The last journey....

[Julesprivate]

Tomorrow I'm going to be delivering my S to the chap that bought it from me on eBay last week, it's only a short trip to Swindon (~35 miles) but it will be nice to have one last run in the car.

Have to say I am really sad to see the S go, it has been almost faultlessly reliable, cheap to run and great fun. If it weren't for the prospect of redundency looming I'd have happily kept it and run it alongside the Chimaera.

I'm going to be putting one of my bikes on eBay this weekend too, I figure I ought to get a cash buffer in place for when my company finally let me go (it's a "when" not an "if"). I was supposed to finish on 15th June but they've given me a new assignment that takes me through to August now.

TBH I didn't think I'd feel quite so sad at letting the S go, since I bought the Chim in October it's only really been used a few times, but I really did like looking at them parked together on the drive.

I hope the new owner (Bob) joins in here, I'll certainly recommend he does.

Sorry to hear your news Jules. I got stuffed last October so I know how it is. Hopefully you’ll be able to hang onto the Chim. Presumably you had to let the ‘S’ go because it is more desirable than the “hair drier”?

Sorry to hear this - that last journey will be tough !

I think my other half knows she'll be on ebay before the S is.

Didn't work for me!

Thanks guys, I knew you'd understand.

Bob used to have an S but had to sell it for the same reasons I am, so I am hopeful it's going to a good home.

I'll give it a last polish in the morning and then head off with the roof down (hopefully)...

When I sold a car I had owned and loved for years, I couldn't face a "last" run out. Good on you for delivering.

if you get a bit lost it could take all day to get there
