This post has been a long time coming.
I shall soon be cancelling my insurance.Chopping in my tax disc and putting the old coupé on axle stands ready to start cannibalising her.
Basically,she was a cat D right off years ago and long before my ownership.Apparently repaired back to standard...time has proven however that this was not the case!That and some power upgrades..
I've always noticed the tracking could never be 100% sorted whenever done.Only since I started tuning her last year did things start becoming problematic,ie, it became evident there was a lot of positive camber on the nearside front.Causing me to go through 4 pairs of new tyres in the last 18 months!!
So.the long and short of it is...I can no longer justify spending on her.Especially as she's bent.The cost of jigging is too much and as I have come to find out,quite often not guaranteed...
Be sad to see my pride and joy go as I've kept her through some really dire financial times and have always managed to pull through.
I don't doubt for a minute I won't be tempted back into ownership further down the line but for now I'm just going to invest my time and money into myself as a business and hope to have a good year.Good enough to make a come back!
Not sure how I'm going to play it but right now it looks like stripping it is going to be the best way to recover my costs, and I'll be a lot happier knowing that no one's driving around in a high powered coupé that's bent and unsafe.
Expect a lot of for sale ads soon!
