Sorry to see this Paul.
Why have you decide to part company?

Hmm, tough choice I know when you've put so much effort in.
Goes without saying you'll miss it when it's gone, as many others have. Is there no way you can store it until next spring and see how you feel then?

I can never understand this mentality of owning a car, never driving it but being sad about selling it. Its contradictory unless you're a trophy collector.

I know people with classic cars that get driven 3 times a year but they've owned them 20 years+ and dont cry about selling.

End of the day, its a hawkeye on xxr's, its not hard to replace as/when you decide you want another.

Looks stunning! If it helps, I'm sure you'll regret your decision once it sells :P

Are you always such a melodramatic queen?

Or are you just using a clever bit of marketing and hoping your OTT hyperbole will help push up the price?

Just listen to the 'Hard Men' here. I don't suppose for one minute any of you know the OP personally or you wouldn't be posting the 'melodrama' comments.
I do know him and he's not the sort for crocodile tears. Seeing as you obviously don't get it, I'll explain. It's just a tongue in cheek introduction to the prospect of selling a car he has clearly cherished. Ok now?
What would you have him say, 'Bloody hell I'm really happy to be getting rid of this pile of sh!te'

I still feel cut up about selling my last one after seeing it get ruined, hence this one will either get sold to the right person or broken. Whether you drive the car daily or once a month they have a way of getting under your skin and being difficult to part with

Know what you mean, going to be putting my wrx wagon up for sale next week, really thought I'd keep this car as it's my perfect daily, but after 5yrs things have changed its too much car for where I live and I can't be doing with driving it back to the UK for mot every year, also have the type r in the garage in bit's and in two minds about that too.

Shame you got to sell it but if it’s a need must

Something to ponder over though……If you do sell it, and then look for another at some point down the line, have fun trawling through some of the **** out there to find one to replace yours, as its obviously a well looked after car.

This is what I tell myself when I think of selling mine for the same reasons as you. Although I do about 2000 miles a year on average.
