Is selling your first car :(

Iv just sold my mk 1, 1.4 RT Clio, and i hated watching someone else drive her down the road away from me from the last time :(

Iv had my ups and downs with the car, but she never let me down, would always limp home for me, even with a split rad and overheated to fook she got me 20 miles home before cutting out, and the engine still wasnt damaged.

just over 100k on the clock after i got her with 32k in november 2005.

Feel horrible now :(

Im actually upset.

So here is my tribute to the best car i have ever owned, if i ever see you for sale again, im gona buy you, and make you a track car and treat you to a valver engine :clapping:

I dont know what it feels like to sell your first car as someone decide to go into the back of mine and write it off which made me feel sick.

think about it, 110 miles a day, for over a year, adds up alot, 5 days a week, then weekends to liverpool, thats a 300 mile round trip.

i did have old mots to proove it, but its gone now :(

every moment was a joy in the car, with its Renault 19 Leather interior, and self sprayed black plastics in the car

REM's Ad:

Great condition,
VTR interior,
drove by a god.
Bodywork pristine,

How we see the ad:

Doors nearly falling off,
one seat-rally slagged,
minor bumps from other numpties,
*he's just being big headed here*

;)

Will be horrible seeing my sax leave :( I already know the damn feeling.

That's because you were buying a new car from such a lovely man!

I was upset to see my first car go. Red VTR. The first person that came to view it loved it and bought it there and then!

Felt good to have a big wedge of cash in my hand though
