Never thought it would come to this!

Being part of the Viper community and owning Venom has been a big big part of my life for nearly 10 years now , I've made many freinds on the way and had many great adventures all over the World /Europe with Venom, not only is it a car , a Viper becomes one of the family its always so much more than a car to most of us, Viper is life.
Back in 2001 my dream came true and Venom has given me so much pleasure over the years and I never for one moment imagined being without her..I still can't. But now I have to face the fact that I have got to sell, the reason is our house has major building structure issues and I have tried all ways and means to find a way around the problems but only major £££££ is going to get the issued sorted. If I were selling for another Viper or selling for another Supercar them maybe it wouldn't be so hard, but I'm not and so loosing my Venom is going to leave a major hole in my life. Sorry if I sound like a wet blanket over a car but I'm sure for some of us Viper is Life.
Selling this car is gonna brake my heart and I will admit to a few tears as I type this (what a sad basta*d I am), I just hope that you still let me be part of the forum and still allow me to Viper meetings whilst I'm Viperless (it could be for many years) I hope one day to have another Viper but its alway going to be like loosing your first love, Venom is and will alway be the only Viper I,ll ever want to own
To say I feel gutted is a massive understatement, whilst I'd love to see Venom find a home where she will get the fuss I will find it very very hard to see another owner driving her, maybe with time I'll get over it.
I hope guy guys will still allow me to hang around with you all.
Can't believe this is happening, whilst it had been on the card since last year I had hoped something would else would get me out of this mess, reality hurts....a lot

t! Sorry to hear that Tom!
Not good news, if there is anything I can do to help then please let me know... How much work are we talking? I'm thinking an en-masse ViperClub arrive & build event!? Or is this pretty serious?
I can completely understand the hurt that will come with selling, I came pretty close to it toward the end of last year myself, (but luckily I had another option). It would tear me apart to have to be Viperless, so I can completely understand how this must be hitting you.
It goes without saying that you will always be welcome among us, Viper or not, if it truely has come to having no option but to sell Venom, then let's hope it's not too long before you're seated firmly in another one.
Very Sad News!
You have my numbers if you want a chat, or if there is anything I can do.
All the best!

come on Tom what is it
Many thanks for the kind words. Without going into to much detail on the forum we need to pull the whole house down, I had a hope that major building work would be possible but pulling down the house and starting again will be the best/only realistic option. I'm going to wait till after Le Mans before advertising , and to be honest I will keep putting it off till the 12th hour, still hoping for a lottery win as even selling the Viper will only raise enough to start the built (I estimate it could take at least 5 years from start to finish).
I hope no one will be offended if I have a for sale sign in the window at Supercar Sunday,it will be a sad meeting for us as it could be the last meeting I have the Venom for and it was also one of the very first meetings Venom attended in 2001. Thanks for your input and ideas but sadly I can't live in a Viper Coupe nor a chicken Coupe! I remember Aug 2001 like it was yeasterday, a dream come true when we drove her away from Hatfields Chrysler Showroom.........this sadly will be then end of a very special and unforgetable part of my life. I don't think I would even feel the same about another Viper as I love the Gen2 Coupes and the Blue and Whites , plus to own a Viper that was still under it Chrysler warranty and had the "new car smell"
can never be repeated
Having done so many great trips with Venom and even taking her to New Zealand with us makes it a one in a million car for me and whilst this might sound crazy, Venom became one of the family many years ago, the kids grew up with her and it will feel like selling a child or special pet, whilst the money will be good it can never compare to the good times/memories the car has given us..... I guess/hope with time I get over it. The big problem for me will always seeing her with someone else and knowing I had to sell under duress, so whilst I will not be leaving the Viper camp if your all still have me (I promise no dyno day windups)to see Venom at the meetings with a new owner will be difficult and upsetting.
But on a positive note I WILL....I repeat..I WILL.. have another Viper again, it's the only car that ever statified me for its looks and performance, once the builD is completed I'll be saving
plus, for all the bhin and windups we sometimes have with one another your the best car nuts I've ever had the pleasure to meet even that bloke who knows everything you could ever want to know about Viper,the other bloke who can fix anything that you could ever need fixing on a Viper, the Old gitt with the spuds , some chap who is in love with the colour white and leads us onwards and upwards and his talented side kick!, the bloke who likes to win all the silverware and eats to much meat, to name just a few! What a Club!............Almost forgot......a chap who thinks he's Wizard in the US who I've never meet but help me getting Venom to New Zealand and even sent me some bits and a t-shirt free of charge! Now that's what you call a special bunch of car nuts!...to name but a few........Duxford Disaster.....more hero's showed themselfs on that day also.
