My sad start to the new year.

[prancing]

Hi chaps, Happy new year to thoes who know me. After a traumatic 2004 with my recent illness my beloved 456 GT will have to be sold ending an era of sports car ownership for me,after recovering from paralysis down the left side of my body, I have lost the confidence to drive a 450 bhp car and enjoy it. So it's time for a new home (see my advert if your interested)I am lucky to be alive and greatful to all my friends I have made through owning TVR's and Ferrari's I have had some luck in life, it just feels far away at the moment. Thanks for those memorable 456/360 moments Kevin and to Barry for a ride in his ENZO and to "Rocket" for the convoy(road-race) to LeMans 2003...unforgettable memories

Good luck everyone

regards "Prancing"
Gareth

Could you not put it into storage for now and see if your health continues to improve?

Anyway, all the best Gareth.

Happy New Year Gareth! Sorry to hear about your car. Richard sent a note round just before Christmas saying you were thinking about it. Whoever it is that ends up with your car will be bloody fortunate;it's one of the best in the country. I haven't seen it on the FOC website- are you going to put it on there? There's definitely a resurgence of interest in 456s- I've had several people wanting to buy mine in the last couple of months, and GrayPaul rang me (twice) over Christmas asking me if I wanted to sell.

Haven't forgotten the other thing! Been swamped with work for months and it's always feast or famine, nothing in between. We'll definitely do that though.
