No part outs, no tyre kickers, no trades, no swaps ... complete car only. Need this sold by next week or going to trade-in/wreckers, split up for ebay, whatever.

Wish it were that simple. Most guys want a showroom bike, jump on and ride off. What they don't realise is by the time you've spent (say) $16K on a sportsbike, throw on crash protection and aftermarket exhaust and Ohlins shock, you're near $20K ... well over the $17K for an Italian bike with all the trick bits and CF. I'll throw a few flyers around Lobe and Strath.

Need Stagea gone. One more week then its gone ... no matter what. Trade-in, wreckers, whatever ... I don't want it. Want it sold. No trades, no swaps, no tyre kickers, no dreamers!

Who gave you that tip?

Yeah, nobody is buying anything. I've had my toys up for a while now. Considering your isn't registered, engineered, finished, or even with a suitable finish, you won't get much. Tell me about it. Had some the sphincter of the universe reckon he could get a stag like mine for under $10K ... good luck with that dreamer!

Then catch the bus. Yeah ... we want PIE!!!!!

I'm just sticking to a plan. I've owned the bike 12 months and I allowed myself 12 months of ownership, then I'd sell it. Its never been a keeper, rather an Italian bike I wanted to say I owned at least once. My TL1000R v-twin sportsbike is getting some work done and will be back on the road soon. I've had the TLR for 8 years and its my fav and a keeper. Comparing the Brutale with the TLR, is like comparing an Italian soccer player to a Grid Iron player. Having said that, I am thinking about registering the Brutale a bit longer, as the TLR is taking some time to get the work done. Oh, and 'yes' the Brutale is far more expensive with on-road costs and servicing.

Good luck with it dude ... you're going to get the morons anyway. I did, and still do. You'll get the vultures too who will ask you to remove parts to get it cheaper.

In our meeting with Neil, this topic was raised by Neil himself. He understands we buy cars and initially are not aware of mods done. Neil also understands that some car yards do blatantly lie to buyers/browsers. They are completely aware of this.

More from Coupling: Patrick: It was just so embarrassing. I didn't know what to do. Steve: Happens to us all mate. Jeff: All of us, in our time, are visited by the melty man. Patrick: The what? Jeff: Don't say his name, Patrick. Don't even think his name or he will rise from the shadow dimensions to do his evil work on your terrified pants. Patrick: [chuckle] Terrified pants? Steve: [gravely] There's nothing funny about the melty man, Patrick. Patrick: [face falls] You know about the melty man, too? Steve: [in a "duh!" voice] We all know the melty man. Patrick: Who is he? Steve: The archenemy of trouser confidence. Jeff: Professor Moriarty. In groin form. Steve: Darth Vader Jeff: Without the helmet. Patrick: [terrified and shocked] What does he do? Jeff: Patrick, you *know* what he does. Patrick: [looks down] Oh right. Jeff: You're in bed with a woman. Everything's going fine. That's when the melty man strikes. Steve: Suddenly you find yourself thinking, "Maybe she's really bored". Jeff: Maybe you're licking her neck too much. Are you over-wetting her neck? Steve: Are you spending an equal amount of time on each breast? I mean, what if one breast gets ahead? Jeff: Should you be switching between them really quickly or should you squish 'em both together and do them at once [demonstrates] Patrick: [frowns] Steve: Or should you skip one breast completely just to save time? Jeff: She's wriggling about. Is that a good sign or is she just trying to dry her neck? **************** Jane: I'm being stalked, actually, so I'm pretty secure in my attractiveness. Susan: You're being stalked? Jane: Is that so hard to believe? Sally: My god! Jane: Everyday on my way home from work, a man follows me. It's true. Susan: Well, have you been to the police? Jane: They said I was being silly and paranoid. I heard them laughing after I left. Sally: That's terrible! Susan: Well, have you confronted the man who follows you? Jane: Well, there's no point, is there? It's never the same man twice. Sometimes they switch over when I'm halfway home. It's so well organized!

Anyone else ever catch the BBC comedy series "Coupling"? I loved the first 3 series with the original "Jeffery" "My mother use to make sculptures of erections when I was young. Kept them all over the house. Some came out wrong and they ended up in a box under my bed. You don't wanna know about my nightmares!"

Def suss. Checked out their (lame) website ... which is conveniently linked to the Trading Post. They have another R34 there with more kms at a higher price? Their pricing is all over the place.

I'd steer away from them then. Sounds dodgy as. Reckon they've turned back the odometer?

I did tell the guy when he first pulled up "uh oh, now you've done it. Here come the Skylines Australia club members! Get out while you can" ... yes .... she was talking about the car ... nothing went on in the back of the Stagea ... nothing!

Didn't you hear she wants to get blown?

Of course not! I've got bikes and a Stagea too ya know Its f**king awesome!!!!!

Spotted Kellie's 33 this morning in my front yard ... with a slightly flat rear tyre. Spotted her car yesterday going a bit sideways ... but she wasn't driving it. Wonder if that has anything to do with the flat?

I have a KKR 500hp turbo sitting in my shed still in box. Bought it, then lost interest in fitting it

And shows too: And a bit of drag racing and hoon stuff: This bike has been everywhere and done everything! 8 years of reliable service and has never set a foot wrong. This bike is my keeper. I've owned 10 bikes in the time I've had this thing, but I've always kept her. I'm currently doing some maintenance to the electrical side of things and she'll be back on the road in a few weeks I haven't ridden her since I broke my shoulder Feb 2008. Next year I'm planning a forged internal upgrade and some extra work for 135rwhp.

Still for sale. Sold here or it goes as a trade-in. Time is running out.

I ran this idea past some people months ago, but there was no interest in it. An interesting find tho.

Love half the comment here I love em all: R35, R8, Elenor ... 1600s and even Eskies! They're all excellent cars to drive in their own little way. I think too many people are fishing for dislikes than likes. This R35 was hot! imo

HTFU boys We'll share the photos with you

Suck on it, suckers! Oh, the R35 is sooooooo sexy in the flesh. I think we all jizzed in our pants.
