Graham1984 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I just saw some pictures of Blackie's old car which a few years ago I was wanting to, but unable to buy. Anyone else got any cars that they wish they had brought, but missed out on and feel they were the one that got away? I liked pretty much everything about this car: colour,kit,price.

ripped_fear Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Few for me Roll back about 4 years a white NA6 came up forsale in Reading way, now only a brief trip up the motorway from my house. At the time I was still on the IOW and hesitated in coming over and it sold. Another one that got away for a white TT6 I was in talks with jurgen about, and was about to put a deposit on and Geo bought it and it turned out to have lots of problems, so that was a blessing in disguise.

Amazing isn't it how it just rolls down to luck at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 The only slight regret I have is not selling up and buying an already made single It would never have been my car though, so it's only a niggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abtin90 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Jamies old black duck for me. I just wasn't in a position to buy at the time. Had it been up for sale now I would most definitely have been going down to shake hands on a deal. But everything does happen for a reason, hopefully a nice stock, well built black single will come up for sale soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I almost bought Blackies car, literally agreed a price and had the cash in my hand ready to give him when a little voice in my head planted seeds of doubt and I walked away. Then months later looking through sold show pics I found one or tow of the same car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 That blue TRD3000GT that Jurgen brought over. Then later, I wanted to buy my single back twice, and on both occasions events conspired against me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum bellend was all me...... however I'm trying to keep an eye on what orange squad are up to. I've never seen Branners on here so much either.... if he's not careful he will give himself backache over-stretching for the esc key due to being out of practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still surprised you didnt buy your old single back, that was another one that tempted me at the time even though it wasn't the colour I was after. However I wouldn't have been able to raise the money at the time. Was a very nice spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I'm really enjoying building my current on though, it's nice to start with a clean blank canvas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamaSupra Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Can't say I ever had one getaway, I saw the TT6 Deep Jewel Green Supra on Jurgen's JM Import page on Facebook. I knew I wanted it and someone else would snap it up before me if I wasn't careful. So I made contact with Jurgen and put a deposit down on it the very next day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that I'll be in a position to build one in a few years, though for the time being I'm keeping an eye out for a nice black single.
