Default After 6 long years,,,,,I've sold her:O(

Well Ladies & Gents after 6-7 years I think it would be this year of owning my lil Tubby Turbo on Monday night she went to a new home!!

Was gutted to let the lil lady go, but I just don't use her anymore & since I put MOT & tax etc on her last year I've only used her,,,,,,think about 5 times!!

Took her to Lydden Hill Monday & stuck her up for sale, the drive there is a huge convoy was wicked & she was so nice to drive etc, but she went Monday night to a local couple that don't even live 5 mins from my house,,,lol, but it was good to take her out to a last show & enjoy her Had people calling me yesterday & today though as they want to come & see her, only for me to say,,,,,,,,,,,booooo shes gone,,,,lol!!

Feels really weird though that I don't own her anymore, don't think its sunk in yet, although people have already text me to say they have seen her about, which is just really weird!!

Anyone else felt like that when they've sold a car?? Just feels really weird,,,lol or is it just me being a girl,,,,pmsl

Felt really weird driving off up the road leaving her there,,,,strange!!
Had been a long loving relationship,,,lol reliable too,,,,lmfao!!

Question now is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,will I miss her now shes gone & want to purchase another one??

Lil bro was walking about a track car the other night,,,,,ummmmm Dave my other half has a few cars I can use & play with,,,,Sapphire Cossie, Cossie BMW & the up & coming Van which I think I won't drive as I think its going to scare me so I can still go out & play!!

Thing is I really want to learn how to drift as just so much fun

Awwhhh still sad though that my Tubby has gone

Whatever next!

Looking good in that picture tho Nikki, did you get her sprayed in the end as she looks very clean!

Black bonnet looked good too, as did the stripes!

Shame she's gone now tho

I've had mine 9/10 years this year!!

The only car i wished i had never sold was a fully restored XR4i

Still kick myself to this day for selling it

I must also admit to shedding a tear as it drove off up the road, even the wife regretted me selling it and she hates cars LOL.

Paul,,,,I know seems odd huh me selling her!! So many good memories,,,,lol Many trips to pod & shows Even still got the video clips from years ago of Sarah & I doing Kevin & Perry impressions whilst I was driving there at 6am one Sunday morning,,lmfao Or moving sarah from one house to another with my Turbo & her's,,,,,it was known as RS REMOVALS as we done it about 3 times,,,,,lmfao

Suppose we all have to let them go at one stage ay!! Sarah regrets letting her's go, so wondering if I'll be the same?

Cossie - another man admitting to shedding a tear when selling a car,,,,,,awwhhhh

i had my old si for 11 years and scrapped it end of last year and that was hard. had it from a young age, been through all the good and bad times with me. Its like a family pet, you know when its time to have it put down. Rust and dead engine got the better of it. a new fes has helped my get over it though

I stupidly let my ex talk me into selling my favourite white S2 to a lass two doors away for a house deposit and spent 6 months hearing it and seeing it return. So I bought another one and now have had it 8 years and vowed never to sell it. I have had brand new cars and they come and go, but my S2 has always been the most fun and the best feeling to drive.....I never want to get to my destination and always look for an excuse to keep driving lol )
