Took the old T5 to her final resting place this evening. Must admit felt quite sad and guilty for letting her go and typically despite having loads of parts missing she drove and sounded fantastic. Had her the best part of 10 years, 8 of which involved daily commuting to my missus' workplace 70 odd miles a day. Bought with a shade over 100,000 miles on her, now well over 300,000, we will miss her !.
Out in the Lakes
Clean engine
Gadding around at a Caterham slalom day many years ago !
Looking very sorry for her self earlier this evening.
