Feel like I have lost a part of me!!!
If I could have worked on the car myself or I lived next to Martin then I NEVER sold the car but I don't....
I'm going to miss him like CRAZY but it had to happen right now I am afraid...
Feel AWFUL that I am upsetting Martin and Maria so much but it just had to be done and yes you could NEVER build a car like that for Ł25k... but you can't normally sell them either!
so it was a good deal for me and an even better deal for the buyer!!!
The bloke who bought it is a lovely old retired fella who obviously has a few quid! and he will be out in the car at Snetterton. Sadly he is going to become a total trackcar now and won't be out of the roads any more...
As I said I am gutted but I have some INCREDIBLE memories of that car and I met some of my greatest and best friends through him and through the Cossie scene.... me and Martin hardly knew each other before he built him for me... and I think everyone knows how close we are now.... and don't forget... I also met the girl I love through the Cossie scene!
So I hope he makes his new owner as happy as he made me!!!! I only have to think of that old Sierra and it just makes me smile!![Big Grin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Best car I'll EVER own. It had more Character and different moods than Martin and thats saying something!
I'll post some of my fav memories and photos from over the years... one sec whilst I stop crying!!!!

Great write up that Lee and amazing to think that some of the special cars you've owned, driven and it's the cossie that sticks out just says SO much for the car and the build quality...![Clap](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/9c-clap.gif)

There i go again.......... babe you have done the right thing..... and you dont have to justify it to anyone.
When you think of you, you think of the sierra, when you think of the sierra, you think of you. Tis just gonna be very weird thats all.
And i swear to god, if i find out that old man has mistreated patrick, i kneecap him!

shame to see it go but at the end of the day its only a lump of metal. it wont change anything. you can still do the things you want to do with the people you want to do them with
hell, how many people on this ford still own sierras anyway

er because he has put 10 years worth of blood sweat and tears into it?
Martin has worked his BOLLOCKS off on that car. and NOT for the money!
He always WELL undercharged me with that car for the HOURS AND HOURS he put in...
He would make more money doing routine jobs on boring other cars!
Me and him have been tearing around the race tracks for the last 9 odd years together in the two cars!!!
You can't even IMAGINE the fun we have had...
and its over...![Sad](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
but I have some memories that will never go away. and rather than sulk I am smiling that I was lucky enough to have had them! lots of people never get to experience what we did together!
Patrick ROCKED!
Thanks Martoon![god](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/dieu.gif)
Thanks to all the other people involved over the years as well!

You should have sold the Porsche instead
. It's not my car and I'M sad
.
However, the main reason I am sad, is that all the above photos will no longer contunue and that is such a HUGE part of the Ford scene (bigger than Lee et al realise). Patrick (OMG I can't believe I'm calling it by it's name
) has just left a Sierra sized hole in any forth-coming Ford event
.
It will take a VERY special car to fill his space, which from Maria's posts isn't going to happen any time soon
. I feel like wearing a black arm-band
.
