Due to a dramatic change in circumstances I am having to dispose of all my cars. I have just a week to get rid of everything I own. The Maestro and Cambridge were sadly collected by the scrapyard yesterday, and I've stripped a few bits off the Atlantic and that will also be getting weighed in later today.

The others are up for grabs if anyone's interested, along with two garages full of parts. Breaks my heart to do this but needs must Crying or Very sad

I did hesitate before replying, wondering whether this was juvenile japes or not, seems I should have just ignored your posting.

Sorry Rick, I thought it would have been obvious, what with it being April 1st and all. I must have been too convincing! None of the cars are going anywhere Smile

the answer was obvious especially when you wrote about the atlantic!
Ok about the maestro, it would be difficult to shift but the atlantic in so good a condition would never be scrapped for sure!
Apart from the fact that they do fetch a bit too so no sane person would ever scrap that!

1st April is a Pommie thing. I had forgotten about it over the many years I have lived in Aussie and reading this blurb brought it all back to me. Very Happy
