. CTRs were a rare find at the start of the decade and I was after a NHB one but the silver looked great and it was in good nick despite the higher than average mileage. It also has the OEM MiniDisc player...
I'm very much of the mind-set of work hard and take care of the things you have worked hard for. I've only had minor problems with the CTR - it has been a lot more reliable than expected and it still gives me the sense of occasion when tootling about.
Glad to hear it. Reassuring to know it's been problem-free motoring
I hope I can boast the same account, when it comes to a similar period of time, ownership-wise/time to change cars, as I've waited a long time for an EP3, and I've got one, finally - even if the thieves intervened momentarily.. fcukers. I hear you on the graft - I had done that to get an EP3 myself, but I gave into a good deal on an FN2 (Not sure whether you're aware of the fact that I had an FN2 before my Prem) thinking that, that money would see me tidy on a new car, a new plate, associated perks, hassle-free etc. etc. I regretted it a month into taking delivery, lost a lot of money as you do with depreciation on brand new cars etc. etc. - and to cap it off, got pangs of jealousy everytime I saw an EP whiz by. It's where I wanted to be, it's the Type-R ownership I wanted - so I just gave it back incurring massive losses - like straight 'EP3 buyout money' losses, - I shouldn't have fanny'd around in the first place...
Anyway... water. under. bridge. et al..
In regard to the OEM MiniDisc player, like I said - veteran tenure matey, don't know of anyone else whom can boast that... definitely unique.
Satin's are nice - I would have waited for a NHB personally... 'ang on.. :smt047
