I was just about to start looking at some naughty websites, but I don't need to any more.
Was looking at these on autotrader earlier actually and £40k seems to very easily get you a good one. It would definitely make sense to buy an M5 instead of a house right? I mean at least that way when I have kids it's easy to put them in the back...

A TTRS!!!
I love those!
Not a huge fan of the wheels, but never mind those!
Very jealous.
The wheels have grown on me, I wasn't a massive fan of them originally. Not too sure what type of wheel would suit them if I was to change them.
The RS has gone?
Yup, sold to RS Direct a few weeks ago - http://www.rs-direct.co.uk/sales_detail.php?idno=671#.VbVJzvk72IE

It's a lot of fun
If I am ever in your area you are more than welcome to have a ride out.

So both cars are not standard, the FRS was 425+ bhp and the TT is about 410bhp due to an APR stage 1 map.
Off the mark, it is most definitely quicker. Rolling 3rd gear in the dry I think they would be about the same for the moment, I can move up to a stage 2 APR map if I get an intercooler and new downpipe/secondary cat bypass. After that it starts becoming expensive very quickly.
I'm not really a fan of those, I'm not too sure why I just don't think they really suit it.
I've seen a TTRS with something like them on before, I think they were 20's though. They did look good but I would want something different.
It's amazing to see how they have held their value, not too sure how much longer they will stay that high but only time will tell. The car did have a small fortune chucked at it though so far from standard
It's worth a lot more in parts and Ady from RSD has suggested he might start stripping the car if people want the parts (if it doesn't sell as it stands). It would be a shame to see that happen, so Rybo89 go and buy it

Thank you
I'm not going to disclose the price but I will say it was very fair and was what I wanted. He obviously wants to make a little bit of profit, it worked out quite well as with the worry of theft and the number of tyre kickers/joy riders it saved so much time and effort. I spoke to him via phone, told him about the car, was completely honest with him about it, drove there, money was transferred straight away and off I went again. It was so easy and no arguing about price when I got there.
