    Morning all and update on the Seven One Eight

    Morning All,

    how are we all doing on this fine Thursday morning ?

    So, the seven one eight comes closer to happening.

    Spoke to the Dealer yesterday and he said,

    if you don't order a new one right now, you won't ever get one

    because

    from Q2 next year they are ceasing to manufacture petrol ones and they will only do electric ones

    this means, after Q2 next year if you want one of these with the petrol engine in the boot your only option will
    be a nine eleven

    and we all know how much those things cost

    so I done the configuration and waiting for the dealer to provide the financing illustration

    need to check with the accountant if a one man band can have two cars vee ay tee free

    and then we are good to go

    since they won't be making them any more and the only entry point in future will be the nine elevens
    I have the feeling this will slow the depreciation

    whatta you all think

    toodle pip

          I tried one of them, but went for something a bit more fun and from a dealer that was interested in talking to customers (unlike the OPCs in England)

                On the upside, you're spot on with the marque.

                    ok, Dealer called me and said production of the six potter ends next February and if I want one I need to sign the contract and pay the deposit tomorrow, and even then it's not guaranteed

                    And our survey said..... we're going for it

                    Done a super configuration, paying homage to the marque's history and the especially the 70's and 80's nine elevens

                    Metalic Silver

                    Red Interior

                    Carrera Alloys

                    Rear windscreen wiper

                    etc

                    looks awesome

                    Milan.
