Rob, it's a funny thing you know. There is no way in the world I would have dreamt the day would come when I would even consider selling this car, but this morning one of my nutter mates says to me, "I see you're next car is for sale."
So I check it out and, you know what it's like, the first thing you do is think "ok what do I have to do to get that thing"?
So I think... I'd have to sell the beetle......nah, the Camper...definately not!
Ok ya can't have it.
So it comes down to the 'ol, "if it's meant to be..."
