MarcTS 1 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 As quite a lot of you are aware, I am heading off to America shortly, so it is time to sell up and move on. And as the removal men are showing up tomorrow, I thought I'd say my farewells now. I got my CTS 4 years ago and I have loved owning and driving the car. There have been a core group of very helpful people here and I have honestly learnt a lot and hopefully I have provided some helpful information to others as well.I think the saddest thing of all is that because I will be living in Manhattan, I won't actually be buying a car once I get there, so I will most likely end up renting some classic Americana at weekends to go for drives etc.Peace out!

MarcTS 1 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 Strangely enough, you hadn't been included in that list of helpful and friendly people I mentioned earlier :P You might be pleased to know you are king of the sarcasm list though ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MarcTS 1 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 Once I get my permanent place sorted, I have issued an open invitation to people who know me. Also a lot of people are already asking me to set up an export business feeding the UK with 2ZZ-GE parts as they are far more popular state side than in the UK!
