Thats the one, sold it to a guy who sold it 3 months ago to a couple who were travelling then taking her home, upsets me everytime i think about
it...i sold it for a fair price and he sold it for not much more as he didnt really know what they are worth...i would have purchased her back for
that, a lot of memories, I guess you cant keep everything, but you can try
