Felt a tad sad when you saw it again? Kind of.. "Missed her"?

How bizzare....

 

yes...

just sold mine last week, bloke came back to pick up a couple of bits he left behind, and I wanted it back..

but sometimes gotta think of the bigger picture.

onwards and upwards

 

always hurts when you put alot of time and effort into a car , to see someone else driving it...

i remember when i sold my first cossie ,seeing the guy drive off and hearing it dumping as i went into the distance was the worst feeling ever..... the money was nothing compared to the love i had for that car ,but i had to sell it to start my own business......

 

Stu,

Its only the guilt kicking in for buying "another" car.


I know what you mean though....

 

When I sold my 1st Cossie it went away for £100 on the back of a trailer..... as a bare shell and tbh I was glad to see the back of the fookin money pit...

 

See my sig...........


I miss the old days

 

Very car,the ultimate Saff IMO.

 

Yeah I walked past mine the other day, the missus said I just kept staring at it

 

Stu, i keep having waves of gutted ness coming over me that i sold my Saff But then i remember why i done it to save some £ and tbh i havent got time for a car like that atm as she toke a lot to keep 100%

 

i was gutted years ago about a pukka 3litre a capri i sold with all the bits from the 280 on.....lsd,RS 7's,leather etc. Saw it for sale a year or so later and thought id go and buy it back for a second car and when i viewed it i nearly cried. The guy had abused it from day one and it looked like a total piece of shit. Dents,scuffs,ripped leather,kerbed wheels etc.

Cant believe how some ppl have no respect for their cars

 

my old cabbie

 

yes definately I wish I could still own most of my old cars, its even worse when you sell them and then they get crashed like 2 of mine

 

See, thats just why I cant/wont sell mine

First car too so it means that bit extra, I know in YEARS to come if I sold it i'd regret it just like all these older guys that have sold their mk2 RS 2000's etc and regret it


Stunning car stu, I can see why you'd be sad!

 

Looks mint in those pics

Never realised the wheels were white Stu sure they were brake dust colour when you owned it.......................

 

All it needs is a certain set of Imolas i have in my garage and hey presto Graceland's car lives again

 

Amazing car, looks cool. To me it's the equiv of my S2. Very fast, looks amazing (better than any BM imo - purely for rarity value) reliable and cheap to run.

If i was in market, would have ripped it off your hands. In 3 years, will prob be worth more than the BM :O

 

Im glad all my cars have been sold to people that dont live close, dont think Id want to see someone else in it!
When my cossie went I hid in the kitchen, couldnt face seeing someone else drive it away

 

i felt the same with the s1

 

Saw my old Rover 800 Vitesse Sport last weekend looking nice and shiney.

kinda miss that car as it was a funny old bus..

never seen any of my others..

 

i miss my first car but thats been written off now, well years ago now, dunno how many people had it after me but still loved it, and my second xr2 i sold to a mate, he crashed that so dont see any of my old cars cos i still got my 3rd one.

well ive had a few since but they were run abouts or strippers/fixer uppers, nothing special like my rs.

wes, you must remember my first xr2, loved it

 

when i was 18 i had a r5 turbo i got it in a mag advertising santa pod i loved it with all my heart and about a year after selling it i saw it parked upand i got the same feeling you described.

 

When I sold my cosworth, I was gutted watching it go down the road.

Then I saw the stripped shell for sale on Drainbay and was even more gutted...... Still had the tinted plates on too, however learning that the black saph on track at national day had my engine is was noce considering it was one of the quickest cars on the day...

 

I have had my XR2i 16v now for 5 years.

May be replacing it shortly, but the only place the 2i is going (and not because it needs to go there) is the scrap yard. Rather that, than see the next owner abuse and wreck it like the last one I sold, which still haunts me to this day......

 

I was GUTTED when i watched my 3DR disappear down the M40 heading for Ireland

 

Nope never had that feeling! Once its sold its forgotten. Its a lump of metal at the end of the day and not worth shedding any tears over

 

ive never felt so sad in my life when my dad sold our last cossie heading to SPAIN!! and the stupid spanish big nosed nobber (not all spanish just him) wont send me any pictures of what he's doing to it

sold 28th november 2004 (see i was so upset its stuck in my mind) or i just remember its the day after bruce lee's birthday

 

is an ex just a lump of carbon?

 

mydads like that, got this mg 1100 which he done up etc etc and his still got it now, not been driven for at least 15 years, well 5 star was still about last time it saw the road and he would rather cut it up and scrap it than sell it, and theres nothiong wrong with it, well, its not rusty i know that much

 

ditto what spadge said! i dont get sentimental about cars anymore...i used to...do my best to keep them off road in winter etc..but now i dont really care, enjoy them while i own them and once they are gone thats it all fords i own leave me in bodybags (citylink bags)

 

Cars are like a common whore, you use them, then fuck em off

 

she went to a good home stu...

shes loved 110% ..

when shes polished up will do some proper pics..

the camera wasnt mine..and the flash worked ..on a few pictures...

next week will bufty her up for you ..post some better pics ..

she looks a lot better than in the photos

 

Had our old XR2i written off a few years back. We thought it would be scrapped and that would be it. Steve_B PM'd me as it had been repaired and was on E-Bay. Shame the seller wan't honest about the damage to it. Local lad purchased it and ruined it and it dissappeared.

Low and behold the other night I was with the missus and what came the opposite way? Our old Fiesta looking really nice and tidy. Was a bit gutted to be honest as that car was superb fun

 

not sold anything and regretted it yet, once i come to sell the XR3i once its turbo'd i'll be truly gutted gonna be a lot of hard work going into it, will make way for a cossie though

 

Never really been a problem for me.

Most of my vehicles end up dead when I've finished with them

 

The car we most regretted selling was our old saff J** OKK but i know its been well looked after so that helps alot.

I know when my fiesta goes next yr im gonna be gutted, but its a must so it has to be done!

 

such a nice motor stu

i'd be kicking me self now if i'd have sold it! idiot

 

I had a restored XR4i, bills for about £4k. All new Ford parts.

Almost cried when i sold it

I see it a few months later looking very sad and unloved and a bit later a mate see it after it had been rolled

It was the only car i should of kept

Steve.

 

i know how u feel mate i miss mine u just cant beat the thrill of a cossie

 

look above at lammylamas sig miss that car so much was re reading my features the other day wish i hadnt sold her and yet the current car is going along the lines of the moonstone one yet again

gotta dmit it always looks immaculate each time ive seen it but generally its was being driven dideways as it should be

 

couldn't imagine selling my S2

Its my first RS and im gonna keep it for years.

Last owner had it for 9 years, and i send him emails with pictures of it etc every now and again.
