Morning all,
I guess we've all experienced these days. After almost exactly 5 years of ownership, I waved goodbye to the Marlboro Car a few minutes ago. The new owner is a baker from the Gold Coast. He's promised to take very good care of the Spire and he's invited me to head down to Willowbank when he's next on track.
The positive (if there is one) is that I sold it for more than I paid for it :)
Guess its time for a new Forum name?
Cheers Adrian
not sure what to write mate, I know the feeling but cant seem to put words to it :(
it gave you loads of fun, 5 years - time for a new venture
what's next Arial atom or more imports toys to fill the garage :o

Sad news :( - hope you find a new toy soon ;D
Here's a challenge, OMG :o

Not easy letting a car go, been gutted a few times watching them disappear down the road. :'(
Suggestion for new name, 'The Aussie Dealer' :P

Thanks Bri - its just not easy is it? I know I'd had the car up for sale for a while but you convince yourself its never going to happen.
I love the name - Gaffer, can we make that happen?
Cheers Adrian
Sorry to hear this mate though I'm sure you will have another soon.
How about "Arthur Daley does down under?" :P

Thanks Tony - so many good suggestions. Not sure which to go with now ::)
Cheers Adrian
Adrian,
This is a test of will because if you really miss it you will buy it back in a year so don't go changing your name just yet!
Ian
End of an era then Adrian, at least you made some money and you might even get to drive the car again :)
How about 'Daley Down Under' and a shiny new avatar :D

True enough Ian - just not the same as owning in UK though. Too many sunny and hot days :o

You never know Phil - that would be ideal :D
I like the new name and reckon its time to change. Not sure I can live with the new avatar yet though. That might have to wait a while :)
Cheers Adrian
Haha no worries Adrian.
When you find a name you would like to use, you can do it yourself. Just click your name above your avatar and you will see 'Modify Profile' click that and then 'Account Settings', second choice down is "Name' change that to whatever you would like displayed.
