    The final journey & a huge thank you!!

    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.

    I'm glad its all complete now and that era is well and truely at an end with no nasty reminders hanging over us.

    Onwards and upwards Wobbly.

    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

    Nope - I think I will stick with slowing down some.




    And possibly running the right map with the right turbo
