Hi Steve,

Very sad to see this.

I hope it all works out ok for you - no chance of just SORNing for a while?

Best wishes,
Rob.

Sorry Chris but it is true :cry:

And it's worse - sold tonight, being collected on Wednesday :cry: :cry: :cry:

So I have a dilemma, do I go for a nice drive tomorrow and risk an accident or do I just look at it out of the window :?

I'll still keep looking in here and as soon as possible I'll have another Excel.

Finally can I say how very touched I was/am by all your posts in this thread - thank you very, very much.

Steve

Steve, I hope you get another Excel once the work situation is sorted. I think you should have a last drive of this one. After all, you 've taken good care of it so far :D ! Good luck! Chris
