Sold the Lambo the other week. Not long after taking a number of you good people for a blast. So it's finally farewell then. Blips, sorry couldn't make The Ring with you, but considering what happened this week, it is just as well I didn't! 700 miles after I sold the car, the clutch went!!!eek Which would have put me about mid France I guess.

Had a call from the new owner. The car went to Lambo Manchester and they are trying to figure how the clutch went in just 3,000 miles!!!! (it had a new one in Feb). Obviously, nowt to do with me. Neither was I to blame for the door handle coming off in the new owners hands either. Odd that one.

Anyway, time to rest and think of what to get next. Once business picks back up.

Thanks for the memories, Ray. Quite simply the most awesome vehicle I have ever had the pleasure of being driven in. bow It's gonna be hard to replace with something quite like it, really. Any ideas yet?

Funny about the clutch, isn't it...

No, Greg who came to rescue Oggs one time is picking it up very soon and will be doing the work. He's fantastic at repairs so I would not have a prob with it. He's taking it on to make a profit. Might get a good deal on it. Thanks for the pics by the way. God she's sexy.

I have a rather fetching Hyundai ACCENT you can passenger in. It doesn't quite hold the road like the lambo, and I can get you to a grand old speed of 70 mph in 3 and half minutes. It's red. Velly nice carr. You can even lick the windows when I go round corners!
