A real shame but needs must, I wish you all the best and hope you still hang around DDK. Hopefully things may be a bit more rosie in the future and you can again have a toy.

Kind Regards

Truly my heart bleeds for you Peter :cry: .

It would still be good to see you at Hedingham if you can bear to go?

Where has your car gone to, anyone on here?

Hi Peter
I know how you feel, I sold my T a few months ago, what was I thinking.
I now spend all my free time on Pistonheads searching for another one.
I've replaced it with another Alfa (nice place to sit and a pretty car) but it just feels so ordinary, and I love alfas.

All the best

Hi i know it's not a good feeling is it it's beginning to really sink in now
the main reason i sold it is because i can free up some cash and go forward

I have already started to look for a 911 that needs painting i have seen a
few over in Holland that are body wise okay so all the fun will start up again
of getting one back to it's former glory i'll will be making a visit over there next month as am meant to be going to Paris for work for one month lest hope the car i have my eye on isn't going to get sold lol
