The End Is Nigh...the Old Gal's Got To Go!

[iainkirk]

Hello you lot!

 

I haven't been around for a while as I've been really busy, but...

 

The time has come for the old Gal to move on to pastures new, after being 'mine' for nearly 4 years and 112,000 miles!

 

So, off we went this morning to her place of birth, that place of worship known as Motorpoint, to reduce the long-list down to a short-list and hopefully make a decision and order a new car whilst we were there.

Sorry to hear you're getting rid .......... Aeroplane handbrake? ........ aeroplanes don't have handbrakes ......

I think you're talking about the throttle lever that allows you to power up the optional gas turbine engine that fits in the rear row of seats ............ :wacko: :(
