It breaks my heart that you're selling her, but I understand your decision.
Best of luck with the sale, I'd have been tempted myself. |

Thanks mate, its a shame, but I took 32 flights last year and already have loads of trips booked this year for work, if car parks don't provide CCTV and the police don't care (as is now patently evident) I can't be stressing about what I am going to come back to next time, its not worth living like that.
Valet service doesn't work either as last time I used one of those, someone put a big groove down the N/S doors of my S4 and they denied liability, so I always park myself now. God knows what people with Ferraris and Lambos feel (although they have more money!) |

Always liked that car, lovely example and has been well looked after. Good luck with the sale and really sorry you have to part with it, if I could afford the additional cost of a divorce I would be at your door tomorrow

It's a beautiful car just from that one photo, so I hope it goes to someone on here where it will continue to be cared for.

So gutted for you mate and I know how you when you leave the car at the airport. I don't do 20 flights, but when I do I always book the business plus car park at Heathrow due to much more spaces available so I'm always lucky and I'm able to tuck the car in one of the end corners near the kerb (inch away) to give as much room to anyone who decides park next to me plus not much traffic near the end bays so overhang has never been an issue.
Anyway, I wish you all the best with the sale/interviews mate I hope you will find a perfect new home for her.

Believe me I am hoping I can find a solution in order to keep her, I have been flipping back and forth since the second incident about what to do, whether to keep her or sell her, I certainly wont be letting her go for peanuts, I am not desperate, and if I can find a good solution I most certainly will. I have even toyed with using the track car for airport runs, but it wont be the most comfortable way of doing it, and security is an issue as wires are exposed and stuff - unless I fit a quick release steering wheel and Battery kill switch.
Anyway, took some pics yesterday - she looks gorgeous, I love the look of this car, funny cause I didn't want Silver to start with. |

How about building canopy (steel preferably) to store the car under, fit at least couple of CCTV cameras and put money you spent of airport parking towards reliable airport cabs??

Its safe as anything at home we are in a little cul-de-sec with only two other houses, its when I park anywhere else, a canopy with CCTV can't be taken with me.
The more I think about it since writing the advert, the more I am erring on the side of keeping her, but need to work out how to do it. Sad times |

Could you maybe tow one of these and then put the car in it when you park
Sorry - trying to make light of the situation! Dashcam with parking more front and back maybe? |
