They Think It's All Over, It Is Now.....

rich17865 · 14th July 2016, 18:43

Tomorrow morning, I shall be collecting my new car, which as you probably know by now is a replacement for my 1.8T Auto Tourer which is moving on to pastures new. I will of course point Simon, it's new owner in the direction of the forum and you may well see it being shown off on here again

I have chosen to replace my 75 with a 2012 Kia Optima 2 Tech Auto, difficult choice, I had been tempted by BMW but thought that every man and their dog has one. There are only 3,200 Optima's on UK roads, which makes them a little exclusive

As an added plus, they are loaded with toys and are very good value for money second hand.

Thought I might take the opportunity to share some photos from my time here, hope you enjoy them

Thanks everyone for everything

Good luck with the new car but can't help feeling there's a whole bunch of nostalgia in the above pictures which will pull you back home one day.

All the best Rich, hope your new Kia turns out to be a worthy replacement for your beautiful 75.

Great pics BTW

Good luck with the new car. Been good knowing you (if only on the forum).

Question: picture of the drivers memory seat: what is the extra button for?

I also think he'll be back....

Good luck with the new wheels. Can't help but think this is a joke until I see you in the new car!

Now officially listed as Killed In Action....

If you don't make it back, make it to some meets if you can. Good luck with the new motor.
