Goodbye
Well it happened yesterday and I'm still thinking was it right......
The 90 was sold yesterday afternoon and I'm now defenderless. The MST will be collected next week and other than a few bits and bobs that are hanging around it's all over.
I will still look in now and again, I'm not leaving forever, nothing will replace the Defender. No matter what else was on the drive, the biggest smile was always when driving it. To be honest just looking out the window and seeing it made me smile.
Still times change and we all move along on our journeys.
I've enjoyed the Forum, met a few new friends but spent time meeting true enthusiasts, good luck and best wishes to you all.

Well Nobby, the Defender is "special" in so many ways, so you'll probably miss it for a while.
But you obviously have your own reason for selling, and for sure there are many other interesting cars/projects out there.
So I wish you well in your journey to what comes next.
Pickles.

Nobby, you can take comfort in the fact that many, probably most of us have had to say goodbye to our beloved vehicles. I still think about the vehicles I sold and maybe shouldn't have. A 300 Tdi 90, a Morgan four seater, a Citroen 2CV and an Allis Chalmers vintage tractor have all gone but I still have the photos and the memories. Circumstances and preferences constantly change, you have to go with what you feel at the time. Good luck and if you keep dipping into the forum you may be back driving a Defender at some time in the future. Defender 90XS SW

I'm sure if you have the opportunity you'll be back.
Until then good luck and enjoy what ever you buy next.!
