Goodbye RA28.

Having sold my RA28, today was the day I delivered it tot he freight company for delivery to the new owner. This morning, my girlfriend looked out the window to the garage, and asked if this was the last time she would see it? I replied yes, to which see then asked if I would miss it? While still half asleep, I replied no, and thought nothing more of it - then I woke up.
Packing the car onto the trailer, I was reminded about the amount of time, effort and money I had put into this car. Things like:
Buying it for $3000 in 1992 when it was still standard and red, rebuilding the motor to solve the rattling timing chains, writing it off in an accident and then rebuilding it the first time, rebuilding it a second time with a wild 3TGTE, rebuilding it a third time basically back to a standard driveline, rebuilding it a forth time with a mild 3TGTE and spending more time on the steering and suspension, motorkhanas, sprints, rallies and travelling time to and fro, getting the chicane at Collie Speed Complex all wrong and sliding it into the dirt - and feeling completely safe doing it as the car sat flat and stable while spinning, ... and lots more.
So in the end the car I thought I wouldn't miss much has now left me for a new home, and I'm feeling bit meloncholy. I'll take solcae in the hope that it's new owner has as many hours of enjoyment out of it as I did!
But enough of this rambling, I've got a new project to get on with!
