That would never happen on an S1 Robin. :D

Nearly the end of an era for me. :cry:

Gave the car a final clean prior to Tut collecting it on Friday. Decided I'd even get the wheels off to make sure all the suspension bits were all shiny.

Looks awesome.

Tut, will you be stopping in at Halfords for polish as I'm guessing you don't have any at the towers.

Looking forward to seeing the car.

Looks really tidy, but you do realise that in the next photograph you see of it, it will probably be devoid of any paint at the front and will have selected wildlife stuck to the grill......??



:wink:

Enjoy it Tut. :thumbsup

Keith, do you actually realise whom you are selling it to?

Great photos, and joking aside I will do my best to keep it looking like that. Shall not be polishing it as often, but will be putting the power washer on the suspension, chassis, etc to keep it as corrosion free as I can. And as I said, if the Car Bra fits it will be going on for road runs, they are the real killers and I ain't proud, i have seen grown men cry when they stopped and looked at the front of their new car after a two hour run on our backroads up here.

Will give you a call when I leave Bristol on Friday morning.

That was the old tut, but he is grown up now and far more responsible.
