Goodbye (again) :(

[danlock92]

So,

As some of you know I recently downsized from a DS4 to a DS 3 Dark Light. Unfortunately I'm not getting along with the car at all, I won't go into too much detail but the drive is just a bit naff compared to previous DS3's.

As I've only had the Dark Light for two months there's an unhealthy amount of negative equity which pointed me towards the 0% interest offerings.

With minimal deposit I've managed to order a Seat Leon FR 1.4 EcoTSI for only a little bit more a month but on a 42 month term as opposed to the 48 months on my Dark Light.

It's been a great few years owning these awesome little cars. I'm really hoping Joni will still let me come to Wings & Wheels in August!

I'll still be an active paying member on the forum as there's still a lot to be learnt

Peace,
Dan

Sorry to hear you're not getting on with it. Make sure you post some pics of the new car when it arrives

Really sorry to hear that about your DS3, could you get an eHDI instead,they are awesome and can benefit greatly from a remap! Hear you loud and clear about plummeting residual values!

Wanted to check out the Puretec and see how it compared with the diesel!

Even on a used DS3 there would be interest, something with 0% or a £500 banger seemed to be my only options!

After sitting in a few other makes it made me realise that the pedals in both auto and manual DS3's are quite far over to the right, could be what's contributed to my lower back pains.

Aha well I've still got it for another two weeks!

And yes there will definitely be pictures!

Sorry to hear this, good luck with the Seat

As for Wings & Wheels I'm sure Joni will still allow it, hell, in the past we've even allowed MX-5's and Astra's onto the club pitch

[pmk]

BMW's too apparently this year too lol

Actually I think W&W is a strictly DS3 stand...

[lfcrule1972]

Oh is it ? Sorry I missed that........ Are we allowing misfit cars at Trax or the FCS ?

I could buy a gazebo and have a DS3 printed on the side?

Not at W&W, it's a different type of show. There's public parking available for other still and you'd be more than welcome to join us for the day

Sorry to hear things didn't work out with DS, Dan.

That'd be great, I'll bring a chair!

Yeah having owned several over the last few years it does make me a little sad to be saying goodbye!

[WTF]

I'm still not talking to you Dan

We allow friends of the site on the stands at FCS and Trax yep - as we have for the last 4 years or so. But as always they will be to one side so that we can park DS3Club together.

I'm still traumatised we allowed an Astra estate onto the stand at Trax....

[danlock92]

Picked her up yesterday, the 100 mile drive home was incredible!!

Had a nice surprise when I got there as they'd managed to knock nearly £40 off the monthly price so I'm now paying less than I was for my Dark Light!

I'll take some more pictures this weekend

Seeing Euan was awesome though right?
