Goodbye old friend...
« on: 06 November 2013, 19:49:25 »
My old faithful 2.2 CD Auto took its final journey today... to a breakers yard to become an organ donor  :'(

You were a fantastic car... thirsty, long, heavy, expensive... but I loved you!

RIP

Body work was almost flawless, mate.

She had major mechanical issues.

Yeah, I suppose.

She was classed as a "mechanical write-off"! Needed far too much work and money to go on living.

I'm thinking of an Insignia to replace her... using my Forces discount at Vauxhall.

Haha!

Mechanical issues aside, LOTS of things started to go wrong. Just a string a minor issues to add to her misery.

It was a tough decision and it took me weeks to finally admit her life was over.

Not something I'm capable of.

I did make sure she became on organ donor instead of a large cube.

My 3.2 breaker also went to the graveyard today. Not much left on there for them to take off and sell. straight into the crusher I would imagine.
