Default Sold my RS1600i yesterday

Shes gone back down south, new owner collected her yesterday. Just fitted a new quicksilver OE replica SS exhaust too. Loved restoring the car but as of all the work i did i found it too nice to use as it was my hard work, so hopefully new owner will enjoy it more

i'm sure it will be at the shows for years to come Lee.

sad time but if its too good for your use then its just a garage ornament.

hopefully the next car you get you can use it a bit more.

excellent job you done on that car Lee.

Dave i know what youre saying over the bike, as you know ive been there before and i sold the others through lack of use. But i have the bug back so going to buy one. Theo nly thing that has put me off is the fact i know it wont get used much, but diferent to the car it doesnt take up up garage space, so if it sits there not getting used it doesnt matter, at least its there if i fancy a ride out - rather than it being a pile of money sat in the bank!
