Under extreme pressure from the girlfriend I was forced to put my S up for sale with the agreement that if it did not make 6K i could keep it with no arguements.
It only made £1550 on ebay so now I get to keep it and absolutely no moaning from the missus for a year. It cost me £20 but money well spent I think.

My wife made me get rid of my S, she insisted I got a Griff instead.

That would be mine. I've got two people coming to view this weekend.
The bidding on ebay got over to £4000, but the questions you get from people wanting to swap their one wheeled caravan + £10 are hilarious. At least half the emails were from scammers!!
I've really enjoyed owning the car but two young kids & work etc etc are turning it into an ornament.Would definately buy another when they are older......hmmm, how old do they have to be to eject them?
Thanks to everbody on here for your help when needed (I met a few of you at The Rutland Rumble & last years S Club Heaven).

I'll be back byebye

yes

I did mention to Madame that I might sell the S as I'm currently looking at a Lotus . I got one of those 'over my dead body' sort of looks and 'its part of the family' comments.

Guess I shall have to have both now smokin

hehe Good man.. Going well I hope.. Must try to catch you sometime soon..

Currently wondering if the 145 will make it through its MOT and considering a replacement. A 944 S2 looks like a strong contender, (4 seats and a boot, so that makes it a sensible runaround I think..)

Had the same from my wife, and she was behind the change to the Cerb.

Ironically she was also the first to say it wasn't like a "proper" TVR and here I am bakc with a V8S
