End of an era

Most of you that know me will know I have owned a Peugeot 106 (either my quiksilver or my current GTi) for nearly 9 years now! I also run the Peugeot 106 Owners Club.

Recently I’ve not been feeling the passion for it all that I used to (it’s tricky to stay in love with anything for 9 years!) so I’ve sold my car!

I’ve been working most of the winter in -6c stripping it down and putting it back to standard. All the modified parts have been sold and the car is being picked up on Monday night and driven away.

Mixed emotions about it all – I’m excited about having something different, but I’m definatly going to miss 106 ownership – such a fun mix of speed and handling I’ll probably not feel again :(

On a completely different topic though I started a Project 52 today on my flickr. I’m taking a photo every week during 2010 – aiming to try to make them all sort of sum up my feelings about each week.
This is my first photo – you can see the rest over on my flickr

    LOL sorry about that mate

    I haven’t learnt my lesson – sticking to french hatchbacks

    Going for a Clio 172 Cup next – unless an impreza turbo twists my arm before then :)
