Chertsey in the Thames
After 13 1/2 years my Scottie has left the drive. I would have liked to say I was sad but the feeling was of releif. I have been dithering what to do with the car for a few years now and to finaly let it go was joyous. My wife has a the garden free from cars at last too.

Luckily it has gone to someone who will be getting back on the road. I had considered it but no longer had the desire to spend what was nessesary to do a proper job. Also having driven my wifes coupe daily to work I realised these cars are getting to old to take the daily commute and in mint condition I would have been loath to drive mine.

So after 3 yrs of deliberation I have made what is the correct decision for me. I'll potter to work and for motorway hauls in my Honda Accord Type S and still have our silver coupe for weekend jaunts.

So it is not goodbye to this amazing forum but we are one coupe down now.

Also will be clearing the garage of years of accumulated spares. Might even be able to fit a car in there soon!

Great you've had the patience to hang on to the Scottie till the right person came along. Win-win therefore with another coop destined to be kept alive.

You'll cherish the one remaining all the more.

I'm glad your Scottie went to a good home and not the breakers.
