End of an era chaps but ill be back folks!
Discussion
Check out Trademe and give me some support, I am needing it 
Ive been dreading this for a while now but I need to focus on building a family and rebuilding some assets up again, and while the property market is flat theres some pretty cool options out there for me to get back on the ladder that I cant refuse. Memphis is going.....
I am f
ken gutted but thats the choices we make. I can always get another one day. The plan is ive always fancied a GT40 so who knows I might be back with one of those.
For now the Vogue is totally tapped out with diving, windsurfing, mountainbikes, camping, kayaking and fishing gears, so I think ill be ok and least thats got a nice BMW V8 in it for 4WD off-roading adventures in true PH spirit

You're so good at organising trips and so on, Kylie, that I feel you should carry on with it-even sans-Lotus- and be transported in style and luxury in the car of your choice on each occasion. Best of luck with the sale-and with getting some property while it's a buyer's market. Are you looking at Auck or returning to the mainland?
We can commiserate (if thats the right word) together, I've pretty well decided to sell mine also Kylie.
We'll drown our sorrows over a bottle of red or 2!
Just not getting the use and I've moved on to other things.
On the plus side I just got back from an awesome 2 week Fiji kite boarding trip, fastest thing I rode in was the Bula Bus at Denerau Island and I still had fun.
So if anyone wants a supercharged, intercooled Honda powered Elise let me know.
There might be better one around but I'd take some convincing.
Sorry about the hijack Kylie, catch you soon?

Sorry to hear that Kylie. At least your not the only one prioritising housing over Lotuses 
Just to reiterate the view George hasnt said yet Dont assume the property market is going to go up from here, once Memphis goes I'd imagine you'll be in a strong position so make sure you drive a very hard bargain.

Sad to hear Kylie, but I'm sure you'll be back eventually
And you'll stick around PH I'm sure!
As for you Willy.... if only I had the money (or rather if I only hadn't blown it all on my car!)

FWIW I reckon special cars like Memphis aren't ever really 'owned' in the way than normal cars are as they should outlive us all, you've just been his custodian for a while and are now part of his history.
Thanks mate such nice words, who knows may get it back again, I know of a few ex S350 owners now desperatly trying hunt down their old cars again. Theres something special about getting your old car back again it would seem. Just need to go backward a little for a big jump forwards , so as long as I can tell myself this, ill be ok. Besides hasnt sold yet so see what happens, more driving adventures yet FWIW I reckon special cars like Memphis aren't ever really 'owned' in the way than normal cars are as they should outlive us all, you've just been his custodian for a while and are now part of his history.

Hehe true, that would be nice and yes def keen to help out on runs if I can. Id be truly greatful for a seat in any PHers car Just renting a house for next few months so I can search and buy house in Nelson, then eventually buy into 100 acres in the Tasman/Nelson area, and build home on it. Always loved working the land and a great place to raise a family
Something I couldnt choose do up till now. Work has burnt me out mentally, need a change. willyheatley said:

Hey Willy! Yep I am up for a few bottles of plonk! Will be a blow for sure, but like you got other things happening and need to get a move on with it. The kite boarding sounds epic!! I went on a windsurf trip to an outer Island called NanaNu-I-Ra off the top of the main land there. Certainly great NE wind this time of year there. We'll drown our sorrows over a bottle of red or 2!

Ditto all comments above on having to sell the 350S, but like you say, you can always get another one.
