Time to move on. Looks like the new owner of my 6tt will pick it up on the 8th October.
Its been great being on the forum, I've learnt a hell of a lot, people like Andy, Ken, Richard, Stevo and many more good people willing to help and give their time to help resolve problems. I hope I have also been some assistance once I found my feet on the forum.
Unfortunately it is time to move on or in my case back to my primary love Cosworth.
So its a big cheery bye from me and take care all.

Thanks Andy,
LOL, your sort of correct, I am concerned with my dead lung which is displacing my heart and restricting my breathing. So all the planets have aligned to give me the best opportunity to sell the 911 and it gets picked up on the 8th. No doubt I will play with the the Cosworth as well, but I will see what I am capable off over the next year.
btw,you were one of the first to come to my aid when I had my first troubles with the car and Ive not forgotten that. Its thank you for all your help and I hope we can stay in touch some how. I will come on now and again and say hello.

Frank,

Health is more important than anything else mate, so I think you have made the right decision.

We (9E) really appreciate you letting us have your car for so long - it has been great and at least you achieved your goal of 200gps at Brunters. The car as you know is going to someone who has been after it for sometime, and I don't think he can wait now.

Will keep in contact.

Ken

Sure will Ken, unfortunately for you its not the last time you will hear from mebiggrin
I have got to loose some serious weight to relieve some pressure off my dead lung which might take 12 months or so. If I can withstand the forces of a powerful car I do have some ideas about my new Cosworth when I get it. I'm hoping to do another Brunters with you whenever you might send out invites??? So please dont rub my name off your list.;)
Speak to you soon.

I find it quite strange that many Porsche enthusiasts love old Fords too!

And that includes me!
