Well people just a few lines to say goodbye, I have decided to hand my car back to the finance company as I can no longer afford to run it with losing my job end of July 08 & starting a new job on £8k less than my old job, so will be investing in a push bike or something along those lines. Keep up the good work in the forum & I shall pop in from time to time. I haven't offered it or sale as there is too much finance outstanding on it as they paid off my previous car when I took out the finance for this.

So whoever gets my car will be very lucky

White c/w blue stripes
07 Plate
Lowered Suspension
just under 8000 on clock
Perfect in every way

sorry to see you have to let the go but when times are hard your making the right move .. hope things work out for you mate and you never know you may get a promotion at the new place and will be able to pick up another one as the prices for them are going through the floor on the 2nd hand market

I'm really sorry to hear about this Pete

None of us can be sure of things atm... I'm just looking on the positive side and believing that i'll be able to battle through the next couple of years and make the payments I need and keep happy... can't do any more really.

Keep intouch

Thanks for the comments peeps, well going to look at push bikes 2morrow, that will be a new expreiance as haven't ridden a bike since I had a paper round sum 31 yrs ago. As for chances of promotion I doubt it, apparently I am too over qualified so I am just using this place until something better comes along so it pays the bills.

I think thats the case at current... get anything that pays the bills for the next year or two... then after the down period is over and things are on the up you can look at getting back into a similar role again.

Thats a shame Pete. Sad to let em go but needs must. I am selling mine at the mo so that I have some spare cash in order to start saving for a house deposit to hopefully progress up housing ladder while prices are low.

All the best mate, i know how it feels to hand over the motor...i would have suggested selling the car off and settling the finance, luckily i managed to do this with mine and come out with £800 quid at the end of it, mind you i didnt have previous finance wacked on top.

Anyway, things will get better believe me. All the best.
