I think I may have narrowly avoided some 'buyers remorse'...

I have been looking into updating from the BA to an FG Turbo, and although
I love the look of the FG, the test drive was great and I came very close
to stitching up a trade/deal, things did not feel quite right over the whole
process. I lost sleep and an uneasy feeling seemed to linger. Seemed to also
hit 'a wall' here and there in dealing with car yards.

Anyway, addictive as it was with the 'gonna buy a new car' buzz, I have
managed to let it go and stick with the BA, which I have loved since day one.
Feel better now !

The AU2 XR6 VCT I once bought. Its hard for me to be disappointed with an AU, but given the other AUs ive driven it was a let down for me. And this thread is about disappointment as opposed to regret, which on the other hand....
