Byron takes delivery of his new Astra. I wish him all the best with it and hope he looks after it like I have.

The garage looks somewhat empty now :cry:

[Ben (lurk75)]

All good things end!

Just think the money that has free'd up to pay for the rest of the engine on the nova, lmao some consilation!

never mind Ross, just dont ask him in six months how it is incase he stacks it into a lamp post.

[techie]

No money from the sale of the Astra will be spent on the Nova. That is a promise I made to both myself and Tracey.

If I did do that it would all be for nothing.

[Ben (lurk75)]

Good point.

I think out of the 12 i have owned i have only sold 2 cars!

hmm where did the others go?

[ollster]

Its amazing how attached to inamimate objects we get lol, i know what you mean though its always sad to see all your hard work being sold on for someone else to enjoy, I hope he takes care of it. On the upside at least you will be attanding the PV show in the nova :D, so ill get to see it.

[jatinder]

its a shame to see losing stuff that means so much to you. I know just how you feel i had to chuck away my boxer that i had for 9 years as the beast kept poping out :lol:

[Tilly]

Bye Bye :cry:

Sold to a very lucky guy from the Portsmouth area. I will miss it indeed. All being well it should be on the astra-sport stand at PV2003.

At least it's being sold to someone that lives a fair distance away. You won't be worried about seeing it on a daily basis and thinking "Have I dont the right thing"

Jim

[techie]

Oh I know ive done the right thing, still feels a bit weird though.

[BC]

[?Marty?]
