Well that's it; she goes tomorrow. New business venture means I need all the capital I can lay my hands on, so one, and possibly both 'raris have to go. Buyer for the 360 Modena came today and picks it up tomorrow. Not asking for (nor do I want) sympathy; in the overall scheme of things this is not hardship but you do grow attached to these things. Now I know how Manu must have felt and it's a bit sh*t actually.

What can I say but thanks! Main reason I posted this was to let everyone know, and it was quite cathartic. But it feels way more bearable now. Building businesses is a lot of fun and having to do stuff like this is one of the occasional downsides. The main thing is to do everything you can to make it a success, and the rest will flow as a consequence.

Ajay was a bit too damn efficient finding me a buyer for the 360 (less than a week for fecks sakes) so I've taken him off the 456's case and advertised it on the FOC website instead; never known anything advertised there find a buyer so should be safe for a bit

There's no way I'm dropping out of PH activities though- far too much fun to be had for that.

In the words of the immortal bard: "He who dares Rodders, he who dares..."

No, didn't get any confirmation of where & when, and now you mention it haven't received anything from Richard for months now. Probably got one of his email glitches again.

PS Already getting queries about the 456- from the FOC website by God! First time I've ever heard, in my life, of this route doing anything.
FFS Ajay find me some low flying pork (does that answer your question Andrew? )

Hi Jay- surprising how quickly you adapt to it really. Had a bit of a twinge when I found the 360 Tubi clip on the Scuderiasystems website but otherwise it's so busy I've not thought about it much.

It's not so bad because I'm keeping the 456 for the moment; my family went ape when I had someone over to have a look at it. The FOC website was not a safe place at all and what I've found out is that I can sell this car pretty easily if/when the time comes.

And there is some pork on the menu, although it'll be more of the 'all day breakfast' variety than 'medallions et beurre blanc'.

Is 'eggs' a new slang word? My missus will be driving it too, so it can't be that hardcore, or LHD unfortunately. We'll have to see what they're like to drive as stock first.

PS Dom- you OK?
