Scrap my car and start again with a minter, or carry on?

Banter goes here, and doesn't have to be Lude related

I assume you're talking about the green 4g ending today with the knackered engine, that I am stopping myself buying (more than 2 ludes already in this household :lol: )

I agree with you, that car shouldn't be bought and stripped for the track - it's in lovely condition and is a rare model now (top spec facelift UKDM) so should be kept as a road car.

Any pics of your current lude, so we can see what that's like?

H22A7, U2Q7, 5 stud, high quality coilovers. Other than that, pretty much leave it alone and embrace the mintness!

I am biased towards Preludes...

So my advice is keep both and if you need to get rid of a car, get rid of 1 of the others cars you have.
