I think I'm cured

Greetings to all members old and new. It is now 9 months since I handed custodianship of my Rover 75 to member Salisbury 789. Over the initial months I had all sorts of misgivings, thinking what have I done, and suffering real Rover withdrawal symptoms. Then gradually the ache got less, and then reading about rusting sills, mice attacking underbody felt, and endless clutch issues started to convince me the decision to hand over to a new caring owner had been the right one. Salisbury 789 who now has my Rover displays the level of enthusiasm that I had 10 years ago, so it augers well for the future of my old car. For my part, the joy of being able to go in the garage and not have to squeeze past the Rover every time I needed a screwdriver or other tools is priceless, lawn mowing is no longer subjected to moving the car,usually with a flat battery in order to access the mower. I still feel very much involved, reading the forum every day, and intend to maintain my membership, as the forum is a right good read. I would not have missed the joy of owning a 75 but to quote the Bard theres a tide in the affairs of man, which taken at the flood leads on to fortune, and for me it was such a time, and am happy to say no more misgivings, just ongoing pleasure that my old car has seemingly found such a good home.
