Default Selling up :(

I'm gutted to say that i've made the decision to part company with my VERY much loved Impreza and Clio197 but unfortunately the time has come, i'm only going to sell them to fund the purchase of a larger car with towing capability, i've been looking at Audi A6 s-line, Bmw 5 series ect of the oil burner variety... hope i dont regret it toooo much but as i'm only doing about 700miles per anum i cant justify it anymore

You only do 700 miles per annum as you won't use your car if there's a cloud in the northern hemisphere.

I agree if you use the car that little then it's a waste of time and money, but unless your car is porous car you'll find that it's 100% water proof unless you drive it in a river.

Now off to buy your flat cap and driving gloves old timer.

Plus of course we all know you were worried about my car out shining yours.

Forrester STi complete with pipe and slippers

Someone will get a greatly cared for car, and quicker than a Spec C too

In his dreams Merv, never mind there's always the caravan club show and shine for him to look forward to competing in with all the other weekend gypsies.

Sounds like a perfect tow car and a very nice road car in one package.

All the bells and whistles then mate
The motor movers are a nice touch and save a lot of hassle and embarrassing parking manoeuvres

I was about to suggest a tow bar but see you have already looked into it. I was also going to say LPG....................

I am gutted for you though mate but understand the thinking behind it!! There are days when I wonder if its worth keeping mine as I only cover about 4k a year but struggle with the thought of parting with it since I have spent so much money on it, although nothing close to how much you have ploughed in I would have thought. It must have been a really difficult decission

Are you stripping it to try to get some of your hard earned back or just letting it go as it is?

I know of some very nice sites reasonably local if your new to the scene. If you want any info let me know.

The motor mover is a god send, money well spent

Enjoy, may even see you around
