So So Sad.........

[MNP]

Well I took advantage of the black Friday deal on gold membership because.....I am going to have to sell my two girls Bess (BMW R1150RS motorbike) and Betsy, my LS.

The bike will go soon and the car in Spring or as late as I can leave it. The reason?

I'm a Physics/Science teacher and at the age of 56 have the chance to teach for a year or

two abroad in a remote location. Despite the trip to the potteries yesterday, wafting my wife

to the seconds shop at Emma Bridgwater, she hates driving the Lexus. Up to two years laid

up on the drive will do her (the LS!) no good.
It took me ages to find a good one, it will take me ages to find another when I get back, or maybe

I could put a buy back clause in the sale?

.............you could lend it to me as a freebie and I will use it every day for you ............

Very exciting challenge Mark. I wish I had had the courage to take the plunge and gone abroad, though circumstances would not have allowed me to take the plunge anyway. Are you going with an organisation such as VSO or is it private?

Good luck with the move. Will look out for your LS 400 advert!

Thanks Malc, I did think about my mate in Northampton looking after her for me, he did offer, but it's a tall

order in case something expensive happens. I am a bit ocd and possessive and in a way I prefer my wife to drive

the Land Crusher whilst I'm away!!!

Cheers David, it was am advert in the TES and paid, not as much as I get now but it was never about the money.

I haven't had the contract yet so I won't go into too much detail, I just need to get it out of my system!!!

There is a price for everything and I will miss my wife and kids, two of which will have gone through 6th form by

the time I get back.

......... good luck with it all ......... we all have our mid ??? life crises ( mines been 24/7 since I was about 18 tbh ) ....... and you will always look back and say WOW, thank heavens I did it ..... but why oh why did I sell the Lexus when someone was there to look after it for me !! ................. hehehehehe

Good luck

Obviously everyone makes their own decisions and who am I to tell you anything different, and I am very hesitant to say this, but..... I honestly think you must be mad to do this :(

Good luck with th new job! I'm up the road in Sandbach and might be interested in the car if you definitely decide to sell. Thanks.

[MNP]

Thanks for all the comments, sorry for delay, very busy at school and the kids are hyper now we have entered advent!!! Sorry...I meant more hyper...........

Yes Chris, I think so too at times but my wife is very understanding and I wouldn't want the resentment that would follow by stopping her if the situation were reversed!!

Thanks Jonathan, I will consider your kind offer when I come to sell her, I want her to go to a good home.

Best wishes, Mark.
