Seriously thinking about parting with the old girl, not getting to use it with all the working away offshore lark. Please talk me out of it lads.

Worked away all my TVR owning life. For a lot longer stints than you will be doing Jeff and I still have a TVR in the garage. Now cut the whinging or I will come down there and slap you into sense.

Oh dear oh dear. I had this thought last year about mine then I decided to make it my daily car and the thought has never crossed my mind since. I think you are having withdrawal symptoms which can only be cured by driving the nuts off it and remembering why you got it in the first place.

I have had thoughts like this, but if you sell, you will regret it.

Now, when im back in the UK, I open the garage door, sit in it and smell the leather, and look forward to the few occasions I get to drive it.

For various reasons the last two years have been very non Wedging for me including missing a couple of fests that I would have liked to have attended. Last year probably less than 500 miles, 300 probably.

I worry that no use is no good but I know that if I sell it, I will regret it.

Besides, need something to keep the dust off the garage floor.

I have to concur, I hadn't used my wedge for the last few years , but am glad to have kept it and just got it back out for the Monaco trip.

I don't think I could ever sell it and even if times get tough, it can be tucked away until the time is right.

They are rare enough, even rarer to find one that suits you and that your happy with.

Do not get rid under any circumstances, I don't know anyone who has got rid and been happy, ask Wyn :@)

Jeff, your pad isn't far from here, leave the keys, I'd be only too happy to take your car for a gentle pootle over the Castleton road for a glass of water at the Lion Inn... or a mild bimble down the Helmsley TT of an evening whistle

If you don't need to sell for money? And you don't need to sell for space?

Regret would at some point...come knocking on your door. And he is an irritating as*hole. Avoid him! wink

Thats what i like to here me lad [keep her] the cars probably paid for and all it's costing you is tax and insurance which will work out at approx £35 per month for a car like that, get a grip man.
I've seen you driving the beastie all over the country and the smile on your face is biggar than the windscreen that say's it all even if your only out in her 3 or 4 times a year doesnt matter, if you sell her then hire a sports car for a week it'll probably cost you more than the tax n ins put together.
See you at the RNR VI with the car and Kim.
