Today represents a milestone which we never thought we would see back in Nov 2016. It is 5 years to the day since I was diagnosed with incurable stage 4 lung cancer and 3 years, almost to the day

Got the people here today and the time to get under the car and finally tighten up all the bolts with the bushes on them to set the ride height of the car and then it will be back on the road. Then a wheel alignment, a couple of months (hopefully) to drive it and enjoy it after all this work and then the market.

And that will more than likely be my Lotus ownership over, but it has been a great time. :)

Have to since my stroke. The car is way too fast for my eyes to register what is going on. I drive like a nanny now. :hrhr:

And the bolts are done. :happydance: Some are rather awkward to get to aren't they? Well, they are when you are schmoozing around on your back on the concrete.

So now it's a wheel alignment on Saturday, drives, paint guy to fix up some rather nasty stone chips, key guy to cut a spare as I don't have one (I am pretty sure it is a Silca Italy YM27P Plastic Head Key Blank. I found that info on www.espritfactfile.com as no one answered my query on here.) and then the market.

Sold the Fiat 500 to We Only Stitch you Up a Bit today for a ridiculously good price, I mean as much as I wanted privately. Only thing was forgot the spare key. No worries will bring that and the car back tomorrow. 

Well for 7 f&#king years that key has sat in the same pot, is it there now of course not. We have pulled the house apart still can’t find it! I use it to move the car about on the drive and used about a week ago. New cat is looking suspicious, I think he won’t look me in the eye.

Well get this, bought a dodgy key off eBay for £8.99 had an offer for £4,875 so thought I will go down there and accept 4.5k as it just needs to go. 

So turn up with the Fiat 500 at We Buy Any Car go through the paperwork, got away with the dodgy key then he offered me £5,100.01 I nearly ripped his arm off I wanted 5k Private put it up for 5.5k a Month ago and had exactly no calls. Have to say a completely painless experience and the cash is in the bank. I have heard loads of stories about them but have to say I would definitely give them a go again

They are part of Mannheim - so it’s a reflection of their auction prices. Many cars get booted through the ring - others get straight retailed at one of their outlets.

The small print.

My comments and observations are my own, invariably "tongue in cheek", and definitely, sarcastic in nature. Therefore, do not take my advice, suggestions, observations or posts seriously or personally and remember if you do, do anything, that I may have suggested, then you have done this based solely on your own decision to do so and therefore you acknowledge responsibility and accountability (I know, in this modern world these are the hardest things for you to accept) for your actions and indemnify me of any influence, responsibility, accountability, or liability, in what you have done. In other words, you did it, so suffer the consequences on your own!
