hey renee - it was a 3.0 SC Carerra with just 80,000 miles, with targa top. I had always wanted one and when I got the chance just had to have this one.... it was one of the last 'proper' ones without computers etc - a proper 'old school' sportscar, in guards red, of course!
I've had it for some time though, and did a lot of weekend driving in it as well as taking it to the south of France (Nice, Monacco) for a great driving holiday some years back.... but with it being just too nice for everyday use and inappropriate for out here it had just been stored for the past couple of years... insurance is expensive, and UK gas is heading for $8/gallon, so it made sense to sadly say goodbye
(but not before a 'last blast' !!)
Amazing though what performance (150mph+) and style (elec windows, leather seats etc) was available in Germany 26 years ago though!
You'd have probably liked my previous "toy" too, a 1989 Merc 560 SEC ("magic carpet ride")... a real monster supercar, that was hard to part with too... but now I've decided to be sensible and cut back to just one, modern, sensible(ish) car (yawn!)
and Twilight, hey Liverpool isn't that bad!!! Some of my (Irish-connection) folks are still up there!! but they often moan about the weather
