    Not nice being out of work

    Best of luck, sure things will turn around, and when they do you've got something to look forward too

    I know you just want to drive the car but don't do anything hasty, if you can't afford to finish it just yet then your best off storing it and finishing it at a later date than selling it and then regretting it further down the line. Sometimes life comes before cars unfortunately, I've owned mine for 11 years and I reckon I've only put 4000 miles on it in that time due to other things going on in my life. I do hope things turn for the better soon mate.

    sorry to hear you lost your job chap, hope you get it all sorted.

    as above though, I'd prioritise first with living, mothball the car now before you spend any more on it, that way you should be stable financially and not have to sell up to live over coming months!
