End of an era - the 340rR has left the building
End of an era - the 340rR has left the building
After 8 years and 2 weeks of ownership I had a final dram with the car last night and Thibault from Pau picked her up today to take her across the channel. First time without a plastic car in 16 years, last time that happened was pre Sarah! I managed to not succumb to the widow maker and still vividly remember Gregg ripping the piss at the festival night the day I bought it. I think he and Benny were arguing over the sweep on which day the following week I would be dead.
What a car, its been emotional.

Great memories, Sanj. Better to have loved and lost etc. Clinky to you both.

That ship has sailed, John. I tried. But he's bought some cabriolet nonsense already

8 years!!! ...still think of it as Sanj's new lotus! Just hope there is a suitable replacement.

I remember that pic from the Ferrari garage - the only place in Biarritz that would actually change our rear tyres, although they did take 3 hours and charge about £120! Also remember the showroom there and the brand new 458 at that time.
That's was also the trip we were pouring entire bottles of water on our heads trying to stay alive with the 40C temps and you managed to burn your feet on the pedals coming in to town!
I just about ruined myself with dehydration, but apart from that, a truly epic Frolic!
And that's just a quick thought about when you owned it, let alone Scotty!!
Is it staying in SE or off to warmer climbs?

The death sweep winnings remain unclaimed. Suppose that means me and Benny both owe you a pint.
I remember that night - Spiegel Tent. Over eight years ago. Wonder how many kids we've all managed to infect the world with since then!
Cracking car. Hope you got what you wanted for her ££ wise.

My fondest memory of 340rr was it bobbing about in my mirror en route home from the 050709 camping at Gairloch. Sanj was tall enough to see over its windscreen.
