I guess if she wasn't still at Peter Wayte's with ever increasing bill I'd be happier - hopefully I'll get her back at the weekend and the silly grin will be back

Well, I haven't earnt anything since the end of November...though I have built myself a nice kitchen! I did have to think very carefully about taxing her and keeping her on the road....but she stays...either on the road or off....
I understand your pain though Calvin....good luck with your sale..
I know the feeling. The problem is I need the capital to convert the garage into an office and then fund taking on a new person. I need to grow the business and at the moment I need the money elsewhere.
I'll get a ZTT/75 tourer CDTi, but the 260 will always be in my heart.
My heart bought the 260, although my head told me at the time this day would come, I was just hoping things would work out a bit better and I'd have more money coming in - sadly with the way things are, that hasn't happened.
Again, the curse of being self employed and not having a nice (big) regular income.
Did have #207, now belongs to John :(
One day, I'll be back in the 260s... :)
Sorry to hear the tales of woe guys, I just hope your luck changes for the better, I would be devistated if mine had to go, its more of a passion
than just a car
