Don't break it then, enjoy it for what it is for a while

By the time I mot it, start a new insurance policy and tax the bugger it'll have cost me more than its worth. I got a company car this year so the first time ever I'm in a position where I can have a second car, and although I was hugely surprised by it, I have to be honest and say I don't actually like or want a 480 turbo. It's never appealed to me aesthetically and the fact it's fwd means it's no good for drifting unless I go round in reverse.

Unless someone has a better offer then it's the end of the road for this one I'm afraid.
