Death of a LAUNCH car...

Nige B · 13th February 2015, 19:29

Only 2 cars left on the drive now ...the v reg launch" has left the building" so to speak .Had it on the drive for 2 1/2 years give or take ...When I bought it had intentions of getting it fixed (cam belt failure when bought ) ..it became apparent a little later that it wouldn't be a viable project and so broke it up and supplied parts to other members and helped out a few folk ( some launch car owners amongst them ) with spares.>>>SO parts of it Live on.

...It finally became time to take what was left to be weighed in ....after taking a few last bits off Thursday

...Its sad I know but it was no use as it was and because a lot of it had gone it was a bit of an eye sore in the drive....so anyone else with a " Launch car " ....it has just become a little rarer.

The only way to keep other fine examples on the road is to sacrifice some, it was the right decision. Just a shame some people take it to heart a bit too much.
