McCartney has been a great servant, but laden with intermittent troubles, we finally decided to sell him. The old boy has done well for 45 years in the motoring service and our year's duty with the boy has been called time.
Many memories were had, many breakdowns were had and most importantly, many, many loud records were played out of those big Alpine speakers that shall be coming with me.
We shook up the motoring community at least locally, served as a great impetus for the blog which you're all reading right now and got me properly excited about a motoring icon. It gave people another idea that you can motor around on the cheap, with your own custom style to cars, for cheaper road tax (zero) and insurance!
We turned heads where-ever we went, whether that was the car sounding like a bag of spanners, rolling to a halt in a roundabout or simply for the one day in a blue moon, sounding sweet.
It was good fun. However, there are more bugs to report on and more for me to get behind the wheel and repeat the process all over again. I will also be reporting on it's work over the week off I have had that involves a quick respray and change of interior.
