Default just a little hello and story

Right people just a quick hello,

i bought a p1 two years ago just after my father passed away from cancer, as life was to short not to have what you wanted. i loved every minute of the ownership and coming from a uk turbo to a wrx and then the p1 it was bar far the best car i have owned.

i did not deal with my fathers death to good and ended up £25k in debt with a loan for the car and plenty of credit cards, so i took the choice and sold it on last october to pay as much off as possible and start on the rest.

12 months later and from having no life i am a few months away from being clear, so i thought its time to look for a new car, and out of all the things i looked at i could not get anything else then another p1 so off i went on pistonheads and to my shock there was MY p1

could not believe that my old car had come up for sale. so long and short she is now sitting back on my drive where she should of always been. and credit to the chap who bought it from me it has been well looked after, and has only done about 5k in the 12 months.

just thought i would share my little story

Well with all the crappy stories going around at the moment and people losing their lives left right and centre it is absolutely lovely to hear a nice little story like this for a change.

I'm pleased for you and long may it last!

All the best

Rick

Nice story. Sometimes, when you do the right, albeit painful, thing, life rewards you down the line!

All the best for the future!
