Thanks for the info. I'm sure everyones pleased to hear the reason for the "Goodbye" :D

But............why not just put that in the original goodbye post. I'm sure everyone would have understood.

Hope he's back soon and I'm relieved that he didn't go to beachy head :)
I used to be indecisive..........
but I'm not sure anymore.

I'm pleased to hear that Angus is taking a break - it is well-earned.

Well, if I was right all the time I'd get to be predictable!

Even I've woken up for this one :shock: ! Hats off to you Angus. But don't be a stranger. Without you ( and Dave bouncing off each other :wink: ) the site would be a far less ammusing place for us all to visit. On that note, did any one see mine up for grabs on ebay?

It looks good in the picture!

Just, didn't make the connection.

Sorry to see your selling.

Will you be getting another anytime.

Dougie, how much do you want for it? Any buy-it-now price? Or a price with a fresh MOT and road tax? How come you are selling?

Best wishes with things!

Peter,

Have a look at this thread and tell me.....

Honestly.

Does that Porka look as good as the Lotus.

Just said goodbye to the old girl tonight, and I'm absolutely gutted! Didn't think I'd feel like this, but hey ho :cry: . Still, it looks like she's gone to the right home. Thoroughly nice guy (Lotus nut) who can give her some much needed tlc.

So, Looks like I'll have to start saving towards another then. That'll put the smile back on my face!

Dougie, has the old girl stayed local or gone further afield?

Hope you get something to replace it soon, I was hoping to have a few runs with you and Oz again this year.
