What have you done to your vehicle today?

GLWS of gran prix but not finishing the firebird shame on you lol

Thanks mate
Yeah, I know . Too many other hobbies lol.

I've put the Grand Prix on eBay
I would like to keep it, but could do with the money and space. Also, having a car to use for shows has made me not bother finishing the Firebird.

The Grand Prix didn't sell.
I can understand that it isn't a particularly interesting Yank, but there were 18 people watching at the end and nobody bid. Strange
I may try listing it again for slightly less, but there is no point in mugging it away for nothing, I would rather tax/insure it again and just carry on using it until the Firebird is done.

Something like that would make a good and unusual daily driver for someone. Make a change from seeing endless Audis, BMWs and the omnipresent Fiat 500. Don’t see enough practical American cars being used as daily drivers, other than Jeeps and increasingly eco boost Muzzers!

Thanks for your comment. Yeah, exactly! I would have thought it was more interesting than many other things on the road. Quite a few people do a double take when they see it. It's s good first Yank for someone wanting to get into the scene too. I only put it in for £1200, so I was surprised at no bites or even any questions.
As it is actually a Grand Prix, I had considered getting it vinyl wrapped as a Pontiac NASCAR tribute. Although, that's probably going to cost upwards of £1500!

if I was in the market for a new daily or another Yank I would definitely be interested, but I’m having difficulty with the fleet I’ve already got! Surely the Renegades stickers should make it a desirable collectors item in its own right. Certainly a NASCAR replica would add a bit of colour and glamour to the A3. I did think about doing something similar with the Camaro, but as you say, £1500 is a significant investment.
