Bit of a story to the lude. I bought it in april 2013 after W1ggs had spotted it on ebay and messaged me one Saturday morning whilst at work. That was it. I was on the phone and train ticket bought for Barnsley Yorkshire.
( http://www.ludegeneration.co.uk/profiles...t6812.html )

Time moves on, relationships change and a house move was required. We had 3 days to get the money together for a deposit and rent as we had just found a house near her daughters school. I sold it September 2015.
I had no project and had the itch. Then a work colleague approached me and asked if I wanted to buy his Crx? Parked up in his garage with no mot and only covered 600 miles in 5 years. I said I couldn't afford it. He then offered it for £300 !!!

I bit his arm off. The next few days I looked over it and put it through the the mot and it passed. So I had a Crx for the total sum of £330, it was an animal. 130bhp in a 800kg body. But I didn't feel the same about this car. It was quick but lacked the refinement of modern Hondas. So I decided to sell. The interest was huge. Sold it for £2k making £1670 profit. The day after I sold it, another work colleague came up to me and offered his supra turbo. So I agreed but it had a huge oil leak, but that didn't deter me. I went and had a look at it and agreed a price of £1300!!! Bargain. But not really. The oil leak was a nightmare. I changed the rocker gaskets but it turned out to be the cam seals, but that didn't matter as after only having it for less then a month the guy who bought my lude offered a straight swap. **** right. My lude meant the world to me as the summer before I had spent £2600 on a new engine and install.

So for a £300 Crx I made my money back plus £360 profit and my lude that I sold for £2250. £2610 for £300. Can't believe it still. But sadly 2 days after swapping the supra he blew the head gasket. Oooops
