Title: Woe, Woe - I am without.......!!
Post by: Silverman on April 10, 2010, 18:07
Alas, Alack for she is gone,
                    And I am left with Wii F1.................

My beautiful Roadster is sold and we have parted company after nearly 4 years of great fun, displaying, I hope, road presence with dignity and respectful driving.  Also I have very much enjoyed the friendship and acceptance (or tolerance!) I have received from so many of you on this or face to face, despite my years.  Her parting jest was to lure me into a speed trap and my course of remedial training comes up soon.  Thank you then for some amazing humour which I thoroughly enjoy, the Roadster technical and operational knowledge that some of you have in plenty and those interesting debates which crop up from time to time.  May the Club prosper and continue for a good many years yet, providing support and a focal point for Roadster enthusiasts.  Best wishes, Good Luck and Lots of Fun, My Friends.   (S'man. OAP)    s:cry: :cry: s:cry:    s:cry: :cry: s:cry:    s:cry: :cry: s:cry:

I sold her because my arthritis was making it very painful to get in and out, so another proper sports car is out of the question.  Like you, I have a Verso (T Spirit) which offers very easy access, so I'll probably stick with that until the medics have finished.

Thanks Roger and Co.  Yes, please keep in touch.  You are in the latest "Channel 19" which I expect you have seen.  I passed my speed awareness course today - a very interesting package - although I don't recommend you get caught just to try it!!
