GIVING THE MANATORY 30 DAYS NOTICE !!!

Postby REDDERS » Sun Nov 16, 2008 10:29 pm

Now is the time to say GOODBYE,to the lovely sport tourer,my business & (great!?!) britain.
(rewind time) In june this year i suffered 2 heart attacks in 4 hours (5ft10ins/11stone)Spent 5 days in local hospital then to papworth to have 3 stents inserted (thank you nhs,nothing but praise).On release ,decided to try & sell my business,found a buyer 3 weeks later,& now all is coming together for completion of sale around 17 dec.
Now living in virtually a shell,pictures down,ornaments packed,post it notes on all the furniture(thanks kids!!!)house nearly ready to rent out.Starting to contact gas/electric,banks....god there's SO much to do,still on 22nd dec we will be starting a new life in bodrum,turkey.Now the saddest part in all of this is that i am including the meg tourer in the sale of the business.I have to say that i thought that my last motor,2001 vw golf 130(chipped to 165 bhp)estate would be hard to beat,but i've really enjoyed my time with the meg ,now 4.5 years old with 96k,it's been very reliable,& is still a cool looking estate car.
Anyway,i'm not into loooong goodbyes......so see ya !!!!!






HA HA been good conversing with you all,& i willbe monitoring this site from turkey,my new email address will be redders99@live.com from 24.12.2008.

take care ,TRY & keep britain on its feet while i'm gone,oh & a very happy christmas to you all.

Cheers guys,motoring in turkey is bloody expensive,fuel 10p a litre dearer than uk,new cars same price,old bangers(& i mean OLD)are dear eg:1998 vectra 1.8 £700 in uk.....£3800 in turkey,as road tax gets cheaper the older the car is.Fiat 131,renault 11 broadways are being stripped and totally rebuilt for re sale.Fully comp insurance is around £500 for a 1.4 motor,hence many locals drive uninsured.M.O.T.s are annual,even from new,only 2 test stations in the whole of SWest turkey,no pre booking allowed,get there at 8am & you COULD be away by 4pm,but local turks often jump the que,check the lights,wriggle the steering wheel & check the fire extinguisher + first aid kit (dont worry if you haven't got these as the is a man walking down the que who will rent these to you,& collect them back after you come out !!!!.Thats it 1years MOT gained.
Re driving in turkey jeez,its like italy,but with drivers with no brains or eyes or ANY command of the road...no thanks its not for me,ive driven well over 1million miles in the uk & i'm still alive,i dont wish to jeapadise my health by driving over there.
Anyway i'll still be about on here....but over there!! IN THE SUNSHINE (sorry)

all the best martin 8)

With road tax prices heading the way they are, i think we will be rebuilding cars pre2001 soon aswell?
