I have just re-taxed "Blue Thunder". So far not one bit of interest in the car. Do I stick it on eBay or do I keep the car for awhile? MMMmmmmm!!!!!

It's the same old story of recent times. I too have seen the car she is a fine example of what we all know is a collectable car. There just aren't that many people with 8,000 to splash on a 'spare car' at the mo.

Not much point in keeping her if you aren't 'feeling the vibe' anymore and on the other hand not a good time to sell her for decent money that's for sure so its all up to you.

Whatever happens I'm strongly of the view that owning your dream car
and having driven it is an experience that will stay with you long after the car and you part company

Those memories are priceless.

Best of luck
