Bye Buy Beryl ...

After a long and often torturous eBay auction ... honestly the things people get away with ... anyway on with the post, Beryl was sold to a buyer in Brisbane, Queensland. To be honest when we saw where the buyer was we were kinda hoping that he wouldn't bother to come and collect it! Selling it was probably the right thing to do so that it didn't just sit in the shed. I've loved driving it, its been a great car for three years. I couldn't justify the on road costs for the odd drive out on what would effectively be on my own on a Sunday afternoon.


So long story short, I picked up the buyer at the local airport, signed her over to a lovely couple and off they went together on the long road home. They game me a call later to tell me that after 780km and ten hours she hadn't missed a beat.... I didn't expect anything less. Gone but not forgotten Beryl! ;0(
