Oh no!
Well, I suppose that means room for something else, right?

Sadly not. Got some bills to pay, a sensible car to buy and a flat to rent.
Being an adult sucks.

gutted for you Chris. I've sold many a car due to having grown up things to spend money on, but it was the crx that really hurt - i loved that car more than anything, so I know how you feel!

I feel for you Chris but I've still got fond memories of the day you came over to my work with Bruce,Jed & Kev for me to MOT the Z and what a laugh we had whilst I tested it & gave it another clean bill of health for the next 12 months of it's life! I'm sure sometime in the future she will be back in your possession & the love will be once again rekindled!! Tim

Dunno why but the title of this makes me think of Terry Jacks: I'm proper doing the sad songs today so you can join in if it helps you. Shame to see it go, maybe it will come back again, who knows what fate has for you?

Man, I'm totaly with you on this one, ive just had to sell a Maxi that we've had in the family for 22 years. Thats 22 years of family holidays, car shows, days out, blood, sweat, and the tears only came at the end. Thankfully she's not gone too far, and is currently being made great again. Bought by a chap my dad new yeeeeears ago. Chance encounter in a very small world meant it went to the right place
