Default Sad day - MFL being scrapped

The Old English 499MFL is being broken after engine failure. A sad day - the first I will need to remove, not add to the white register.

It is actually an 'Atlantic Blue' brought out prior to the 'Odyssey' this was my Atlantic, and my Odyssey went down Humberside way

Colin don't try and justify why you intend to break MFL this car was deemed for the scrap yard when I purchased her, so you did her justice by keeping her going.

After moving into my current 'eurobox' I can appreciate your decision after all the cost of putting the items right do not justify the value of the car, regardless what any other member may say. You know your income and expenditure and what you can afford, good luck and hope you recuperate a little from her.
