Unhappy

It has finally come to it.

I will soon be 60 and have sold my STI7 PPP and replaced with a Forester XT after pressure from the family. Great car but......

Have kept dedicated number plate from my earlier P1 as a continuous reminder

Bah, don't listen to the family, they're just trying to stop you spending their inheritance

Go and buy a 22B and leave 'em pennyless

the first P1 I ever saw, was owned by a pensioner, driving no more than 20 mph tops, as we watched him drive to the post office to collect his pension

and I remember thinking to myself, will I have to wait until im that old to get a P1

No it is a manual and goes really well.

Took it to Scotland and really flew up the M74, but gets a bit thirsty over the ton !!

Am waiting for the PPP to be announced

Why become old before your time?

No need to be so rude and it was 28 mph!

David if you are guided by ther family you will become a miserable melanchonic old git. How long before you consent to purchasing a walk in bath and an electric wheelchair??

Finances permitting, the P1 stays until the nurse has to carry me to it and I need the incontinence pads before the car even moves!
It's inconsiderate old gits like you that give our generation a bad name


First mod should be a hose that reaches from the exhaust to the drivers door
