Its about time you got rid of that rusty old nail. I'll do you a favour and give you £50 and a new ice axe for it ;D

Anyway, less of the wee wee extraction, I bet you'll be sorry to see it go :'(

As said I won't be sorry to see it go, costs too much money to keep on the road, company car will save me a bucket full of cash each year :y. However, on the positive side I will only let the car go to an omega enthuthiast :y, otherwise, it may well get laid up somewhere, which is potentially another option ::)

Congrats on the promotion Mike..at least you're good at something!!! Joking aside my garage/workshop is always busy & i'm glad it's not my car to sell as i know what you've put into it. I would'nt bother with ebay as it won't make it's value.
   Sadly i doubt you'll recoup your expenditure so i hope she stays in house & get's loved like you loved her. :'(

However, on the positive side I will only let the car go to an omega enthuthiast :y, otherwise, it may well get laid up somewhere, which is potentially another option ::)

Not Nottingham that is too damp and salty a place. Needs to be somewhere with low humidity. Bring it over here and I will give it a pasting
run out now and then till you get laid off.

Congrats on the promotion Mike great news sad about the Miggy though when you look at all the hard earned and work you have put into it though. Pity it won't work out that you could hold onto it and get an allowance. That said if your company has green policys regarding transport I doubt they would be to chuffed at funding a 190+ H.P. gas guzzling V6 luxobarge. :o

I have had several offer's via pm's over the prospective sale of the Mig, and I have accepted a very good offer, however, the car will reamin with me for another 3 weeks, until going over to the new owner, who has asked I keep their name anonymous for now, until the car is on their drive.

I am happy it is going to an enthusiast, who I know will take as much care of it as I have over the past seven yrs :y.... :'(

As it is the only 2.6 on the forum I would swap mine for I hope you got a good price.

Did anyone get any pictures of the 3 modded 2.6s together at Newent?
