• Our rad little c70 convertible went bang bang today down in dorset. Main drive into the gearbox snapped apparently. It’s a write off as even a clutch replacement is almost as much as it’s worth.
    Managed to get recovered to a place nearby who’ll look at it in the morning but it’s probably terminal.

    Got a year out of it, was fun but such is life.

    Got the joy of a 3hr ride to work tomorrow so I can borrow the works Luton til something gets sorted.
    Luckily we were on a family holiday so dad(40yrs in motor industry) swung into action.
    Now on a train home while scouring autotrader to find something else and trying to find a breakers down in dorset to weigh in the Volvo with.
    I really wish I didn’t need a car in my life but hey ho.

  • Sorry, but I can tell you right now that it's terminal, I scrapped one on a dead clutch alone. Apparently half the car has to be taken apart to get at it, the projected labour was terrifying.

  • Absolutely gutted. Loved the fact you just went for it and enjoyed it as a fun car. RIP.
