Just couldn't do it

[AMDBSTony]

Had a few restless months but this is the start of a new chapter.

After 2 years of ownership I had sold my car and had held a deposit but when the pivotal moment occurred I simply could not sell.

I am retiring next week and have realised that i will have more time to spend just driving......sad but thats life

Anyway, a new start so i have a new name and am posting probably the first photos of my car.

This is one quite special car.

Stunning as ever! I imagine the potential buyer was very upset! Words said or was he (or she) understanding?!

I felt like and still feel bad for doing this but i think he understood.

Not one of my finer moments but I just couldn't let go

I feel most upset!!! If I give someone £10 to secure a car I don't expect my money to be returned and the sale declared off.

Good we are planning a run over to Durham to Aston Works between Xmas and New Year if you are up for it. Hoping to have a look round and a spot of lunch.

Might have to tag along as a passenger if there is room?

Put my plate on retention and then when asked insurance company to change their records they said they cannot accommodate. I have had to cancel the insurance and take out a new policy with the new reg number assigned. I have sent papers off to reassign my original plate and now have to wait to get the docs back to go through the whole process again. I don't want to waste money in having plates made for a week or so which means i may be off the road until new year?

I have never had this before when changing number plates

Never mind, its Christmas

Well I own a paupers Cygnet

Looks like we share the same great taste in cars - oh and we are both too tight to buy a Cygnet.

Until you have experienced an IQ I don't think anyone would understand how good they are.

You can park them anywhere, they are so manoeuvrable and best of all you can drive like a wally as thats whats expected

Would swap for a Cygnet if the price was right but until then.......

^ that

its the same car regardless of the plate. If he insures it (on whichever plate) it will be legal to drive.

I dont think thats strictly correct.

My current situation would be the same as if you just put a random registration on your car which is illegal. The first ANPR camera you passed would trigger and that would not be so good.

Not to worry though, all docs submitted and insurance changed so will be back on the road soon.
