Goodbye, and thanks...


Recommended Posts

Only the oldies will remember me but just for completeness I am signing out of the forum as I am selling the old girl (nearly 9 years old and owned from new) tomorrow after 75,000 miles of absolutely pleasurable motoring. She has only failed me once when I left the keys outside at -6 degrees for 2 hours so not really her fault. The only standard things left are the seats and steering and she will be up on pistonheads shortly I suspect. I attach the spec sheet for interest - Mods this is not an advert as it won't be up for a while - and I will shed a tear when she goes as she is by far and away the best car I have ever owned.

I wish the club continued success.
