Terry Field Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 Sorry Chris!Oddly, before I retired, I used to do about 7000 miles a year. Last year I did just 1000. The problem is that SWMBO doesn't like touring in it, and the roads down here are not really suited to 'spirited' driving - there are only so many times you can blat across Exmoor. It breaks my heart to sell it after so long, but it seems criminal to let it sit in the garage unused.I hope to buy something a bit older and more 'classic' to fill the space in the garage (may even have to buy a cloth cap!), and maybe do a bit more touring.I think the 7 will always be in my genes though!How's the 'new' car going by the way?CheersTerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloucestershire AR Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Work out when she was last in the car Terry, then tell her that one of your club colleagues asked you who was the sexy lady with you in the car and did your wife know?Or just tell her you quite understand that she's too old to go i the 7 now...Or perhaps not!Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted July 14, 2016 Area Representative Share Posted July 14, 2016 Classic good looks, nice specification. Low mileage, good for twice as many with another 50,000 in hand. Good luck with the sale, it deserves a great home. It's not so much "Can you live with a Crossflow but how could you live without one?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
