Yep!.......

A sad day Adrian..... :( Fully understand the reasons though as this was how I got with my last F and TF, ie you think you've taken it as far as possible and want a new challenge. Interestingly, as you know my first F was wrote off a few weeks ago and the couple who owned her were looking for anothe...

I have full receipts from a reputable dealer showing all the new parts. I am now considering selling the car, is the HGF some...
