There has been a few problems trying to sort out the disposal and I havent been as pro-active as maybe I should getting rid of the remains of my late -Felicity - following my accident last November

A massive relief to be able to get watch the remains of my last car disappear.
It also gives me another opportunity to reflect and offer my heart-felt thanks to all who have suppported me through a difficult few months.
Special mention for Justin and MrsMopp - without their support I would not be able to cope. It has been emotional!!
Finally a huge weight has been lifted and the car-cass is gone. Thanks to all that help me right from sorting the accident, looking out for me, dismantling (Justin can we have the pics???) - down to her final journey today. The boys from "Scrap It" (Leicester) were very discreet, professional and did stirling work.

Due to the narrow access to Moppy's garage - they used a transit with a spec lift to get the car out (using the bonnet as a skid (no wheels). Took about an hour - but they did an awesome job!!

Thanks!

May everyone remember the sight of this C70 shell next time they hit the loud pedal in the wrong frame of mind, I for one always will, its been a lesson learnt.

Onwards and upwards Wobbly.

Nothing wrong with that, a little T-Cut and it'll be back to new :jaw:

yeah I am sure it would just buff out. Having no engine, transmission, wheels, interior, door, front end - I am sure it would just sail through the MOT!?! LOL

P.S Still love you lots!I honestly thought the above said it all. But as it's turned into a free for all maybe if Wobbly had had a bit more downforce on the rear lol he would have made the turn. Just a thought :slap:

I think it is well past the time where I should be passing on the batton marked "Point and Laugh". A good ribbing comes to us all eventually - and I meant it "in the best possible taste" (crosses legs)

Sadly no. Went there for the first time in 2005. Rather liked it, apart from the first corner which I only got right once during 2 quallies and 2 races!

Race dates are posted on here somewhere under meet ups.

Anyone on here is most welcome. :)

Found it..
