Well, Its over, my 159 is gone
Just want to report the sad news that my 159 has been sold and the guy came to pick it up last night, had a very emotional night to say the least and i am now deprived of sleep lol, anywho ya what can i say? i loved this car, it felt like i was betraying a faithful friend, i think what makes these cars so special and dear to us is all the experiences that they contribute to making extra special, when going on holiday its never just get in the car and me and the fam go on holiday, its us and the car that goes on holiday, we spend atleast a quater of the trip talking about the car everytime, the 159 just put the driving experience bar way high and now that shes gone everything feels black and white, i was thinking of playing you guys a photo montage of all the cars experiences with johnny cash's hurt in the background but that would be way to cheesy and sad for a forum lol.
But yes, so long my old friend, thank you for 2 of the best motoring years of my life. i have atleast sold you to a caring family but will always miss you.......
some pics before her departure....

Its hard but i'm practicing patience here...not wining.

rather buy her a picanto, lots of nice features, unkillable 1.1 engine, decent performance for a 1.1, parts are very well priced especially if you go to the right people, if you buy a kia/hyundai i will tell you and not the most wanted car for hijacking etc and feels much better on the road than a dingy old golf
