Sorry to hear that mate.
As Winston C himself once said - "If you are going through hell? keep going..."

So guys, I hope you're all well.
A sad day, over the past 48 hours my better half and I (Amber) have been chatting, and I've decided to let the Changa go :'(.
I know, but needs must. It's been a really hectic 12 months. Firstly I was made redundant after 15 years of devotion at an awesome startup (I know I've shared those trails and tribulations previously), then I started a newCo with a dear colleague, that's still progressing well, but man, the hours it takes from you, and the cash, gawd I've never burnt money so fast or so hard. Then last summer the challenging bit. Our youngest had to go in for serious surgery, surgery that burnt 10's of thousands :wtf:. Worse was it was touch and go for a while, a real traumatic weekend at one point, with more flat lines than hot meals. But, we got through it, and she's still with us. So, f-it, that's all that matters. Really makes you reassess though. So, even though I love my little metal baby, I love my family more, and whilst we get this business to the point we want it I've decided to release some funds from my pastimes and various collectables.
I'd always hoped to humbly finish this beauty, and (in the old days) subsequently hoped to post her in BOTM, wishing in the best case to even maybe fortunately be honoured to achieve a calendar inclusion, or bring her along to show her at MK. But, times change, life changes, and we continue. So, you may have seen, she's now listed on eBay, yep, for crazy money, but we'll see.
Don't get me wrong, I'll still build. Just not for a while yet.
None the less, I'm not going down without a fight. Over the next few days I'll be endeavouring to finish her, before I regrettably break her down in anticipation of pastures new for her.
So, if of interest watch this space, for some rapid progress to completion. All going well more to follow tomorrow.
Stay safe guys. :radbmxsmilie:

Oh man that bums :(
You should join us in the dark side (mid school). It's much cheaper, that's for sure :LolLolLolLol:

So, I got as far as polishing the ol girl today, and putting air back in the tyres then my wife called to unexpectedly be taken to hospital. Long story short, detached retina, and being taken in for surgery in the morning.Gee's life throws you challenges in abundance sometimes!
So, may be a little delay on planned Finnish sprint on this one....
