Goodbye CSL...!

Craig · 23-01-2010, 06:28 PM

OK, well talk about flogging a dead horse, but I guess this time it's an 'official' goodbye. A rather knowledgable chap came and collected the shell on Thursday, aswell as a few other of the remaining parts. So I officially no longer own a CSL and boy, does that bug me!!!

However, the eagle eye's fanatics amongst you might have spotted the new steed lurking in the background!

sURELY NOT THE lAND rOVER cRAIG !!! ...OH bOLLOX caps again

Craig · 23-01-2010, 06:49 PM

Yep, that way straight over AF won't be an issue anymore (for the reference I have never done that) and next time I go grass / gravel tracking at SX I might get some grip with those nobbly tyres and what not!

I am really sorry mate.

I wish you to be back on a CSL quickly !

Craig · 23-01-2010, 07:46 PM

Think the main thing that'll keep me out of a CSL is insurance quotes of £2800.00, I simply refuse to pay that as in my eye's its money down the drain. I'll enjoy some 'lesser' cars this year however wouldn't mind trying to maybe blag a few passenger ride's in others.

It's funny I've give hundred's of pax laps over the years, and only ever really been out in a few people's cars in comparrison, this time tables have turned and I'll be the one scrounging PAX's.

Are you remapping the silver beast in the background???

Sad day to see it go, but guess you must be relieved in a way.

sorry to see mate - out of interest, how much did you realise on the parts in the end ? PM if prefer.

bromers · 24-01-2010, 10:21 AM

Did it end up worthwhile stripping / breaking the CSL financially ?

karbonkid · 24-01-2010, 12:59 PM

Pleased you got rid of almost everything Craig. Bit of a journey I can image, remarkable job. Hope your in one sooner than you think.

Whos your insurer? I may be able to help get that down a fair bit.

£2800

!!! for an insurance quote ??? Last time I had a silly quote like this was when I rung "Swinton" age 18, trying to get insurance cover on a 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe... oh how we all laughed

I later found out it was their polite way of saying "Fook Off"
