Ok guys...so...a wee announcement from me. It is with some sadness that I must announce that my RCZ is set to go...on Monday. I have, by and large, loved my ownership experience. Ok, yes, it has come to a conclusion somewhat earlier than I had anticipated and most of you will be aware of the reason for this so I won't cover old ground (there's plenty devoted to that in other threads). There's so much to love about this car; the looks of it and the attention that it gathers, that special quality that it has that makes me still turn back for a second look when I walk away, the curves, its muscular haunches, the presence it has on the road...I could go on.
One particularly unexpected joy from owning this car has been this forum. I cannot tell you how truly honoured I feel to be a part of the best forum on the planet and to have had the pleasure of getting to know each and every one of you. It has been said before but, this is so much more than just a forum!! This is a community and it continues to evolve and grow and I have learned so much about so many things from you. It is my hope that I can continue to be a part of this forum even after I give up the RCZ (whether this will be in my current role or not will have to be decided upon).
You already know what I'm replacing her with, there's pictures of her already within this thread. After quite some negotiations and patience, I managed to strike a deal for the Astra VXR. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on her (as yet unnamed) and giving her a good boot...I'll have plenty of time as it'll be a 6 hour drive home!!
So...it's with very mixed emotions that I will be saying goodbye to my beloved car
:cry): but hopefully not to this forum quite yet!!
