Nice one ~ well done
All I need to do now is find a way of keeping the neighbour's &*^%$! cat from coming over and walking all over it with grubby paws

Sold my Jaguar today after 16 months of ownership. Managed to cover 1300 miles in the time I have had it and spent not a single penny on it apart from Classic insurance, 2 MOTs, 18 months road tax and petrol at just over 25mpg.
The best part was not only did I scratch my Jaguar itch I managed to make a profit. _________________ ROVER

Coincidentally I sold mine too.
I was treating it like a "classic" car, trying to keep it clean all the time etc etc but with it living outside, subject to the attentions of the local wildlife (birds, cats etc) it was taking up loads of time just to keep it looking smart (washing it after every trip in bad weather etc). Plus I didn't want it deteriorating on the driveway, being used only occasionally as it was. The plan had been to keep it long term, hence having the engine work done to avoid future problems.
Three "moderns" was a bit much to keep on top of also, in addition to the real oldies, so it made sense to let it go.
I regret selling it a lot, but with my sensible hat on, it was the right decision It was by far the most enjoyable modern car I've had.
